Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Every year, pedestrians and bicyclists are the victim of injury or death on streets and roadways through no fault of their own. People are hit in crosswalks by careless drivers failing to stop, and bicycle riders are hurt by opening car doors or are run over by inattentive drivers. Bike riders and pedestrians are often seriously injured by drunk or speeding drivers and left for dead in hit and run accidents.

At the Lincoln law firm of Keating, O’Gara, Nedved & Peter, P.C., L.L.O., our team of legal professionals is ready to assist pedestrians and bicycle riders who are injured in accidents with other vehicles. If you, or a family member, are the victim in a bike or pedestrian accident, you have rights. Contact our law office for a free initial consultation to discuss filing a claim for compensation.

Know Your Rights in a Bike or Pedestrian Accident

Drivers sometimes ignore traffic laws they would normally follow with other drivers in cars. They may fail to realize that bicycles have many of the same rights as other motor vehicles and that drivers must give right of way to pedestrians as defined by the law. We help our clients to hold drivers accountable for their negligence, and recover just compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Future health care costs
• Lost wages
• Property loss
• Pain and suffering

Due to obvious size and weight differences, the damage resulting from pedestrian and bicycle accidents frequently results in brain damage and other catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death to the rider or person on foot. Our firm uses an extensive network of accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists and financial professionals to build a powerful case that clearly illustrates the cause of a bike or pedestrian accident, the extent of injury or loss, and the full impact to the lives of the victim and their family.

Our skilled personal injury attorneys have the background and resources to help our clients and their loved ones find the compensation they will need to recover from a devastating bicycle or pedestrian accident.
