Cycling Insurance - 3rd Party Liability

Anyone know if you can get good insurance if god forbid I hit a pedestrian/car? Can't find any Co that does it in Ireland.

Can you be sued if you're in an accident with a pedestrian? (let's assume you did everything possible to cycle safely)

Of course you can be sued; the question is will the pedestrian win?

No one can answer that I'm afraid.

Yes they very much can.

I refer to my previous post, many, possibly most all risks policies will cover third party liabilities for things you do while on a bike/skateboard/pogo etc
