Cyclists can get advice to navigate complicated legal roads

Toronto critical injury lawyer Patrick Brown has partnered with Cycle Toronto to offer free legal advice to local riders, says a recent Metro report.

“The system can be very complicated and a lot of cyclists don’t know what entitlements they have,” Brown, a partner with McLeish Orlando LLP, tells the publication.

“I know about cycling law and it’s important for me to give back to the community,” Brown says in Metro.

Brown is a founding member of Cycle Toronto and was part of initiating and executing the Coroner’s Review on Cycling Deaths in Ontario.

In many cases, cyclists with legal questions “don’t need a lawyer, they just need some good advice,” says Brown, who has often represented the families of cyclists killed or seriously injured in collisions with vehicles.
