Pennsylvania is a Fault-Based Bicycle Accident State
Pennsylvania applies a fault-based liability standard to bicycle accident claims. An injured cyclist must prove that another party acted negligently and caused the crash. Motorists owe bicyclists the same duty of reasonable care owed to other roadway users. Violations such as unsafe passing, failure to yield, distracted driving, or opening a vehicle door into a cyclist’s path often establish breach of duty. Evidence is key. Every bicycle accident should be thoroughly investigated by an experienced attorney.
Pennsylvania also follows a modified comparative negligence rule. A cyclist may recover damages only if their share of fault does not exceed 50 percent. Any percentage of fault attributed to the cyclist reduces recoverable damages proportionally. Insurers routinely argue comparative negligence by pointing to lane position, visibility, lack of helmet use, or other factors. If you are assigned even a small percentage of fault for your own accident, that could impact the outcome.
