After a Bike Rider or a Pedestrian is Struck by a Car
If you have been involved in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, you want to know what your first step should be. You want to know how you can collect the compensation you are entitled to — compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The success of your case could hinge on enlisting an experienced attorney as soon as possible and avoiding conversations with investigators or insurance representatives who could use what you say against you. The first step you should take is to contact a law firm you can trust.

Bike Riders and Pedestrians Have the Right to Use the Road
Our lawyers believe that strategy is critical to success in pedestrian and bicycle accident cases. We build every case with the thought that we may have to take it all the way to trial in order to get you the results that you need.
To that end, bicycle and pedestrian cases are very different. When we put together a bicycle accident case, we have to be mindful of the fact that other drivers, including those that may be on the jury if your case goes to trial, frequently see bike riders as a nuisance. It is important that we include an educational component in our strategy to make it clear to the jury that bicyclists have the same rights and obligations on the road as drivers do.
Pedestrian accident cases, particularly those involve crosswalk accidents, are much different. People tend to understand that pedestrians often have the right of way. Still, we must make certain that our case makes it clear why you deserve the compensation you are asking for.
