Encinitas, CA personal injury attorney Jeffrey Padilla talks about what you should do if someone hits you on your E-bike. Much like in any accident, it is essential for individuals to gather as much information as possible at the scene if they are capable. This includes taking photographs and obtaining details about the other driver and their vehicle. It is also important for them to remember that they have the protection of their own insurance policy if they own a car and have an auto policy with bodily injury coverage for uninsured or underinsured motorists. This coverage can provide protection in cases of hit-and-run incidents or if the other driver is uninsured or has minimal insurance. Many people do not realize they can rely on this coverage even if they are riding a bicycle or using an e-bike.
