First, a person riding a bike is treated as a vehicle. Second, who is at fault is determined by a rule call "Fault Determination Rules" in Ontario. So, why don't you post the details and let's see who is at fault?

I don't think it's your 100% faut. Never say it's my faut, it's my 100% faut before the policmen say so. Only talking about what did you do to the policmen.

不一定是你的责任。1,这里一个路口的灯变成红灯后,另一个方向不是向国内立刻变绿。有一个延迟,主要是防止有黄灯没来得及停车的。所以你说你的方向刚刚从黄灯变,那对方的灯一定还在红灯呢。等撞完了你看是绿灯,但撞的瞬间应该是红灯。那就是他闯红灯了。2。这里自行车一般都优先,所以退一步,就算你有一点违反,汽车应该也避让。因为路口刚刚变灯,所以不太可能存在是刹车不及的问题。很可能使对方当时走神了没看到你。这就是careless driving。
he he ,应该担心的是他不是你,从你的说的看,你应该没责任。倒是他麻烦了。让他给你出钱养伤。

thank!!我理论上应该是冲了红灯,对方及目击人也是这么说,因为我是被从右边并排过来的两部车中的最靠路牙的那辆撞的,他们应该在过绿灯.
so it must be my fault.

Great argument!Again, as many people argued here, go to the court, and convince yourself that you are not at fault. This is important.
Another point may help, that you are just in Canada for a short time, while the traffic rules are quite different in China. But be careful to use this because you may make things worse.

That's a very good point. In China, the bicycle has more priority than the car under the same condition.So you can tell the court that you thought the cars on the other two sides(both your left and your right) should not start until you past the intersection. This will make a big difference.
Besides, don't admit you ran red light even the other driver and the witness said so.

I don't think it is 100% at your fault, perhaps 50-50.

1.It 's not the end of the world. 也许你能得到很多赔偿并改写加拿大交通法规。我同意 金字塔 的说法。一个教车教练的教练给我讲过这样一个故事:在一个很大的十字路口,一个闯黄灯的车辆 A 还没走出十字路口就遇到了变红灯,这时,与它相垂直的车 B 已经面对绿灯,启动,结果两车相撞,双方都没错。
后来修改了变灯时间。并要求 :B车起步前要SCAN INTERSECTION AND MAKE SURE THE INTERSECTION IS CLEAR。A车即使不能及时停在线内,那就停在线外。虽然停的不漂亮但安全。
如你所说,你是在黄灯变红灯时过马路,你的右边变灯理应没有那么迅速变绿灯。根据我开车的观察,,,当我正前方交通灯由黄变红时,右边应该仍然时红灯,甚至在我的正前方红了1到2秒左右,右边红灯还会有个短暂的持续。
以下有段话是我原文摘自我所居住的省(沙省)保险公司SGI手册上的,
You must not admit that you are at fault, even if you feel you were. You may not know all the facts.
我想你一定要体会这句话的精神。
先好好养伤重要,好运!
