Most personal injury and wrongful death cases involve cars and trucks and the insurance policies that cover the drivers and passengers in those vehicles. However, personal injury and wrongful death cases are just as viable when people are injured or killed driving and riding other modes of transportation such as mopeds and bicycles. Insurance policies of the drivers who cause the accident and injuries and/or death also will likely cover the accident involving the moped or bicycle. Depending on the circumstances, the injured or deceased party's own insurance policy should also cover the traffic accident when the at fault driver is either uninsured or does not have sufficient insurance to cover the damages.
Most people think of injury cases involving accidents to include more traditional vehicles like cars and trucks. However, for people who have been injured or killed while riding a moped, riding a bicycle or as a pedestrian, there is an equally valid personal injury or wrongful death claim to be made for those damages as well.
