Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Claims
Pedestrians and bicyclists have little protection in a collision. These cases often require careful review of visibility, right-of-way, speed, roadway conditions, and driver conduct.
Key Issues
- Driver conduct and distraction
- Crosswalks and right-of-way
- Lighting and visibility
- Roadway or intersection conditions
- Surveillance or dash-camera evidence
Visibility and Right-of-Way Evidence Matter
These collisions often turn on what each person could see, vehicle speed, lighting, crosswalks, traffic controls, roadway design, distraction, and the timing of the impact. Because the injuries can be severe, preserving scene and video evidence is especially important.
Potential Evidence
- Intersection or business surveillance
- Vehicle or dash-camera video
- Phone or distraction evidence
- Lighting and roadway measurements
- Witness statements
- Bicycle, helmet, clothing, and other physical evidence
