Thread started by buckchin at 09.23.09 - 3:46 pm

i was wondering if you have the lawyers numbers you used with your hit and run. i was riding to work this morning and car door swung open hitting me making me fly off my bike. i broke my arm and rib.

reply


they said i need sugery. i dont have insurance and think it is lame i have to go to county and wait 8 hours for help. if anyone else has advice it would help

First, that sucks... but, on another note...

seriously... im interested in knowing whether or not this kind of incident is even the drivers fault?

I space my distance from parked cars... so that (hopefully) this wont occur.

What is the ruling on these incidents? I tend to think its the cyclists fault, unless their is some intention to hurt the cyclist.

Anyone have experience with pursuing this issue?

(sorry... i guess it is like crack, but i beat the habit... and im actually really interested in this post)

i know in some counties you can get ticketed for almost being doored. so then i assume the liability is with the driver if you really do get hit.

i was spaced far from the cars. it was a mustang 2 door. very long doors. and it still only caught the side of my handle bars. the cop said he was putting it down as her fault.

If you got their information first talk it out with the person to cover your medical bill and so forth if not then call their insurance company and make a claim they will reimburse you for the cost of the medical bills and your loss of bike(must have receipt for the most part) and days you missed of work ive had this happen 3 times first the lady bought me a new bike and medical not the days i missed of work second time the insurance cover my days off work and paid my medical bill and got my bike repaird and 3rd time insurance didnt do shit the lady actualyl paid my medical bill but no bikes:((( but i did file a report at the dmv and she got point on her record(insurance told me to do it to see if its possible to allow the claim)

it is the driver's responsibility to check for cars coming before swinging the door open.

dooring is absolutely never your fault.

unless you wait for it.

do not talk to anyone until you get a lawyer.

According to both of their websites, they'll give you a free consultation.

One of the first things they will want to know is how bad were you hurt and did you get any information on the vehicle that hit you. They lack of either of these will pretty much determine the value of your case and the length of your free consultation.

Hopefully you have their information (license plates, driver's license #, name, make/model of vehicle, insurance policy #). Like, Sexy said, if you don't have the time or patience to deal with asshole insurance adjusters, an attorney will deal with them for you, but they will take a cut.

Start keeping track of all your damages, both physical injuries and property damage. Take pictures of your injuries and any damage to the bike. Get an estimate from a bike shop for the repairs to the bike. Keep all your receipts for medications, even over the counter stuff. Keep track of any doctor's visits. Insurance adjusters will want to see all of these records. Think of them like poker chips because they are definitely worth something and make the value of your settlement higher."

call her insurance and make a claim stating what happend they should cover you for the medical bills and repair of bike like it was a vehicle accident but about the days off work im not sure you have to fight that with the insurance because cop said it was her fault and hes a witness(im guessing) you should be good

well in a way, good for you...

i just though because I know two instances where a vehicle was doored (?) and the driver or vehicle that hit the door was responsible. (maybe its case by case)... never looked into it... and i guess i just thought the same about cyclist.

anyhow, good luck...

The person opening the door is responsible for where the door goes, they are entering traffic. If they got their door hit by a car or a bike, they are responsible for the damage.

Talk to a lawyer, and if you deal with the insurance company yourself, don't take any low ball offers to buy you off. They will often quickly try to wrap up the case with a few hundred dollars before you really get a chance to know what damage has been done to your body.

Sorry for the hijack,

but were you riding in a bike lane? I am curious because bike lanes to me seem seriously flawed. I am sorry this happened to you and hope you get well soon.

Traffic has the right of way over parked cars. Bicycles are considered traffic in California. When exiting or entering a parked car, the driver in the parked car has the obligation to make sure that their actions will not affect the flow of traffic on the street.

Lawyers take a lot, get one if the insurance company won't give you what you need, if you don't know much about law and aren't feeling proactive get the lawyer first.

Getting doored sucks ... I got kinda lucky I didn't break anything and luckily someone was behind me when it happened ... but you should report this 4sure. Hope you get well...
