Pedestrian and Biking Accidents

Las Vegas Attorney: Pedestrian and Biking Accidents

The Las Vegas Strip is shared by taxi cabs, rental cars, limos and pedestrians. The streets and highways of Nevada host many avid cyclists. Red Rock Canyon has excellent dirt bike trails. Inevitably, pedestrian and biking accidents pit unprotected human bodies against tons of steel and rock.

Pedestrian and biking accident injury claims

Pedestrians and bikers hit by cars and buses typically suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), a crushed spinal cord, multiple fractures or a broken pelvis. What is the loss of an active young adult who, as a result of a back or neck injury suffered in a bike crash, will never walk again? What does the family of a pedestrian killed by a hit-and-run driver deserve in compensation for their loss of love and support?

As personal injury attorneys, we at Harris Schwartz Lawyers in Las Vegas turn to economic experts to help us answer those questions on behalf of a client, and to scientific and accident reconstruction experts to provide the testimony that will hold those responsible accountable for the tragic consequences of their negligence.

If you or a member of your family was injured in a pedestrian or biking accident, either as a visitor to Las Vegas or as a resident, several policies may cover your medical expenses — your health insurance, the uninsured motorist and medical provisions in your auto insurance policy or that of another household member, and auto insurance covering the vehicle that hit you.

Our attorneys will also investigate the possibility of a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor of defective equipment, and other personal injury claims. It is important to begin these investigations early in order to preserve your right to maximum compensation.

You pay nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf

Our fees are contingent on the success of your case — you pay us nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf.
