Injured while Walking or Cycling?
While all accidents are serious, pedestrians are especially at risk. When a vehicle strikes an unprotected pedestrian or cyclist, it often results in lifelong injuries or permanent disabilities.
Walkers and joggers shouldn’t have to live in fear of traffic. If you were injured in an accident, you might be legally entitled to compensation for what you’ve suffered.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Sometimes the victim of a car wreck isn’t a passenger in the vehicle.
Unfortunately, auto-pedestrian accidents are not uncommon. Data from the Center for Disease Control shows that nearly 6,000 pedestrians are killed in car wrecks each year. The number of pedestrians with non-fatal accident injuries is much higher: 137,000 people visited emergency rooms for crash-related injuries in 2017.
In an accident involving a pedestrian or cyclist, it may be more difficult to prove who is truly to blame for the crash. Cars must yield to pedestrians, but pedestrians do not always have the right-of-way. Pedestrian laws also vary from state to state, adding to the complexity of your accident.
In this situation, it’s vital to have an experienced injury lawyer on your side.
Cycling & Pedestrian Laws
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include a lack of awareness, misinformation, and misunderstanding of the law. Arkansas laws regarding pedestrians and cyclists are changing often. And it’s everyone’s responsibility to know the rules of the road:
