Sunrise Cyclery at Bryant/ Lake St. 7PM, FREE

Facilitators:  Robin Landy and Mike Fargione

Robin is a senior partner in a law firm that handles injury claims, and has been doing this work for more than 20 years.  Before law school, she was a social worker at Sister Kenny working with brain injured people.  She has been on the Board of the Brain Injury Association and currently serves on the Board of Jewish  Family Children's Services.  Mike Fargione did personal injury work for 25 years but is now a director of litigation with Minneapolis Legal Aid.

How the legal system works if you're in an accident:

1. What should be reported and to whom
2. If you need medical treatment, some unexpected sources of medical insurance
3. Figuring out issues of fault - rules of road for bikes, Minnesota No-Fault Act (you can get up to $20,000 in medical coverage)
4. Take care of yourself first- don't ride your bike without inspecting your body, and your bike
