A good insurance company should look at the same factors that a judge or jury would look at in Court. These would include the following items:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Medical expenses (Ambulance, Hospital, physical therapy, medical bills, mileage, medications, miscellaneous), past and anticipated in the future<\/li>\n
  2. Loss of Earnings (past and future)<\/li>\n
  3. Damage to the bicycle and other personal property<\/li>\n
  4. Permanent impairment of the injured arm, leg, etc.<\/li>\n
  5. Scarring (i.e., scar revision will cost $_______ and cause you to miss ____ days\/weeks from work (get an estimate from a board certified plastic surgeon)),<\/li>\n
  6. Your life expectancy. In other words, how long will you have to see the orthopedic doctor, take anti-inflammatories, pain medications and have related expenses ?<\/li>\n
  7. Any increased risk of arthritic changes, bone and joint disease and re-injury<\/li>\n
  8. Aggravation and inconvenience are also to be compensated in addition to pain, lost wages, lost earning capacity and mental suffering.<\/li>\n
  9. Did the injured cyclist attempt to mitigate her damages ?<\/li>\n
  10. Was the injured biker at all at fault in causing the accident ?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
