Who Can I Hold Responsible for a Bicycle Accident?

In a bicycle accident, you might hold several parties responsible, depending on what caused the accident. If a driver hit you, for example, they could be responsible. This is especially true if they were driving carelessly, texting behind the wheel, or even speeding. If a problem with the road caused the accident, such as the presence of a huge pothole, the city or agency responsible for road maintenance might be at fault. Sometimes, if a bike part failed and caused the crash, the manufacturer could bear some degree of responsibility. The best way to find out exactly who's responsible for the accident is by contacting a bicycle accident specialist from Morgan and Morgan.
