Whoever got hit: get a lawyer and go for it! You could get a lot of $ if you play your cards right. That’s what insurance is for!

Yes and no. I was rear ended at a red light 2 years ago… luckily he has 100k policy payout, it goes a little something like this. Attorney gets 33%off the top doctors and medical bills and liens get paid off and we the victims get the crumbs that are left. If he only had 25/50 the medical bills would have eaten that alone. Insurance is a huge scam.

Yep. Ten years after getting run over and spending a few weeks in the ICU, my husband ended up with $1,300 as his share of the settlement.

Unfortunately, there’s no law requiring cyclists to have insurance. And if there was, they’d probably ignore it just like they ignore every single other road-related rule.

Don’t automatically assume the driver was at fault. Bicyclists are to follow the rules of the road also. Time after time see bicyclists run stop signs.

If he was dumb enough to not be wearing a helmet, then chances are….

Was the driver who struck the bicyclist wearing his/her seatbelt?

If the bicycle was of a suitable size for the rider, it was likely an accident or the motorists fault.

If the bicycle was a very small bmx style bicycle being ridden on the road, it was likely the fault of the cyclist.

true story.
