If equipment fails in a hospital causing patient to become overdosed with radiation leaving them comatose, who is liable for damages?
My son was hit by a car while riding his bike in Loveland (Larimer County) Colorado. He was hit from behind. The police tell us that the 3 foot passing law does not apply in this case, because there is a bike lane, delineated by a solid line. I think they are misinterpreting the law. Does it make a difference, how the line between a lane for traffic, and a lane for bicycles is marked? Or are cars required to allow 3 feet of distance when passing a bicycle, as the law states, and the cycling websites claim?
Also claim a good investigation was done. Police report is 3 sentences or so. Driver (79) got off scott free while my son is left with medical bills (GOt a summons for $17,000 over the weekend) and ongoing pain from the accident. Vehicle was a Mercury Moutianeer. Woman was on the phone but that did not make a difference

Alternative Dispute Resolution Information
The term “alternative dispute resolution” refers to any form of dispute resolution besides trial by judge or jury. Generally, when a party files a lawsuit to decide a dispute, whether it’s a malpractice claim or auto accident, a trial to determine liability (fault) and damages is the ultimate form of resolution. The trial process, however, is not always mandated and sometimes other or ‘alternative’ forms of dispute resolution are advisable or mandated.
