Has there been a case in the UK where blame has been shifted in part or in whole onto the cycling party in a collision on the bsais that he/she was not wearing a helmet?
I ask in ignorance, not to prove a point. I shall be very happy to read of several cases where this has happened. I have never heard of one.
In all the cases involving riding on the road the Courts have not found a cyclist to blame for not wearing a helmet although the precedent is set that they could be if the defendant could prove it would have made a difference. There has been one case where damages were reduced because the cyclist was not wearing a helmet but that was in a competitive race at a company away-day, not riding on the road with traffic.
