There are a few things you need to know to protect your legal rights in a bike crash. If you are in a crash with a car, do not leave the scene without:
Even in cases where cyclists are badly hurt, the police have not always identified the vehicle or driver involved. The ambulance personnel will not include this information in their report – you must make sure the information gets recorded by the police. If it is a hit and run, you need to file a police report as soon as you are able.
The Bicycle Coalition is often asked to put members in touch with lawyers. While we do not endorse any particular lawyer, Stuart Leon has been a sponsor of Bike Freedom Valley for several years and we provide his contact information here as a convenience to our members.
