This week I was in an accident (on my birthday). I was riding my bike in the bike lane on the right side of the road; the driver was making a turn, didn't see me, and hit me and my bike. My bike's totaled, but overall I'm alright except for roadburn, mostly along the right side of my body. It's painful and not pretty, so I'm not going to dance until it heals.
Can I get financial compensation for the income I'm losing? The driver has insurance and is the only one at fault. After the accident the police and fire department came, wrote a report, and gave me his information on a card. I'm not sure how things like this work, or if being an independent contractor as opposed to a full time employee will affect things. I don't really expect the insurance company to make up for everything I would have made dancing, but every little bit helps. I'd love any advice anyone here can offer. I'm calling the driver's insurance company on Monday.
