Drivers owe a duty of care to cyclists

Drivers owe a duty of care to cyclists – they have an obligation to drive safely and avoid dangerous driving behaviour that could endanger anyone else on the road, including people on bikes. If you, the bicyclist, has suffered an injury as a result of a negligent action by a driver then you could be entitled to damages.

Some common types of negligence include:

Drifting into a bike lane and hitting the cyclist
Turning without checking mirrors and hitting the cyclist
Opening a door without looking and hitting a cyclist riding past
Tailgating a cyclist, causing the cyclist to lose control and crash
