The Rights of Injured Riders
By law, bicycle riders have the same rights and responsibilities as automobile drivers. However, even the most attentive and vigilant bike rider can fall victim to another's negligence.
When preventable accidents occur, injured riders have a right to file a claim against the at-fault party to recover damages for medical bills, lost work wages and future earnings, pain and suffering, and more.
