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.
Verkhovets Law, Toronto bicycle accident lawyers say that no matter how safely you ride your bicycle, every time you hit the road, you take the risk of getting injured in an accident. Even though riders have the rights on the road, it’s not classified information that the cyclist is exposed. Then you mix in the increasing numbers of bicycles sharing the road, and it’s a recipe for encountering the many factors that result in these accidents.

Verkhovets Law, Toronto bicycle accident lawyers know that cyclists – due to the sensitive nature of the activity and the poor attitudes of drivers sharing the road – are at high risk of having an accident and experiencing a wide range of injuries. Often, that means money out of your pocket, either directly paying for care or from not being able to work. You may be entitled to compensation for those losses.
Verkhovets Law, Toronto bicycle accident lawyers, note if the accident claim is denied the injured cyclist can appeal the denial to the License Appeal Tribunal (the LAT).
