BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT

Unfortunately, bicycle and pedestrian accidents are not uncommon. In many cases, they involve children who are playing or bicycling, and get caught up in the moment, losing site of their surroundings. That is why drivers and machine operators must be extra cautious when around children.

In addition, bicycle and pedestrian accidents also happen to adults, perhaps when bicycling along a street, or jogging at a crosswalk. These accidents often occur due to negligence or recklessness, including the following:

  • Being struck by a car, truck, bus or motorcycle (car accident)
  • Being struck by falling debris (construction accident)
  • Falling into a pit or ditch (construction accident)
  • Defective roadways, streets, crosswalks, and sidewalks (product liability)


Some Significant Serious Injuries can arise from bicycle or pedestrian injuries

  • Brain damage or injury
  • Spine or spinal cord injury
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Closed head injury
  • Paralysis or paraplegia or quadriplegia
  • Burns
  • Sensory impairment:  Blindness or deafness
  • Amputation - loss of limb
  • Wrongful death
  • Leg, knee, ankle Injuries or broken bones
