Pedestrians and Bike Riders Hit by Cars
The driver and the insurance companies always want to blame the victim. At Louis P. Lombardi II & Associates, we don't let them off that easy. A motorist always has a duty to be vigilant for pedestrians, and more often than not the driver's own inattention or traffic violation is the main factor.
Our law firm vigorously represents victims of pedestrian accidents and bike accidents. Our veteran personal injury lawyers have secured compensation for clients across Montgomery County and the Philadelphia metro area. If you or your child was struck by car, call 1-888-818-4343 for a free consultation.
Proving Fault in Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Prompt investigation and witness accounts are crucial to establishing liability in these cases. We get professional investigators quickly to the accident site, and our attorney often visits the scene himself. Our mission is to illustrate the driver's negligence:
- Speeding or running a stoplight/stop sign
- Failing to yield when turning
- Talking on a cell phone or other distraction
- Sideswiping or cutting off the cyclist
- Failing to exercise caution in a residential or downtown area
- Pulling out or backing out without looking
We Know Your Rights
Trial lawyer Louis P. Lombardi brings 28 years of experience to your personal injury or wrongful death claim, including insights from 10 years representing insurers before he opened his own practice. He is intimately knowledgeable about the insurance coverage issues under Pennsylvania law in bike and pedestrian accidents, including hit-and-run accidents, uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims and stacking of policies to maximize compensation.
Even when the actions of children or careless adults contribute to an accident (darting out, jaywalking, crossing against a light), drivers are not automatically off the hook. Do not assume that you have no claim! Contact us for a free case evaluation. Based in the Norristown area, we serve clients throughout southeastern Pennsylvania.
