Bike and pedestrian injuries
Hit on a bike or on foot
On a bike or on foot, there's nothing between you and the car. The injuries are worse, and the driver's insurer is quick to say you came out of nowhere.
Citlali looks for the gas station camera, the witness at the bus stop and the skid marks before they fade. She works with your doctors to show what the injury means for your job and your days.

What helps a bike or walking claim
These cases turn on where everyone was. Help us show it.
Mark the exact spot
Drop a pin on your phone or write down the cross streets and which corner you were on.
Ask about cameras early
Stores and gas stations record over their video within days. Tell us where to look.
Keep up with treatment
Gaps in physical therapy are what insurers point to first. Tell us if a ride or a schedule is the problem.
Keep the bike and the helmet
Don't repair or throw out damaged gear yet. It can show how the crash happened.
Bike and walking questions
What if the driver says I wasn't in the crosswalk?
That's common, and it isn't the end of the claim. Fault can be shared, and cameras, witnesses and the damage often tell a different story.
I wasn't wearing a helmet. Can I still make a claim?
Usually, yes. Not wearing one may come up when the injury is weighed, but it doesn't excuse the driver who hit you.
My child was hit. Who makes the claim?
A parent or guardian makes it for the child. Children's claims have their own rules for settlement, and we walk you through them.
