So last night I had to stop off at Noah's on Bloor st West (at Spadina).
As I park my car on Bloor st. I get out, walk around my car to get to the store, and I almost collided with a cyclist who was going very fast.
I missed him by perhaps 1 or 2 inches.

So I was wondering who would be liable if we had collided and one of us was seriously injured??
Do we have any lawyers on this site who can answer this??

My car was parked where the plumbing truck is in this pic.
I walked around the front of my car, so the cyclist was out of my view, and I was probably out of view to the cyclist as well
I drive a large SUV by the way

IANAL, but I imagine that it would be similar, legally speaking, to stepping out into a car lane without looking and being hit by a car.
