Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Seattle-Area Bike and Pedestrian Accidents

General Form

Bicycle and pedestrian accidents are common in the northwest Washington region. Many people walk or ride bikes as their primary means of transportation. Unlike car drivers, joggers, walkers, and bikers are not protected by the structure of an automobile. They are very vulnerable in an accident, with serious injuries and fatalities a common result.

Talk with a lawyer about your rights and options after a bicycle accident

If you have been injured or a loved one was killed in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, it is important to contact an attorney who can advise you about your rights and options. We represent many victims who were injured while riding their bike or jogging or walking. We have been able to secure payment for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost income. At Amini Law Firm, P.S., we are skilled at analyzing the insurance carried by the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident. We work with medical experts to determine the extent of your injuries, and often send clients to specialists for an independent medical evaluation. We monitor clients' medical progress during their initial recovery period.

Causes of pedestrian and bike accidents

We have helped people injured by:

  • An automobile failing to use lights at dusk or in the evening
  • Excessive speed by a car or truck
  • The failure of a car driver to stop at a stop sign or red light before turning
  • Not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalk
  • Opening a car door in the path of an oncoming bicycle
  • Swerving onto the shoulder
