Car Accidents with Pedestrians and Bicycles

Injury Lawyer

Every year, hundreds of Virginia pedestrians and bicyclists are injured by distracted drivers and motorists who fail to yield the right of way. In many cases, these accidents involve school-aged children. Any time a car collides with an unprotected pedestrian or bicyclist, serious personal injury can occur.

Even the safest and most cautious pedestrians cannot protect themselves against every negligent driver. If you are hit in a crosswalk, the fault of the driver is especially clear. If you have been injured in a car-pedestrian or car-bicycle accident, you are entitled to seek compensation for your injuries and other losses. Our Virginia Beach injury lawyers can help you recover financially while you focus on healing.

Common Injuries in Car-Pedestrian and Car-Bicycle Accidents

Broken bones are one of the most common injuries suffered in car accidents with pedestrians or bicycles. Some of these bones may be easy to set and require very little additional medical attention. Others, such as hip and leg bones, may permanently alter your mobility, resulting in rehabilitation expenses in addition to an impacted quality of life.

Other injuries that often from these types of accidents include:

• Brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Burn injuries
• Amputations

These injuries often have far reaching financial, emotional, and physical consequences, and they demand swift justice.
