This is a sticky situation, My Grand-daughter was riding on a bike and the brakes went out on bike, she was 8 months, pregnat, Now I know she shouldn't been riding on a bike anyway.Her and another girl was on the bike, she rode the bike down a steep hill, the other girl on the bike, jumpped off the bike, but she couldn't stop the bike, the bike went strait to the middle of street while cars were coming she could not stop the bike, she cause a 3 car accident, now she couldn't help it that the brakes went out, are those people responsible for the accident, and they had Insurance, mind you, a life was lost the baby girl, they rust her to the hosipital to say the baby, they had to preform Ce-section on her, the baby was alive when she came out but the baby couldn't take all that trama. My grand-daughter lost her. My Grand-daughter is in Intensive care, I think she will be ok, she is going in and out, because of Medications. God spared my Grand-daughter, we need to bury the baby, do you think the Ins Co, will take care of the expensive, a life was lost? when you have Ins, they usually cover cost don't they, I don't know what to do can I get someones opinion on this. Thank you in advance. So was so pretty the baby was full grown. I am very sadden by this poor little baby. I am still crying! My grand daughter has to get a cat Scan. her face is all mess up but at she still has her life. I am just thinking about closure for the baby. No Ins we have.

Thank you I am really hurting inside, And I know God will give me strength and her and her Mother. I feel so bad because earlier when I came home from church, I whent by her house, I was against her having the baby anyway at a young age. I told her she disgust me, and I didn't want to talk to her, now I am really feeling bad, the way I talked to her, and she just lost her baby, this was before she lost the baby. when I went to hospital, she didn't want to talk to me at all. Thank you for listening. Have a good week.

Sorry for the loss of your great-grandaughter, and the accidenjt with your grandaughter, and will be Praying for the Best to come from this.
As for Insurance, etc. I would think it would be determined by who's fault the accident is blamed on, etc. but you never know. Maybe this will be a case for a Lawyer to decide on.
Wishing you all the best.

Marcia im so so sorry to hear of the lost of your grandbaby and your injuries of your grandaughter.I just cant imagine this.I know you are in pain.The baby is an angel and she is in heaven remember that.I hope your grandaughter recovers well.I will pray for you all.Far as the insurance i really dont know the answer.I hope that you will be able to have the expense taken care of.My cousin did not have insurance on her father so she got assistance from social service.it wasnt that much but i think it helped her out.I dont know where she is she runs the street so much so i cant get in contact with her to ask.

I am so terribly sad for your family s lose. I will kep you in my heart!
I don't know how medical insurance works in the USA only how it works in Australia and I know they are very different. I can only imagine the guilt facing your grand daughter and her lose. due to what was probabaly an innocent ride with no unforeseen complications.
I think the best thing to do is proceed with the arrangements for your great grand child s burial and deal with the legalities after the fact. The child s parents are going to need so much support from family and friends and professionally help to pull through this. God bless you family....I so hope you all find a way past this terrible lose. xxx Please keep me up to date on how everyone is doing. Danielle

I am so sorry about your loss and your granddaughter's loss. It is not clear to me if your granddaughter has health insurance. If she does then they should cover whatever coverage your granddaughter has. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.
All I can say about the insurance, is that when a bike is ridden on a road, it is considered a vehicle. The driver of the bike is responsible to obeying all traffic laws, etc. If your vehicle's brakes go out and you hit someone, it is considered your fault because you should have kept up maintenance on your car. I'm afraid they may rule it this way.

Oh that is awful, I feel so bad for you. I am sorry.
I am not sure who should cover the costs of this. Your post is unclear if your granddaughter had insurance.
I know of no one who had had such a situation of even close.

Sorry for your loss, marcia. I can't imagine the pain you are going through, it's so tragic. Your grand daughter almost lost her life too. I know it's too late, but the insurance company may take into consideration that your grand daughter was careless in the beginning, 8 months pregnant and went out riding a bike down a steep hill. Insurance company always conducts investigation on every claim and it won't be easy to get money of them. I hope your grand daughter recover soon.

I am so sorry to for this tragic accident that took your great grandaughters life. I am ast a loss fro words right now its its so sad. I am not sure about the insurance but if three cars were involved I would think that some ones insurance will cover all of the expenses. If not then if I were you you could ask local stores and businesses to put a donation jar next to their registar to help cover these expenses or local churches to host some sort of benefit to help raise the money needed to put closure on this. Good luck and May God Bless you and your family.

it all depend on the insurance co. you would have to talk to them some people do see an unborn child as a person that should be covered under insurance its sad but true. then their are those that will compromise and say that after a certain time they are consdered human and deserve to be treated as one i say they are human from the start and the rest of the world needs to see it that way too just talk to your insurance company and find out where they stand on it you won't know til you ask

The baby was born, It lived for a few mins, and then the heart stopped. they baby was fully developed, She looked like she was sleeping. It is 7:00 am, I couldn't sleep I am going to he hospital,and to talked to my daughter, and see how my Grand-daughter is doing, this is a hard pill to swallow.anohter thing they took my Grand-daughter to the hospital, and if they had of took her to a closer hospital, maybe the baby would of still been alive, who knows. I will be back later.

I am so sorry to hear this, and I am sorry for the loss of your great granddaughter, and I feel for you and the babys mother. I am not sure on the insurance, that is something you would have to find out about. I know there are so many things that can come up, and I would probably contact an attorney. I hope that your grand daughter is ok after the accident and losing her child. That is horrible!

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Your granddaughter is very young and unfortunately young people do not think about the consequences of their actions. As adults we know not to do certain things and it makes sense for us because we can see the big picture. An adult knows they should not ride a bike being 8 months pregnant because of the possible consequences. But for a young child or a teenager they do not think clearly they just aren't at that developmental stage.
As far as insurance goes unless she was hit by one of the cars I doubt they would pay for anything. I'm assuming your granddaughter has health insurance through her parent coverage but burial insurance is another issue.

wow i am so sorry. I have lost a daughter myself. She was 7 years old.It was just 3 years ago. THis we also from a bike accident. I am not sure about the insurance you will have to try and see. Some car insurance will pay some stuff. ONe my son was hit by a car last year and beacuse it was from car it fell on the car insurance. Other insurance would not pay for it cuss of that. I hope your grandaughter will be ok. Just be there for her and it be ok. just take one day at a time.

My prayers have gone out to your great grand daughter and her lost baby. I am so sorry for your loss. That is so sad! I don't know on the insurance question. That is definitely a tricky one. Not sure if that would normally fall under home insurance or if because she wasn't in a vehicle if that would fall under the car insurance of one of the cars. Good luck though! I hope everything works out and my heart aches for your family.
