When it comes to bikes you probably know a lot but how much do you know about liability if you are involved in an accident when you’re cycling?
In short ‘liability’ essentially means who is responsible for any damage and/or injury.
Under current laws, a person injured must prove that the other person was actually responsible for the accident that caused their damage and/or injury.
Unfortunately proving liability isn’t always straightforward in many cycling related accidents.
For example, while you may think a driver was at fault that may not be their opinion.
So after an accident it’s important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible and as a member of Bicycle NSW that is really easy with our new partner, Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers.
