Bicyclists and Pedestrians

New York Bicyclist and Pedestrian Accident Attorney

A pedestrian or bicyclist accident is typically a hit-and-run situation when the driver of the car or truck cannot be found. Sometimes, the motorist does not even realize that a person has been hit. Other times, the hit-and-run is a deliberate, impulsive response to panic and fear. When a responsible driver stops to check on the well-being of a bicyclist or pedestrian they have struck, the investigation of the accident is more straightforward.

Who Is Responsible?

Whether your pedestrian or bicyclist accident was your fault or the motorist's fault and regardless of whether it was a hit-and-run, you should contact an experienced lawyer at the law offices of Brian D. Primes, Esq., PLLC. We are prepared to help determine who is responsible and to explain how you can obtain the maximum available compensation to pay for your injuries and your suffering.

Serious Injuries or Wrongful Death

If you have broken a bone or suffered a back, neck or brain injury in a pedestrian or bicyclist accident, you will face medical bills and related therapy and rehabilitation costs. Perhaps you lost a family member when the bicycle or pedestrian accident was fatal, and now you must live without your loved one's income as well as without her or his affection and companionship.
