In this video, Sevenish Law answers the question: If I wasn’t wearing a helmet during my accident, can I still file an insurance claim or sue if I must? Yes. Even if you were required by law to wear a helmet, not wearing one does not take away your rights completely. However, if you were required to wear one and you suffered head injuries in your accident, you may not recover as much money as you otherwise could have. An insurance claims adjuster or jury may decide that you are partially responsible for the injury and reduce your settlement or verdict by the amount of fault you bear.
