1. medical expense. Majority of this goes to your health insurance because they paid for most of your medical expense. You can get your copay and deductible reembursed.
2. lost income. for days you and your husband take days off work to see doctors and treatments.
3. pain and suffering. For minor injury, it is 3 to 5 times the medical expense.
4. lost of consortium, this means deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship due to injuries. You said "夏天的计划全部泡汤" your husband can ask for damages for canceled vacation plan etc.
B. How you ask for damages
Best chance to get your money is to talk to the home owner insurnace of the dog owner. Insurance company will always pay out money when it is legally reasonable. Talk to the dog owner and ask for their home owner insurance (or renter's insurance if they rent).
C. About engaging a lawyer.
Any money you got (1) lawyer takes 1/3, (2) reemburse health insurance for their payment to your medical bills. So let's say your medical bill is $10K, and you ask for pain and suffering of $50K, that's totally $60K. But insurance company probably will haggle down to $30K. Then your lawyer takes 1/3, (10K) your health insurance company has to get their $10K medical bill, and you'll leave with $10K left over.
However, if the insurance company only pays you 20K, your lawyer takes 1/3, ($6.66K), your insurance takes $10k (medical bill), you'll be left only $3.33K. That's not ideal.
Just keep this in mind when you get a lawyer and keep the expectation in line.
4周前骑单车在马路路肩上,路边一家人house, 听见身后狗叫,回头一看,一大一小两只狗从她家的driveway冲上马路直奔向我,女主人站在路边大呼叫狗。我赶紧加速,很快被大狗追上,担心被狗咬惊惶失措从车上重重摔下来,扒在路肩上面向下。随后听见我先生问我哪里出血了,因为他见到血。我头脑清醒,多处疼痛,左手不能动弹,被救护车送去了ER.
我从未骨折过,身体健康,夏天骑单车同样路线每周至少四次多年,没有经历过任何意外。
左手二处骨折一处脱位,前额缝了两针,右手掌和右前臂擦伤,左右腿yu血。右手没有骨折,但是很严重擦伤和摔伤,穿裤子都要人帮忙,胸部摔伤,咳嗽喷嚏引起疼痛。ER捆绑了左臂,让我回家联系orthopedic.
我的医疗保险全包,夏天我不工作,只是每周一两天去食物银行做义工,夏天是我最喜欢的季节,出行计划和户外活动,打理花园,每天都很享受很忙。
从没有经历过,当时没有叫警察,路上不少车停下来询问帮助我。乐观想很快会恢复,医疗保险全包,也就不打算找那家人麻烦。对方当时只向我先生道歉。
由于种种原因,差不多三周后才做手术,疼痛艰熬的日子,无法开车出门,只能用一只手,夏天的计划全部泡汤,手术只是恢复的开始。医生说手术大概一小时,最终我手术花了两个多小时。看到灿烂的阳光,我的心情一天比一天坏,不知道哪天才能完全恢复。
因此,如果我找那家人赔偿损失,能要求哪些赔偿?我现在举棋不定。
谢谢!

您的情況需要找當地處理個人傷害的律師來評估。(下面回答,不是指責您,是從另外第三方的角度進行分析)
因為,在您的描述中,您提到下列的情況,
回头一看,一大一小两只狗从她家的driveway冲上马路直奔向我,女主人站在路边大呼叫狗。我赶紧加速,很快被大狗追上,担心被狗咬惊惶失措从车上重重摔下来
現在的問題是
(A) 因為狗的領域觀念與人的認知不同,所以這隻狗的行為 (從 drive way 追出是屬於天性),問題是,兩隻狗並沒有攻擊你,如果任何一隻狗咬了您,那麼就是對方的問題。
(B)同時,您的傷害,直接起因不是來自於狗的攻擊,而是來自於您自身對於狗的恐懼。所以,從事件直接肇因的角度來說,您個人操控自行車失當,是您摔傷的主因。如果對方家中對於車道有監控,那麼,如果對方提出足夠的視頻,能夠證明,整個事故的發生,您的驚惶與操作自行車失當,是主因,那麼,你恐怕沒有一個好的案件。
(C) 您的另外的一個問題是,您的傷害有醫保全部包括,而您在署假期間,沒有收入損失的問題,所以您能打得部分就是, Pain and Suffering,但是,如上面所言,對方並不是完全造成您摔傷的主因,因此依據比例原則,最多是 50-50 的情況,良心說,能否有一個合理的陪償,老貓相當懷疑。
其實,遇到如您的情況,最好的應變方式是,停車,然後下車用自行車作為盾牌,擋在你與狗隻之間,等主人來處理。驚慌與逃跑只是增加自身受傷的風險。
我想大多数人对向自己冲来的陌生狗都会表现出恐惧。如果以狗是否咬人做为判断谁的过失,感觉不合理,我个人看法,没有冒犯您专业认知的意思。
您的建议:下车用自行车做盾牌,也是我事后想到的应对方法。或者,装作若无其事,不加減车速,不与狗进行眼光交流,一切听天由命。
总之,谢谢您长期为网友提供免费法律意见!
有律师保险赔三十万,到手十万。没律师如果保险赔二十万,到手还是十万。
我的意思就是让楼主想清楚,不要因为没律师赔的少就觉得亏了。自己出面谈,谈判的时候告诉保险公司,你们省了1/3,就别再臭美了,当心我去找律师,你们要多陪1/3.
您的傷害,主要是在於您於驚恐的狀態下,自行摔倒所致。特別是您提到,事發當時,狗主已經出聲警告,企圖阻止狗狗迫近您。所以,狗主乎略其自身的責任的部分,並不是特別明顯,您可以爭議的問題是,在您所在的地區是否有法律要求全部或是特定品種的狗狗,一旦離開主人的房子,就必須繫繩或是戴口罩的規定。如果有,那麼您就有可以爭議的論點。
至於醫藥費,如果您是保險公司全額給付,那麼,老貓會建議您不要立即提出訴訟,而是等追訴期期滿之前再提出訴訟,因為,之後的後續療程,如果有保險公司不給付的部分,您就可以要求狗主本人或是他所用的房屋保險來支付。
就是一口,2)主人冲过来制止了狗,3)我在家门口,立即进房冲洗,4)给家庭医生打电话,5,给队友打电话立即回家
这是一只坏狗,小狗抱来就这么坏,后来邻居有小孩后,把狗给了父亲
后来我自己养狗,有一次,队友抱着娃出门的瞬间,对面一个老先生牵着一只小狗走过,我家狗冲出去,老先生蹲下用身体护住小狗,我追出去道歉牵住狗,老先生看着我说,他会写信报告HOA,然后我就收到了一份警告信
