In most cases, the at-fault party is responsible for damages, medical bills, and other losses.<\/span><\/p>\n If a driver hits a cyclist because they failed to yield, ran a stop sign, or were distracted, the driver is usually liable. However, cyclists can also share liability if they break traffic rules, such as running a red light or riding against traffic. Arizona follows a <\/span>comparative fault system<\/b>, which means compensation may be reduced by the cyclist\u2019s percentage of fault.<\/span><\/p>\n Bicycle accidents occur in many situations.

In these cases, liability may extend to the city or property owner responsible for maintaining safe roads.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes, bicycle accidents involve multiple cyclists.
