Can I sue a biker to recover my medical costs, lost wages and pain and suffering?
A driver hit and injured me while I was riding my bike without wearing a helmet. Can I still file a personal injury insurance claim?
Usually, yes. North Carolina law only requires bicycle helmets for children younger than 16 years of age, and that law also explains that failure to make a kid use a bike helmet is not considered negligence for insurance purposes.
