Bicycle And Pedestrian Injury

North Carolina Personal Injury Attorneys - Wilmington

The lawyers at Lea, Rhine & Rosbrugh, P.L.L.C. have handled wrongful death cases stemming from pedestrian accidents and catastrophic bicycle accidents. North Carolina citizens have enjoyed walking, running and bicycling for years and are actively engaged in these pursuits. The Bicycle and Bikeway Act of 1974 was the first bicycle law in the nation. North Carolina protects pedestrians by giving them the right of way at all intersections and driveways. Despite this, pedestrian deaths are second only to occupant deaths in vehicular accidents in the country.

The injuries sustained by our clients in these cases have been severe. Unlike passengers in a car, who have seat belts, air bags and a large steel barricade, pedestrians and bicyclists are unprotected. This leads to head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, severe road burns, and in some cases paralysis.

If you are injured, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries. Because pedestrians and bicyclists are sometimes hard to see, these cases can be difficult. Be sure you get all the information you can about the accident. Secure any evidence available, find out the names and contact information of witnesses, and get the names and insurance information of the driver involved. Witnesses are especially important to furnish evidence as to whose negligence caused the injuries.
