Protecting the Rights of the Injured
Bicycle riders and pedestrians are injured most often by the inattentive driving of another person. Since bikers and pedestrians are essentially unprotected, they are going to lose every time. If you or someone you love has been hurt in this type of accident, speak with a personal injury lawyer to learn about your rights.
At Burke & Thomas, PLLP, we stand up for people injured in bicycle and pedestrian accidents caused by others' negligence. Our experienced attorneys have helped countless clients recover the compensation they deserve for their injuries. We can help you, too.
St. Paul Bicycle Accident Lawyers
A majority of bicycle and pedestrian accidents occur because motorists are not paying attention to what is going on around them. While bikers and pedestrians have the right of way at intersections and crosswalks, inattentive drivers sometimes fail to notice them. Accidents also occur when drivers attempt to pass bikers on the roadway.
Burke & Thomas represents clients hurt in the Twin Cities area, as well as throughout Minnesota and the surrounding states. If you have been injured while traveling anywhere in the United States, or even outside the country, we can also help you. We frequently handle cases involving:
- Head and brain injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Fractures and broken bones
- Paraplegia/quadriplegia
- Amputation
- Crushed ligaments
- Wrongful death
It is important to remember that even though victims are generally only falling four or five feet to the ground in these accidents, they can suffer serious injuries.
What to Do Following an Accident
After a bike or pedestrian accident, your first priority is to seek medical treatment. Your next move should be to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer. When you call our firm, you will speak directly with a proven attorney who will listen to your story.
In these accidents, it can be difficult to find a lot of evidence. Witness testimony can be critical. As soon as you call us, we will launch a swift investigation into the matter. Whether you were hurt in a hit-and-run accident or the negligent party is known, we will aggressively pursue the issue and build a solid case based on the facts.
Because we prepare each case as though it will proceed to trial, we have a greater chance of settling the issue outside the courtroom. Either way, we will help you obtain the compensation you need.
