****If You've Been Hit By A Motor Vehicle: ALL MEMBERS READ****

Re: Closed Thread of same name.

Actually shouldn't this pertain to all accidents and injuries involving mulitple parties?

Liability issues are not restricted to just motor vehicles.

The wise person makes sure information is either kept general, or not publicly disseminated until associated legal procedures are concluded.

While the original intention of the title of the thread pertains to accident involving cyclist, it actually can refer to all kinds of accidents.

Your right, we have had a rash of cyclist hit by pedestrians lately. And all the motorist hit by other motorist that are posting in Bikeforums about their collision.

We monitor the forum, and if someone is in an auto accident or is walking along and is mowed down by another pedestrian, we make sure they realize that lawyers look for a discussion of accidents on forums and use them to their client's benefit. On this cycling forum this almost always pertains to cyclists being hit by motorists, so we have a sticky trying to make sure cyclists know not to post too many details.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Hawkowl, I know I'm posting into a closed thread. Actually, I have edited the sticky thread to reflect what you pointed out. Yes, it was focused more to our membership's primary activity associated with the forums, but you are right, limit disclosure any time.
