Coral Gables Bicycle & Pedestrian Accident Attorney
// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Coral Gables Bike and Pedestrian Accident Injury Lawyers
Because of our warm weather and wealth of outdoor activities, Coral Gables attracts a large number of cyclists and walkers. All too often, the multitude of motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians sharing the road can lead to a dangerous and costly accident.
More than 500,000 people suffer from bicycle accident injuries each year, with more than 700 dying as a result. The total might even be higher than that, as many bicycle and pedestrian accidents go unreported.
No matter how many years of experience you have in a car or on a bike, anybody can get in an accident. If you sustain injuries in an accident, Kanner & Pintaluga will be there to aggressively pursue a personal injury claim on your behalf.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
When it comes down to a collision between a driver versus a cyclist or a pedestrian, the latter party is always going to suffer greater injuries as a result. Bicycle accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which can be severe and life-altering.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Even if they’re wearing a helmet, cyclists and walkers can – and frequently do – sustain substantial traumatic brain injuries, concussions and skull fractures in accidents with vehicles.
- Fractures and Bone Injuries: Broken bones (arms, legs and collarbones especially) are a common occurrence in an accident due to the brutal force of colliding with a motor vehicle or the ground.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Bicycle accidents can sometimes cause serious spinal trauma, possibly leading to partial or even complete paralysis, loss of sensation or impaired motor function. If your life has been completely altered due to an accident, Kanner & Pintaluga will fight to get you just compensation.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: These types of injuries can include bruises, cuts, sprains, strains and road rash. While seemingly less severe, soft tissue injuries can still invoke pain and discomfort in victims and will require medical attention.
- Internal Injuries: The force of the impact during an accident can cause organ damage or internal bleeding, necessitating urgent medical attention.
What Should You Do If You've Been Hurt in a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident by a Motor Vehicle?
- 1. Seek Medical Attention: Even if you think you’re fine, an immediate medical evaluation can ensure you haven’t been seriously injured.
- 2. Contact Law Enforcement: Report the accident to the police and provide them with accurate details of the incident. This documentation can be crucial for your insurance claim and any legal action that may follow.
- 3. Gather Evidence: If you are physically able, collect evidence from the accident scene, such as photographs of the area, damaged property and visible injuries. Eyewitness testimonies and their contact information can also be valuable.
- 4. Document Expenses: Keep track of all medical bills, transportation costs, lost wages and any other expenses related to the accident. This documentation will help support your personal injury claim.
- 5. Consult an Attorney: Kanner & Pintaluga has experienced accident attorneys who have worked many bicycle and pedestrian accidents and will help you pursue your case.
