Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

Bicycle and pedestrian accidents occur with alarming frequency. Because a cyclist or pedestrian is extremely vulnerable, being struck by a car, bus, or truck often results in a catastrophic injury or death. Pedestrian and bicycle accidents can be caused in a variety of ways, including the following:

Car accident : Bicyclists and pedestrian accidents can be collateral to a two vehicle collision, where a car is forced off the road and strikes a bicyclist or pedestrian, or a car can strike them directly, including drunk drivers, hit and run drivers, and drivers who are preoccupied with children, cell phones, or other distractions.

Bus or truck accident : Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can be the result of being struck by a truck or bus, including buses and trucks entering bicycle or walking lanes, not paying attention to traffic lights or crosswalks, and because of large blind spots on a truck or bus.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Train Accidents : Train accidents involving pedestrians have increased in recent years, due to more pedestrians on the roadways and hiking trails that cross railroad tracks and the lack of proper warning devices or the failure of warning devices at railroad crossings.

Construction accidents: Pedestrian and bike accidents can occur on or near construction sites from falling debris, failing to warn of defects, holes, or ditches, and from being struck by a construction vehicle.

Defective products : Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can be a result of a defective product, including being struck by a car or falling debris due to a product defect, or being in an accident because of a defective bicycle.
