The other insurance company contacted me and asked for my medical records. Should I send them?
Before you send your medical records to the insurance company, consult your personal injury lawyer in Cyprus. Sometimes, insurance companies will try to use your medical records against you by stating that you had a pre-existing condition and that they shouldn’t have to pay for it. You do not want to do anything that could damage your chances of recovering monetary damages for your injuries and your losses. Do not sign anything.

Do drivers have a duty toward motorcycle riders?
Under Cyprus Law, there is a concept called contributory negligence. This means that in motorcycle accidents and other accidents in Cyprus, the court will look at both parties to determine just how much fault each party had for causing the accident. If, for instance, you were found to be 30 percent at fault, you could be entitled to recover no more than 70 percent of your damages.
Despite this, it is crucial for you to avoid taking blame right after the accident. It’s best not to jump to conclusions – proper investigation may later reveal that someone else was largely or wholly responsible for your injuries.
More importantly, avoid speaking to insurance adjusters and representatives, as they could use your statements to undermine your claim. Even saying “I’m sorry” could be taken as an admission of your fault. Instead, contact Rotsides & Co right away to speak for you.
