Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident
When a pedestrian or bicyclist is struck by a motor vehicle, serious injuries are inevitable. Sadly, in some Utah bicycle and pedestrian accidents, the victims do not survive. If you or a family member has been hurt in a traumatic pedestrian or bicycle accident, we can help. The Christensen Law Firm, PLLC, represents Utah pedestrian and bicycle accident victims. Contact us immediately after a Utah bicycle or pedestrian crash.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents are a major problem in the United States. More and more people exercise outdoors by walking, jogging, rollerblading and bike riding. Since so many drivers are distracted and habitually speed along Utah roads, pedestrians and bike riders are at risk. In 2006, there were 4,784 pedestrian fatalities and 773 bicyclists who were killed in motor vehicle crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Children are frequently the victims of bicycle and pedestrian accidents in Utah. Pedestrian injury is one of the leading causes of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 5 to 14, according to the University of Utah Health Sciences Center.
These accidents commonly result in traumatic injuries and death because the pedestrian and bicyclist have no protection when hit by an automobile. For survivors of bicycle and pedestrian crashes, the recovery process can be long and painful. A major accident can result in broken bones, brain injury, spinal cord injury and paralysis. The bicycle or pedestrian accident victim can be compensated for his or her injuries, if the driver who caused the accident was negligent. Insurance companies do not always offer a fair settlement, which is why you need to have a Utah pedestrian accident attorney or bicycle accident attorney representing your best interests.
At Christensen Law Firm, we understand the emotional and physical pain that can accompany a tragic accident. As a client of Christensen Law Firm, you will not become a number in large personal injury law firm. We limit the amount of cases we represent so that each of our clients receives our undivided attention and the full value of their claim. Your case will be personally prepared by one of our experienced attorneys and not a legal assistant.
Our Utah pedestrian and bicycle lawyers know what it takes to win and we will work with you to ensure you receive the highest possible settlement possible. If your case is successful, you can recover damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress.
There are deadlines as to when you can file a pedestrian or bicycle accident claim in Utah. Waiting to seek legal representation after an accident can seriously damage your claim. Contact us today for a free consultation regarding your Utah pedestrian or bicycle accident case.
