ok, this, unfortunately is a time of year, where lots of us are cycling and some of us get hit.

Jared, I am an attorney, I represent cyclists, I am an OBRA racer and a bicycle geek.

In your fact pattern, you may need to testify in the criminal case against the driver.

You have several options as to what you can do about you and your bicycle.
Driving a car with no insurance may mean there is no insurance to cover the driver, or it may not.
If you have a case, even though you were cycling, you have portions of your car isnurance that will cover you. Your car medical called PIP, and your car Uninsured Motorist will both offer coverage.

If you have renters or homeowners insurance those may cover your expensive bike.

If you have health insurance that may also cover your medical expenses.

give a call or contact me directly via email and I am happy to talk.
