Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

PERSONAL INJURY REPRESENTATION

Helping Injured Pedestrians and Cyclists

Pedestrians and bicyclists have little protection when struck by a motor vehicle. Even a relatively low-speed collision can result in serious injuries, extensive medical treatment, lost income, and lasting effects on daily life.

Hamed Law Firm represents pedestrians and cyclists injured because of negligent drivers, including crashes involving failure to yield, unsafe turns, distracted driving, speeding, opening vehicle doors into a cyclist’s path, and other dangerous roadway conduct.

We focus on investigating how the collision occurred, documenting the resulting injuries and losses, addressing insurance issues, and pursuing the compensation available under the law.

How We Approach a Claim

1. Investigate the Collision

We review police reports, photographs, witness information, surveillance footage when available, roadway conditions, traffic controls, and other evidence that may help establish how the collision occurred.

2. Document the Injuries and Losses

Pedestrian and bicycle crashes can cause significant injuries. We gather medical records, treatment information, lost-income documentation, and other evidence showing the impact of the accident.

3. Address Liability and Insurance Issues

We identify the insurance coverage involved and respond to disputes concerning fault, injuries, damages, and the circumstances surrounding the collision.

4. Evaluate the Path Forward

We pursue an appropriate resolution through negotiation and evaluate further legal action when a fair resolution cannot be reached.

Focused Case Preparation

Pedestrian and bicycle accident claims often depend on careful reconstruction of what happened before the impact. We focus on preserving available evidence, documenting the injuries, and presenting the circumstances of the collision clearly and thoroughly.

CAREFUL INVESTIGATION

We examine roadway conditions, traffic controls, witness information, photographs, and other evidence that may help establish responsibility.

SERIOUS INJURY DOCUMENTATION

Pedestrians and cyclists can suffer substantial injuries. We carefully document the medical, financial, and personal impact of the collision.

CLIENT-FOCUSED ADVOCACY

Every accident is different. Our representation is tailored to the circumstances of the collision, the injuries involved, and the client’s individual needs.

What Should I Do After a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident?

Seek appropriate medical attention and report the collision. If possible, preserve photographs of the scene, vehicle, bicycle, roadway conditions, visible injuries, and any available witness information.

What If the Driver Says I Was at Fault?

A driver’s statement does not determine responsibility. Police reports, witness accounts, traffic signals, roadway markings, surveillance footage, and other evidence may help establish how the collision occurred.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Depending on the circumstances, a claim may involve medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses recognized by law.

What If the Driver Left the Scene or Had No Insurance?

Other sources of recovery may sometimes be available depending on the circumstances and applicable insurance coverage. The specific options depend on the facts of the collision and the policies involved.
