After a bike accident in Massachusetts, you can be compensated for your medical bills through the auto policy of the person who hit you. You can also be compensated for lost wages, compensated for the bicycle, bicycle helmet, if you had bike gloves and they needed to be repaired, you could get compensated for your glasses. So, compensation can come in a number of forms, not just medical.

So, one of the other things that can be compensated for after a bicycle accident, pain and suffering. Pain and suffering has a value. Pain and suffering can encompass anything from anxiety when riding down the same road to PTSD. Counseling can sometimes be needed, and that is also compensable. That is part of pain and suffering. That’s part of emotional distress.
