Court Dismisses Bike Racer’s Lawsuit in PA

Paralyzed bike racer’s suit against race organizer dismissed.

We wrote about this in Lawsuit filed against bicycle race organizer which has a discussion of the facts of the case.

The trial judge in this case dismissed the lawsuit because of the two releases the plaintiff had signed prior to the race. One of the releases was from USA Cycling.

The race, the Tour de ‘Toona, was not held this year because of finances and the litigation.

However this litigation is not over, the plaintiff has said they will appeal the suit.

It is a very sad situation and all parties including the judge in his 30 page opinion expressed his sympathy for the plaintiff who is now paralyzed.
