Representation For Bike And Pedestrian Accident Victims
Last updated on May 24, 2024
An accident between two vehicles can be awful, but the vehicles can help minimize the damage with their safety features. For accidents between a cyclist or pedestrian and a vehicle, the person not in the car has little to nothing to protect them. When these accidents happen, the victim needs to receive compensation that can cover the massive cost of their injuries.

The Risks Cyclists Face
Drivers rarely look out for bicycles on the road while driving. Between other cars, trucks, motorcycles and even road signs, cyclists may be one of the last things they are looking for on the road. As a result of this negligence, it is very easy for a reckless driver to sideswipe a bicycle, hurt a cyclist in a dooring accident or rear-end one when they are not paying attention.
Unfortunately, cyclists typically bear the brunt of the impact in a bicycling accident. The full force of the crash often leads to serious injuries that can require extensive medical care. Long-term rehabilitation is not uncommon in bicycling accidents, and it is important that you know the extent of your injuries before you make any decisions regarding the future of your case.

The Dangers Pedestrians Take On
Walking across the street or on the sidewalk is not as safe as we like to think it is. All it takes is one reckless or negligent driver to run a red light or jump the curb and collide with someone walking by. When a pedestrian accident occurs, it commonly results in catastrophic injuries with lifelong consequences that can leave the victim with a lifetime of expenses, and the compensation they receive should reflect all of those expenses.
It is important that if you are injured in a pedestrian accident that you seek medical care as soon as possible. This will be essential to not only get you the treatment you need to return to health, but also help connect the injuries to the accident. This can be vital to the strength of your claim against the responsible parties.
An experienced pedestrian accidents lawyer can help you learn more about the options available to you. You should not discuss your claim with the insurance company – even your own insurer – until you know the value of your case. Our pedestrian accident attorneys will explain what we can do to help you recover maximum compensation from those who have caused your injuries.
Getting The Compensation You Deserve
If you were injured or as a cyclist or pedestrian, you need to be sure you are getting the compensation you deserve for all of the costs of your injuries. Costs like lost income, loss of earning potential, current and future medical expenses, and pain and suffering should all be a part of your compensation claim. We have the experience and skill to help see that happen.
