Unfortunately, riding bicycles in a congested city like Honolulu can be very hazardous. Bicyclists need to know and to follow basic safety rules of the road, which include:
- Wearing a helmet
- Obeying all traffic control signals
- Using hand signals to alert drivers to turns and lane changes
- Staying alert to all roadway conditions
- Using lights and reflectors after dark.
Likewise, motorists need to respect the rights of bicyclists and to watch out for their safety at all times. One mistake or moment of carelessness can be devastating.
I have represented bicyclists injured in motor vehicle accidents for three decades. In a recent case, which settled confidentially, a forty-three year old man was struck by a tour bus and suffered injury to his spine. The settlement was for $3.95 million.
