The Best Possible Outcome
Whenever there is a bicycle accident or pedestrian accident between a motor vehicle weighing thousands of pounds and the human body, it is very likely there will be severe and permanent injuries. The insurance industry thinks of everything, and bicycle injuries and pedestrian injuries are no exception. They have unique ways of defending these cases to try and make the driver of the vehicle appear to be fault-free or to place as much blame as possible on the pedestrian or bicyclist. They play into the stereotypes that exist in our community and encourage the judge or jury to speculate. Therefore, it is important that the evidence is quickly gathered in these types of cases and analyzed fairly.
As bicyle injury attorneys and pedestrian injury attorneys, we know how to address these issues. Questions about whether the collision occurred in a crosswalk and whether there was a walk signal are commonplace. Other questions about whether the driver of the vehicle could foresee the crash or whether the injured party darted out in front of the automobile are also routine issues that come up in cases such as these.
Additionally, there are many issues surrounding the nature and extent of injuries in these types of cases. Frequently, bicycle crashes or crosswalk accidents cause severe injuries and require numerous medical doctors and rehabilitation specialists to testify about how bad the injury is and how much future care will be required for the best possible outcome.
