Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
PERSONAL INJURY AND WRONGFUL DEATH REPRESENTATION
Perhaps the only thing more traumatic than being struck by a car is having it happen to a loved one. The victim and family suffer great hardships in recovering from such an accident, and life will never be the same if the injuries were catastrophic.
The Law Offices of Harris & Literski provide compassionate support to clients while aggressively pursuing maximum compensation. Our law firm handles personal injury auto accidents and wrongful death lawsuits in Livingston County and throughout southeast Michigan. If you or your child was struck by a negligent driver while walking or biking, contact us right away. Our lawyer will take prompt action to assert your rights.
FULL COMPENSATION FOR A PEDESTRIAN OR BICYCLE ACCIDENT
The driver and his or her insurance company, and even the police or bystanders, will commonly assign fault or partial blame to the victim. This could potentially prevent recovery of damages or reduce compensation by the percentage of the injured person’s comparative fault.
With more than 30 years of experience in motor vehicle accident cases, attorney John Harris knows how to counter this notion. We have used accident reconstructionists and other experts to show how the driver was at fault:
Encroaching on a crosswalk
Rolling through a stop sign or red light
Failing to yield when turning
Pulling out or backing up without looking
Texting while driving or otherwise distracted
Speeding in populated areas
We also spend a lot of time with clients to track their medical progress and understand how the injuries affect the victim and the family. Pedestrian and bike accidents often result in brain injury, broken bones, internal injuries or spinal injuries, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation. We pursue compensation for all costs of medical treatment or assisted care, past and future income, pain and suffering, and other applicable damages.
