Chattanooga Attorneys: Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Motorists have an entire metal shield surrounding them when involved in a car accident - yet serious injuries still result. The only protection that pedestrians, joggers or bicyclists have is potentially a bike helmet or padded protective gear. As a result, when a pedestrian or bicyclist is hit by a car, truck or other vehicle, the injuries are almost always severe, if not fatal. The attorneys at Stulce & Yantis in Chattanooga provide legal expertise and compassionate guidance to help accident victims and their families recover compensation following a bike crash or pedestrian knockdown.

Recovering Compensation after a Bicycle or Pedestrian Accident
Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians who are in a bike lane or pedestrian crossing. However, even if a pedestrian crosses the street outside of a crosswalk, the motorist does not have a right to ignore the pedestrian. Our attorneys analyze the comparative negligence of the individuals involved in the accident and fight to recover the full compensation possible on behalf of injured clients.
Our attorneys handle all types of accident cases involving pedestrians and bicyclists, including hit-and-run accidents, uninsured motorist accidents, pedestrian accidents involving children and accidents on the freeway in which an innocent witness to an accident is struck while helping other accident victims.
