If you believe a driver’s negligence caused your injuries, it’s crucial to seek legal guidance as soon as possible.

• Accident From Motor Vehicle: This is the most common type of pedestrian accident, occurring when a car, truck, bus, or other motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian. These accidents can result in devastating injuries due to the force of impact.
• Injured on Sidewalk: While sidewalks are designed for pedestrian safety, hazards such as uneven surfaces, debris, or overgrown vegetation can cause trips and falls, leading to injuries. In some cases, property owners may be liable for maintaining safe sidewalks. Additionally, vehicles mounting the curb and striking pedestrians is also a cause of injuries on sidewalks.

• Injured In Crosswalk: Crosswalks are designated areas for pedestrian crossings, but unfortunately, accidents still happen here. Drivers may fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, leading to serious injuries.
• Injured on Bicycle: While technically not a pedestrian, bicyclists share similar vulnerabilities on the road. Accidents involving bicycles and motor vehicles can cause severe injuries to the cyclist. We can also assist cyclists who have been injured due to driver negligence.
