What are my rights if I was hit by a car while riding my bike?
The lady admitted to playing with her radio and said that she didn’t see me. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and then had therapy for a few months for my back. Insurance paid me out on my bike but for my pain and suffering and medical bills I bearly have enough. I won’t get any money. Should I settle or request to fight and go to court to get it?

I would like to be able to tell you exactly what to do, but I need to know more about your specific injuries. Has your back healed up completed? Did you get an scans, MRI, CT? What was the specific diagnosis that your doctor gave you? You may be entitled to a lot more money depending on the extent of your injuries. In both Texas and Louisiana where I have handled vehicle accident cases, there is a big difference between a soft tissue back injury and a permanent spinal disc injury, so we need to know what you have. Give me a call anytime - I don't charge for initial consultations. You may be able to settle the case yourself for more money. (504)-322-9159. www.jamesflinnlaw.com
