Proving Liability in a Bicycle Accident

New Jersey liability laws require an injury victim to prove the at-fault party was liable. If your bicycle accident occurred because of the actions of an at-fault driver, your attorney can address the legal points of liability with evidence-backed proof of the following:

• The driver owed you and others on the road a duty of care to follow traffic laws, avoid distractions, and take other reasonable measures to keep you and others on the road safe
• The driver breached this duty of care by acting in a negligent manner or by driving recklessly
• The breach directly caused your injury
• Your injury caused you to suffer real economic damages as well as other damages such as pain and suffering

Once your case meets the points of showing legal liability on the part of the person who caused your accident, an attorney from the Egg Harbor Township firm of Grungo Law can review your case to claim the maximum compensation for your damages.
