If someone without health insurance was riding a bicycle and was hit by a taxi and broke his arm, does the ?

taxi’s insurance cover it automatically? and roughly how much money can the person on the bike get for pain and suffering…etc?. thanks
in the state of florida

1st there has to be a police report to determine fault. If you were breaking any traffic laws, it’s your bill. Pain and suffering is determined by doctor’s reports and if you attended every appointment and once you pursue pain and suffering, be prepared to be under surveillance and it is difficult to have a judge order pain and suffering for a broken arm. Obviously a broken bone is painful and prescription pain medication manages the suffering part.Warning; a judge will order maximum he is allowed if you are trying to take advantage of an unfortunate situation also is the most difficult to determine. Be prepared that an ad will run in the local newspaper asking for anyone that witnessed this accident to come forth and testify. Good Luck.

  1. The Taxis insurance should at the very least cover the costs of medical but pain and suffering may not be covered without a lawyer.

  2. You will get your medical covered and about $25k extra if you’re lucky

  3. You can sue for as much as you like. And knowing this, the insurance company will generally look to pay you off and make you go away.

  4. depends on who was at fault..if you ran in front of the cab you get nothing and maybe have to fix his car if it was damaged.

  5. In Oregon, it depends on if you were operating the bicycle lawfully… i.e. following traffic laws to determine you were not at fault. Then the automobile’s PIP and liability covers it. Pain and suffering can be three times the medical expenses, not including punitive damages.

    Best Guess…

  6. Wow, you must be a Democrat. Good luck with your bogus lawsuit.
