Frequently Asked Questions

 


Q: Can I recover even if the motorist never hit me but caused me to have an accident?

A: Yes, many people are under the impression that there has to be physical contact between the bicyclist and motor vehicle for the motorist to be liable.  This is not true.  There are many situations were a cyclist can be injured as to where they have taken evasive action to avoid being hit and crashed as a result.  The motorist can still be held liable if negligence can be proved.  This is much more difficult than if there was contact, however, it can be accomplished if there are witnesses and evidence can be preserved.
