Woodland Hills Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Attorney

Banner

While motor vehicles may make up most of the population of roads in Woodland Hills and across the globe, they are not the sole group entitled to use them. Nor can they use their size and weight advantages to intimidate and bully other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. The lack of a sturdy metal shell makes those traveling on foot and by bicycle vulnerable to the reckless behavior of those behind the wheel of a car or truckand, all too often, this vulnerability becomes apparent when severe injuries are sustained in an accident. Pedestrians and bicycle users are also significantly more likely to suffer fatal injuries than occupants of motor vehicles.

Suppose you have been injured in a Woodland Hills pedestrian or bicycle accident. In that case, you will likely require considerable time away from work as you recover, meaning you cannot earn the income you and your household have come to rely on. To ensure you receive the maximum amount of compensation available to you, it is strongly recommended that you hire an expert attorney to represent you.

Protecting Your Legal Rights After A Woodland Hills Pedestrian Or Bicycle Accident

As a pedestrian or cyclist, you have rights on the road, and these are not limited to the use of a crosswalk, cycle lane, or sidewalk. All drivers on the road are legally obliged to be aware of their presence and to be vigilant for pedestrians or bicycles at all times. Motorists are not entitled to encroach on your space or use their vehicle to intimidate you into speeding up or moving out of your way. All road users should be treated with respect. If you have been struck by a vehicle or run off the road by an impatient, aggressive driver, our Woodland Hills pedestrian and bicycle accident attorneys could hold the responsible party accountable for their actions by pursuing them for the monetary damages you deserve.

In addition to helping you get the medical attention and treatment you require, a JML Law attorney will work tirelessly to gather all the information and evidence necessary to build a strong case on your behalf. This process will include:

  1. Thoroughly investigate all aspects of your Woodland Hills pedestrian or bicycle accident.
  2. Gathering proof of the responsible party’s negligence or wrongdoing.
  3. Communicating with insurance companies, both yours and the responsible motorist’s.
  4. Accurately estimating your current and future medical and rehabilitation costs.
  5. Calculating your current and future lost earnings.
