Dog versus cyclist :(

[Jiffer]

What a horrible experience and I can't believe how that dog owner handled it.

A lawyer named Gary Brustin spoke at our club meeting recently. He is a cyclist and all he does now are cycling related cases. His website says he is a California bicycle accident attorney, but he handles cases in other states through associate counsel. He will discuss the details of the case and bike laws, explain procedures, and advise you of your rights.

Here's a link to his site if you are interested. http://bicyclelawyer.com/

I'm not a "sue happy" person either, but would at least look into my rights and the rights of the dog owner if I were you.

Hope you heal quickly and are back in the saddle soon!

He's actually handled a similar case. the dog ran out , cylclist crashed, but the owner demanded the cyclists identify the dog via a police lineup the Judge had other ideas
Your insurance will be looking to get their money back, but you may have to pay them from the settlement (which I've been advised will happen when(iF) I ever settle(I have Anthem BC))
