Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

Helping Injured Cyclists and Pedestrians

The West Valley has wide sidewalks and bike lanes to make it easier for people to walk and ride bikes. Unfortunately, not all drivers watch out for pedestrians and cyclists. As Goodyear and nearby areas have grown, accidents involving walkers and bike riders have gone up.

Drivers often don’t see cyclists or pedestrians until it’s too late. Many accidents happen because drivers are speeding or distracted, like texting while driving. At West Valley Accident Attorneys, we make sure careless drivers are held responsible for the injuries or deaths they cause.

Our law firm in Goodyear, Arizona, handles injury and wrongful death cases throughout the West Valley, Greater Phoenix, and across Arizona. Call us at 602-834-0673 for a free consultation.

Experienced Lawyers for Pedestrian and Bike Accidents

Some areas are especially dangerous for walkers and cyclists, like intersections, driveways, parking lots, school crossings, and narrow roads. People often don’t have time to move out of the way of a car.

Our lawyers investigate these accidents to find out what happened and who is at fault. We collect evidence, talk to witnesses, and recreate the events when needed. Drivers sometimes blame the victim, but we work to show that the driver was responsible. Common causes include:

• Driving too fast or aggressively
• Texting or other distractions
• Not yielding when turning
• Making unsafe turns
• Running stop signs or red lights
• Drifting into bike lanes
• Backing up or pulling out without looking

Getting Fair Compensation for Injuries

Walkers and cyclists are at high risk for serious injuries when hit by a car. Even helmets can’t fully protect cyclists. Common injuries include broken bones, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, cuts, and emotional trauma, especially for children.

We work with experts to make sure our clients get money for medical bills, ongoing care, lost wages, and damages for pain and suffering. If needed, we are ready to take the case to court to fight for justice.
