Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue if a pothole caused my crash?
Maybe, but claims against governments often have special notice and immunity hurdles. Private property defects may create a different path—ask counsel quickly.
Does my auto insurance help if I was on a bike?
Sometimes UM/UIM or MedPay from an auto policy may apply depending on wording and whether you owned a qualifying policy. Coverage analysis is fact-specific.
