I had no lights no helmet and no jacket. But he hit me from the side while I was going straight and I have multiple injures. I don't have the garda report yet
A:
I'm sorry about your accident, and I hope you are recovering from your injuries. If you consult with an attorney, they could outline for you your rights here, how quickly you need to move to preserve benefits and provide of notices of claim (depending on your jurisdiction and other facts), how some of the issues you mention will affect the ultimate determination of liability, and what measures you need to immediately take in terms of preserving your rights to the reimbursement of medical expenses. Many attorneys in these types of cases offer free initial consultations. Good luck.
