Springfield Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Attorney

Why do you need a lawyer after being struck by a car while walking in an intersection or riding your bike legally on a city road? After all, isn’t it presumed that a pedestrian or biker has the right of way on Illinois roads?

Well, yes, that is often the case. However, insurance companies know that driver negligence in a pedestrian or bike accident is hard to prove. Evidence often comes down to the car driver’s word against the injury victim. Even when there appears to be a case of clear liability on the part of their policyholder, the insurance company will try to settle the case early, with a low settlement that appears to be sufficient to cover the injury. Having an experienced Springfield pedestrian and bicycle accident attorney on your side can be a critical factor in receiving a settlement that fully covers your injuries, lost earnings, pain and suffering now and in the future, and punitive damages if the law provides.
