Some home insurance policies include liability that covers these situations.<\/p>\nTo calculate the compensation for cyclist collisions<\/strong>, several variables<\/strong> must be considered (injuries, material damages, sequelae, etc.).

As we have already mentioned, collecting all possible evidence, requesting police and health assistance and collecting witnesses’ details<\/strong> will be essential in the event of a dispute.<\/p>\nAssuming that the cyclist complied with the traffic regulations on the day of the collision, it will be necessary to prove that the car driver caused the collision <\/strong>due to some type of negligence.<\/p>\nNormally, this negligence is due to recklessness or carelessness<\/strong>, which does not mean that the person intended to cause harm. At other times, it may be a drunk driver, speeding, improper use of a mobile phone or malpractice.<\/p>\nSteps you will have to take after the accident<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Monitor your medical progress<\/strong> and ensure that the doctor notes any worsening or discomfort caused by the accident in the report.<\/li>\n
- Assess the material damage<\/strong> by taking photographs of the bicycle and the damaged equipment, and ask the workshop for a detailed estimate of damage and repair cost.<\/li>\n

Bicyclist collision with electric scooter<\/h3><\/div>This is a situation that is actually quite common<\/strong>. In fact, it occurs quite frequently, since both vehicles, bicycles and VMPs, use the same areas<\/strong> quite frequently.<\/p>\nSlowly, municipalities are starting to require personal mobility vehicle rental companies to take out civil liability insurance<\/strong>; however, private owners are still not required to do so. Only in some cities such as Benidorm, Alicante and Barcelona<\/strong> is it mandatory.<\/p>\nWhat happens if a cyclist is hit by an electric scooter?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe steps to take are the same as in any other vehicle collision:<\/p>\n
\n- Call the emergency department to get the police and emergency services<\/strong>. It is important that the statement includes the damage that can be seen with the naked eye on the bicycle and equipment, and in the health report, the injuries that can be seen in a first clinical assessment.<\/li>\n
- In some cases, the perpetrator of the accident flees the scene, which is why the role of witnesses is crucial<\/strong>, including their collaboration to collect the main details of that person: name, surname, telephone and insurance company, if they have one.<\/li>\n
- It is very likely that the owner of the scooter does not have insurance<\/strong>. Once again, we emphasise the importance of taking out insurance for these personal mobility vehicles, especially if used often to go to work, to school\/university, etc. In this way, the insurer can cover compensation for third parties if they are involved in an accident, either with another vehicle or with a pedestrian. An alternative may be home insurance<\/strong>, as some include family liability clauses.<\/li>\n
- Witnesses are key in this type of incident<\/strong>. Try to get their details, if the police have not already done so.<\/li>\n
- To initiate the claim and get the maximum compensation, we recommend contacting an expert accident lawyer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
