WHOOPS! Mountain Bikers Hits Hiker, Fractures His Ankle
http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/wh...e-1165650.html
Asked 19 days ago - Irvine, CA (That would be approx March 21, 2013) While mountain biking in a state park I hit a hiker. Initially he thought it was sprained ankle. found to be fracture. have notified my Homeowners policy. The injured told me he had a high deductible and asked if we could discuss this. I told him yes, he said soft cast for 2 weeks and hard cast 4-6weeks. My feeling is that if deductible is less than or equal to $2,500.00 I should just pay. If so what kind of doc is used to prevent later claims? What would be your advice regarding this whole situation?

Be careful here. If you don't get a full and complete and enforceable release from him, it may not be effective. Then, if you want to turn it over to your insurance later, your efforts to "settle on your own" may affect coverage. |
