Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
It is unfortunate but true that many automobile drivers do not respect the right of bicyclists to share the roads. At the same time, many young bike riders haven't been educated on how to legally and safely share the roads with automobiles. Motorists and bicyclists alike don't know that bicycle riders are subject to the same traffic laws as motorists. As a result, many bicyclists are injured or even killed in bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles.
The same can be said for pedestrians. On the one hand, motor vehicle operators have a responsibility to adhere to the laws of the road and drive in a safe and attentive manner at all times. Likewise, pedestrians must also adhere to the rules of the road. It is when these rules are not followed that serious injury and even death can result.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to help you.
Be sure to remember, if you or a family member are injured while a pedestrian, you may be entitled to the drivers insurance coverage to pay medical bills even if the driver was not negligent.
