In bike crash cases, the cause of the accident is usually the driver's failure to look for bicyclists, especially on residential streets or where bike paths intersect with arterials or highways. Pedestrians who are struck by cars or trucks are very often small children or elderly persons who might not be as alert to the hazards of traffic as a healthy adult might be.

Under California law, the driver of a motor vehicle that injures a pedestrian is liable for all of the medical expenses incurred by the victim if the driver is negligent or at fault to even the slightest extent--even one percent. In our investigation of your pedestrian injury claim, we focus on the facts and circumstances of the accident that demonstrate any opportunity at all for the driver to have anticipated or avoided the accident.

Given the severity of injuries characteristic of pedestrian and bike accidents, we emphasize the importance of a thorough investigation and complete documentation of your physical damages. We help you find the treatment you need, even if the driver's insurer refuses to cover it. California personal injury attorney David Asch can help you recover the compensation you need to support your recovery in bicycle or pedestrian accident cases involving such injuries as the following:
