A pedestrian or bicyclist who is struck and injured by a car, truck, bus, train or other vehicle has the same right to seek financial compensation as any other injured person. Indeed, it is often more necessary given that accidents sustained by a pedestrian or cyclist are often more serious than two-vehicle accidents. Oftentimes, accidents involving pedestrians or bicyclists are more complex than accidents involving two motor vehicles. However, we have seen too many pedestrians get talked into believing they somehow are at fault and cannot pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Do not make this mistake. Our experienced attorneys can review the facts of your case during a consultation to determine if you have an actionable case.
These types of accidents often result in injuries that require extensive medical treatment and getting fully compensated from the at-fault party is critical. You have suffered enough. The financial burden of medical costs, missed paychecks and long-term rehabilitation should not land on you.
At the law office of Racine Olson, we will aggressively pursue the full amount you deserve. We are always prepared to go to trial if necessary while, at the same time, we can work toward a reasonable settlement.
