Pedestrian, Bicycle, and E-Bike Accidents

Pedestrian, bicycle, and e-bike claims often begin with a person being hit or forced down while walking, crossing, riding, or using an e-bike or scooter. These incidents can happen in crosswalks, parking lots, intersections, bike lanes, sidewalks, driveways, or roadway shoulders, and the injury can be serious even when the vehicle was moving slowly.

The main issues are usually right-of-way, visibility, speed, road design, traffic signals, witness accounts, and insurance coverage. The review looks at medical treatment, photos, the police report, any video or nearby businesses, property damage to the bike or e-bike, and whether the driver, property owner, public entity, or another insurance source may be responsible.
