Many Ontarians are hurt in bike accidents each year, and collisions between cars and bicycles are a common cause of injuries. Mishaps can be avoided, however, by adhering to road safety practices such as using hand signals and obeying road signs. In addition, wearing a helmet is important and can lessen the severity of a cyclist’s injuries and even save their life in the event of an accident.

In any personal injury case, there’s the claimant (the person injured), and the defendant (the person or entity responsible for those injuries). In many instances, the defendant will use a defence of contributory negligence in an attempt to avoid having to compensate, in part or in full, the claimant for their injuries. Contributory negligence is applicable when the claimant is found to have contributed to their injury in some way. Since courts may split liability between both parties, it’s important for claimants to work with a personal injury lawyer who can act as an advocate on their behalf and fight for their right to receive maximum compensation.
