BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Walking and bike-riding are leisurely pass-times that so many of us enjoy, as well as every-day means of transportation. Unfortunately, the accidents that occur during these activities are all too common. 70,000 pedestrian and 50,000 bicycle accidents happen every year throughout the United States.
Under Pennsylvania law, bicycles are considered vehicles. If you’re in an accident while riding a bike, you have the same rights afforded a driver of any other vehicle on the road, and therefore may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damages and pain and suffering. It’s important to seek medical attention for all injuries and keep track of your medical bills and related costs. As pedestrian and bicycle claims are often complicated, before limiting your right to recover, seek legal counsel.
