I found this little bit of information on Findlaw.com regarding bicycle related accidents. Its an interesting read and be careful while riding. The best advise I was ever given was don't assume drivers see you. When possible, at intersections, always try to make eye contact with drivers. Read the entire article here ...
"Particularly when they involve an automobile, bicycle accidents can
result in serious and sometimes fatal injuries. Lawsuits to recover
damages for injuries in bicycle accidents with automobiles involve many
of the same issues as any auto accident lawsuit. As with other vehicle
accidents, liability for bike accident injuries often comes down to
negligence – particularly whether the automobile driver's negligence
caused the cyclist's injuries, and whether any negligence by the
cyclist caused or contributed to the cause of the accident"
That's solid advice for bikers, especially those who haven't been behind the wheel of a car. A car accident lawyer orlando once told me about how many more cycling accidents occurred over the last few years.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think bikers should not assume that driver's see them. Responsible driving in the road is very important.
