Cyclist

City streets are very busy these days leaving little room for cars and cyclists to interact and share the roadways.

If drivers do not follow the rules of the road, the law requires they pay for the harm they cause. Drivers regularly break the rules by:

• Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Failing to stop before turning right on red at an intersection
• Driving without the proper care and attention
• Failing to observe posted speed limits
• Disregarding weather or traffic conditions
• Failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign
• Disobeying traffic signals

Here are some examples of trial awards Slater Vecchio has achieved for our clients in cases involving cyclists:

• Aberdeen v. Township of Langley, 2007 BCSC 993
• Sammartino v. Hiebert, 1996 BCSC, B822857
