Who Besides the Driver Could Be Responsible for a Bicycle Crash?

Responsibility depends on what caused the crash. A negligent driver is often involved, but that is not the only possibility. Depending on the facts, a commercial driver or employer, a rideshare or delivery driver, a vehicle owner, a property owner, a bicycle or component manufacturer, or a government entity in certain roadway cases could be involved.

More than one person or organization may share responsibility. A careful investigation looks beyond the most obvious explanation.
