Pedestrian & Bike Accident Lawyer

Detroit may be known as “The Motor City,” but cars aren’t the only occupants of the road. Drivers have a duty to drive carefully to protect others, including pedestrians and cyclists. When they don’t, catastrophic injuries can result, especially for people who don’t have the protection of a car’s steel frame or airbags.

If you are a cyclist or pedestrian who has been injured by a car or other vehicle, the other driver may be liable for your injuries. A bike accident lawyer or pedestrian accident lawyer can protect your legal interests while you focus on what matters—healing. To get the support you need, contact J.L. Hawkins Law to schedule a free consultation.

How a Bike Accident Lawyer or Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Helps

After a bicycle or pedestrian accident, the first thing you should do is get medical attention. After that, you should speak with an attorney who has experience representing accident victims. If an insurance company contacts you after your accident, they may try to persuade you that you don’t need a lawyer. That’s because they know that if you have a lawyer, you are more likely to hold out for the compensation you deserve.

Your attorney will handle communications with insurance companies and other lawyers on your behalf. When done this way, it prevents you from making an innocent statement that could jeopardize your legal rights or even cause you to be blamed for the accident down the road. Your accident lawyer will also evaluate the strength of your case and prevent you from accepting a settlement offer that is far too low. Your legal team can help you gather evidence in your case to strengthen your overall position in settlement negotiations or at trial.
