In bicycle accidents, fault depends on negligence and state law. Most often, drivers cause crashes by failing to yield, speeding, or dooring. However, pedalcyclists also have to follow traffic laws and can be found at fault if they don’t. Evidence like witness statements, photos, and video footage helps establish liability.
Some states use no-fault systems, which require basic insurance payouts no matter who’s responsible (e.g., PIP). Still, this coverage is limited. We pursue full compensation for all bicycle accident victims. Contact us to assess fault and its impact on your case at no cost.
