For a pedestrian or bicyclists, a motor vehicle accident can be a particularly traumatic experience. If you were hit by a car or truck while walking or biking, you need skilled legal assistance in order to get the compensation you deserve.
At Rosenthal & Heymann, LLC, based in Denver and serving people throughout Colorado, we help people like you recover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages caused by pedestrian and bicycle accidents. To get our experienced personal injury lawyers working on your case, fill out our personal injury form, or call us at 303-825-2223.
Whenever a collision occurs between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian or bicyclist, the latter is at a much greater risk for serious injuries such as head injuries and spinal cord injuries. If you've been in a pedestrian or bike accident, our first priority will be to ensure you have access to the medical attention you need to recover from your injuries.
Because pedestrians and bicyclists are vulnerable to heavy vehicles, drivers have a responsibility to keep an eye out for them. Even when fault seems clear cut, the other side may claim that you were at fault. We will ensure that a thorough investigation of the facts is performed by a skilled investigator.
Even though you were injured in a pedestrian or bicycle accident, if you have auto insurance, your own insurance company may owe you compensation for your injuries. Medical payments (medpay) coverage is an optional plan that is supposed to cover your medical expenses after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. Also, if you have uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage, you should be protected from hit-and-run drivers and drivers who have no insurance or inadequate insurance.
Unfortunately, sometimes your own insurance company is reluctant to pay out on medpay or uninsured and under-insured motorist claims. Our attorneys will make sure you get the coverage you paid for.
