    Sometimes, as in this case, large institutions are at fault when bicycle accidents occur. As a Los Angeles bicycle accident attorney, I am familiar with this process.

    ok, so who was riding the bicycle? was not the gate which was down. the gate does not have eyes, but i bet the cyclists does. so, i have a problem, who was actually in the wrong? i think the jury has got this wrong and she just wanted someone else to pay for her medical bills because she did not have money. i am sorry for her pain, but like any other vehicle, you are supposed to keep your eyes on the road. you possibly weren’t distracted while riding the bike, for example, texting?

    So, if I’m in Connecticut, and I’m on a treadmill, and I hit the “stone wall”, during my exercise, I can sue the treadmill and win?
    Sure beats trying the win Powerball, I’m moving back to Connecticut.

    I’m sure, based on the award, the gate must have jumped out and hit her. Surely, CT jurors aren’t that stupid, are they?

    You can’t text while you are riding a bicycle, knucklehead! Maybe the cyclist had ridden this trail every day and then one day, there is a gate where there was there wasn’t one previously. Maybe the gate was at a blind curve or at the bottom of a hill. Maybe the trail is paved, enabling the cyclist to get going pretty fast. This article gave no details on the placement or history of this trail or the gate yet everyone knows the right answer without know one real fact.

    While I very much enjoy IJ’s online articles, I often find myself scratching my head wondering about key facts that are missing from the story. In this story I wonder: why didshe run into the gate? What made her case compelling enough to win? Now I have to go to someother news source to find out.

    Duh, you are correct – the theme of many posts (always anonymous) is that everyone else is an idiot, and that the poster alone is capable of great wisdom and insight. It’s getting quite irritating and tiresome.
