Golden Valley, MN personal injury attorney Michael Bryant talks about Minnesota law in regards to bicycle accidents. He points out that he finds bicycle accidents in Minnesota particularly interesting because there’s a statute requiring cars to give adequate room when passing a bicycle. That statute is somewhat hidden in the state laws, so many lawyers are unaware of it and often overlook it.

In numerous cases, defendants initially deny liability or claim they weren’t at fault. However, due to his experience, his familiarity with the legislation, and his extensive work representing bicyclists, he is often able to demonstrate that his clients bear no fault in the collision, making a significant difference in the outcome.
