Why bring our Toronto bicycle accident lawyers onto your claim
Do all these road warriors know what to do if they’re injured? Our Toronto bicycle accident lawyers do and have the experience with these cases to say while cyclists don’t need a license or insurance to ride, that doesn’t mean you can’t be compensated if you are injured. We understand how the system works: under Ontario law, a cyclist can both claim mandatory insurance benefits and sue the at-fault driver.
Verkhovets Law, Toronto bicycle accident lawyers, realize there are some bicycle accident victims who think they can’t sue because they weren’t wearing a helmet. That doesn’t bar you from suing, but it does relate to contributory negligence. While it’s the law for those under 18 to wear a bicycle helmet, it’s a good idea for all riders to wear one, too.
