New Jersey Lawyers For Pedestrians And Bicyclists Hit By Cars

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 5,000 joggers, other pedestrians and bicyclists lose their life each year, and thousands more suffer serious injuries or become disabled as a result of being hit by a car, truck or another motor vehicle.

At the law offices of Koles & Burke, LLP, our attorneys are experienced, caring professionals who help accident victims and their families overcome the aftermath of a serious car accident and recover the full compensation they are entitled to for their losses.

While some pedestrian and bicycle accidents are just that — accidents — others are the result of the negligence and carelessness of others:

  • Drivers who fail to yield at a crosswalk or pedestrian crossing
  • Drivers who fail to notice when a child runs into the street after a ball
  • Drivers who are speeding and cannot stop quickly enough in residential areas
  • Drivers who are inattentive and fail to see a pedestrian in the street
  • Drivers who hug the shoulder of the road too closely when a jogger or cyclist is present

Our lawyers marshal all our firm’s resources — accident reconstructionists, investigators, videographers and other experts — to analyze a motor vehicle accident and prepare a solid claim against the driver’s insurance policy and against applicable uninsured or underinsured motorist policies in order to recover the full compensation our client needs and deserves. We pursue compensation for all of their losses, including lost wages, medical treatment, pain and suffering, and much more.

Even when pedestrian injuries result from a hit-and-run accident, we have the experience, knowledge, and commitment to help our client recover the compensation they are entitled. Although the at-fault driver is unknown, compensation may still be available through an uninsured motorist claim.

We Can Help Bicycle And Pedestrian Accident Victims Recover

If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident or bicycle accident in New Jersey or lower Manhattan, we can help. We have decades of experience handling the delicate issues in a wrongful death claim or personal injury claim. Recognizing that pedestrian injuries can be far more severe than other accidents — resulting in spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries, amputation, complex leg fractures, and fatal injuries — our lawyers are resilient in their approach to pursuing the compensation our clients are entitled.
