Maybe you don't understand yet.
I was in a powered vehicle. He was in another that he pedaled.
He drove through a red light. My movement was in the green light. He was invisible to me due to the way the road was laid out along with it hidden behind a high fence. I had no x ray vision. His problem was he ran a red light. The judge did not drive the path I drove.
I understood all that. But you didn't hire an attorney to make a defense. You were basically representing yourself.
I get that you expected the lawyer from the Ins. Co. to defend you, but that's not what he was there to do.
Did you do anything to prepare for court?
You admitted you were stopped at a red light. That makes you the burdened vehicle. It is your responsibility to make sure it's safe to proceed when the light turned green.
Did you have a diagram of the intersection, with dimensions and all the angles, that showed all the other vehicles, whether moving or parked, and the lines of sight from your vehicle, and the exact position of your vehicle at the time of the collision?
Did you have a video of the fence that showed the height and length, and what portions were visible from inside your vehicle, and as it approached the intersection and as it was sitting at the light?
Did you have photos of your car, and the damage where the bike hit it that showed the bike struck you from the side?
Did you examine the bicycle? Did you determine where he was coming from? That he was not just peddling home from a bar where he had been drinking all night?
Etc.
If you do not make a defense, it was just your version against his. With no witnesses and no evidence to support your version, you (as the burdened vehicle) will almost certainly lose.
