Liability in Bike Accident Cases
If you were involved in an accident, you may wonder, "Can I recover if it was partly my fault?" or "Is a driver liable for my injuries if I was on the wrong side of the road?" Every accident case is different. Common types of collisions that a cyclist may be injured include:
- A motor vehicle driver turning directly in front of the bicyclist;
- An automobile driver entering the street from a driveway or parking spot and pulling out into traffic in front of the bicyclist;
- A motorist's failure to yield at an intersection or running a stop sign or red light;
- A vehicle driver's inattention while driving past the bicyclist;
- An automobile driver's failure to look both ways when resuming traveling after stopping at a stop sign; and
- A vehicle driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
It is important to remember that you always have rights. Even if you were at fault, there may be other sources of recovery, including your own insurance carrier to cover your expenses. Our Vermont bike accident lawyers will sit down with you to review the facts, identify your options and pursue every available source of recovery on your behalf.
