Probably not. This would be a property claim. The law states that if you are hit while on your bicycle, by a motor vehicle, your insurance company will cove miscellaneous expenses such as damage to clothing, glasses, hearing aids, and other similar expenses. Essentially, your accident benefit insurer will pay for smaller items that may have been damaged in the bicycle accident and that are not otherwise covered by a property damage claim. We have had adjusters pay for bicycle helts and bicycle gear, but never a bicycle. This answer is pursuant to s. 24 of the accident benefit schedule.
I was a dental hygienist that suffers from really bad scoliosis. My insurance company ignored my doc & cut my benefits off & told me I could do “something”. Matt got me CPP Disability and and LTD settlement – I don’t know what I would have done without him.
My daughter was killed by a drunk driver and it forever changed all of our lives. It seemed that for two years time stopped. This was no an easy journey. Matt let me sit in on the discovery of the driver and boy, he never let up. In the end, our grand-daughter was taken care of and we were compensated for our loss – which we then donated to a cause we believed in.
I call Matt my knight in shining armour. After I was struck by a car while cycling and permanently crippled, he fielded all communications with my especially difficult and downright nasty insurance adjuster. Every step of my care was a battle and I did not have the strength to fight alone.
I lost my leg in a terrible motorcycle accident and Matt help me recover compensation I need because I could not work and the cost of prosthetics and rehab are out of this world. I don’t know what I would have done without him.
My brother ended up paralyzed after a car accident and Lalande did SO MUCH to help get things straight from him getting out of the hospital to all his care for life. We are so grateful for Matt & Heather. I don’t know how my family could have done this without them.
