Establishes liability standards for vehicle collisions involving pedestrians, bicycles, or minor motor vehicles.

This bill establishes liability standards for vehicle collisions involving pedestrians, bicycles, or minor motor vehicles. It presumes the operator of a major motor vehicle to have negligently caused the collision, while the operator of a minor motor vehicle or bicycle is presumed to have negligently caused the collision if it involves a pedestrian. The owner of a vehicle or bicycle is presumed to have been the operator at the time of the collision, but can rebut this presumption. The plaintiff has the burden to prove damages and causation.
