Pedestrian/Bicycle Accidents

Bike, Pedestrian Accident Attorney

A woman pulled out of a supermarket parking lot and ran over a pedestrian. The driver never even touched the brakes. With the help of the Boccardo Law Firm, the injured pedestrian received financial compensation for all the damages she suffered.

That case is typical of the hundreds of bike and pedestrian accident claims the attorneys of the Boccardo Law Firm have handled over the past 73 years.

Alarming Statistics

Bikers and walkers are run down by cars with alarming frequency. In 2005, for example, 742 pedestrians and 115 bicyclists were killed in traffic accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Because they lack any protection, the victims of bike and pedestrian accidents can suffer extremely serious injuries, including brain injuries, fractures, spinal cord injuries, and internal injuries.

Drivers tend to overlook bikers and pedestrians, just as they fail to see motorcyclists on the highway. Our attorneys consult with human factors experts to help explain this phenomenon to juries. Then we work to hold negligent drivers accountable for the damages they cause.

If you have been injured in a bike or pedestrian accident, our attorneys will pursue financial compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and more.
