Sue whoever threw the can? Yes. Do you know who it was? Did you make a police report? Were you injured? Damage to your MB? Are you fully legal where you are (bike and you as the rider)?

BTW- the answer to the question "Can I sue....?" is always "yes". The real question is whether you have any realistic chance of success.

Are you in high school or college?If it were me and in high school I would give the guy a good old fashion ........I know this is now the 80's anymore,but I would call it self defense....I know im old school but old or new school a good old fashion wooping would cure the problem....Now that being said I would not take me advice.....Lick your wounds and turn the other cheak but if person messes with you again beat his a@s in self defense....End of story....

The can throwing coward would have to be identified and perhaps witnessed by others. What a way to tell you of their jealousy. I agree with the above posting.

I would say if this happened outside school and the other person is a student, report it and go from there...and buckle or adjust you helmet.
