Pedestrian Accidents

Automobile, truck, and motorcycle drivers bear a responsibility every time they get behind the wheel of their vehicles to follow the rules of the road and to constantly be aware of any pedestrian activity. If drivers fail to exercise caution at stop signs, school bus stops, crosswalks, and stop lights, they can be held accountable for their recklessness and negligence if they strike a pedestrian. In the event that pedestrians are jaywalking and do not have the right of way, drivers are still required by law to stop and let them cross. Legal doctrine known as the “last clear chance” stipulates that a driver can be held liable for injuring a pedestrian if he or she had any opportunity at all to avoid the pedestrian and prevent the accident from occurring.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, our lawyers can help ensure that you receive financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Schedule a consultation with the pedestrian accident attorneys at our practice for a thorough review of your case.

Bicycle Accidents

In addition to the harm they can cause pedestrians, reckless and inattentive drivers also pose a threat to bicyclists. Drivers who speed, fail to adhere to stop signs and stoplights, or who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol can seriously injure bicyclists if they hit them with their vehicles.

If the bike itself is defective or its brakes or pedals caused an accident to occur, then a product liability lawsuit may be filed against the manufacturer. The government or other public agencies can be held liable if a bicycle accident was caused by a pothole or other hazardous condition on a public road or sidewalk.

If you’ve been injured while riding a bicycle, our accident attorneys have experience in investigating all aspects of bicycle accidents and can prove to a jury how another party’s negligence is responsible for your injuries. Our bicycle accident lawyers will work to ensure that you receive financial compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and other damages.
