Protect Your Rights After an Accident in Pennsylvania
Bicycles and pedestrians have become more prevalent on the roadways in Pennsylvania over the past few years, especially in urban areas. Bicyclists and pedestrians have a right to share the road with cars, trucks and other automobiles. Unfortunately, they are also more vulnerable in accidents, which often lead to serious and life-threatening injuries. Bicyclists and pedestrians who have been involved in these accidents need experienced representation.

With more than 20 years of experience representing the victims of personal injury cases, our attorneys can advise clients on their insurance coverage and the compensation that they may be entitled to after an accident.

Factors to Consider in Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Bicyclists and pedestrians who are involved in accidents are more likely to be seriously or fatally injured than drivers and passengers in motor vehicles. In some cases, these accidents happen because the rules and signs of the road were not clear. In others, automobile drivers failed to notice the bicycle or walker in a crosswalk or on the side of the road until it was too late.
Bicyclists and pedestrians are deemed full tort in the state of Pennsylvania, regardless of whether they carry full tort coverage on their auto insurance policies. In cases where automobile drivers do not have insurance or in hit-and-run accidents where the drivers are never identified, bicyclists and pedestrians must rely upon their own policies and their uninsured and underinsured coverage.
If these victims do not have their own auto insurance, they may still be eligible under the Pennsylvania Assigned Claims Plan.
