Pedestian & Bicycle Accidents

A pedestrian or a person on a bicycle has very little protection against outside impacts and collisions. When a motor vehicle driver is negligent, and that negligent conduct results is harm to other people, the driver can be held liable for any damages sustained by the injured person.

In addition to pedestrian-vehicle accidents, non-vehicle pedestrian accidents also may occur. Most often, these types of injuries are caused by poor property maintenance, including sidewalk or parking lot defects.

Whether a person was hit by a car or tripped on a sidewalk, a pedestrian can recover damages for his injuries if someone else’s negligence or intentional acts caused the accident.

Bike accident injuries can be costly due to a bicyclist’s limited protection against outside impacts. Often, bicycle accidents result in head, neck, and spinal cord injuries.
