July 9, 2009 car hit me when i was crossing the street by bicycle through walking way in green light. How can i claim damages and hospital bill?

Question Details: car was turning right to the highway and was only looking to her left hand side to coming cars but didn't look at her right hand side to the walking or cycling passengers before start move. when there is red light cars can turn right and join to highway but they have to check their two sides whether there is a walking passengers or not on the road before they start move isn't it? Police office said my fault because i was riding bicycle in walking way. So whose fault in this case? And how can i claim all the damages, hospital bills, physical and mental shock?

Under no-fault, you are entitled to medical expense payment regardless of your negligence.  New Jersey is a "comparative negligence" state which means that if your negligence is less than 50% responsible for the accident, you can still sue for pain and suffering in some cases.  Because the law is complicated and more information is required, you should speak to an attorney.  Most lawyers who represent people in these cases will not charge for a consultation of this type.
