Stamford Bicycle Accidents Attorney
Stamford Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Attorney
When a car or other motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian or bicyclist, the force of impact and the lack of protection can cause the person to sustain very serious injuries. The Law Offices of Wesley M. Malowitz is dedicated to helping injured clients overcome this trauma and the challenges following a pedestrian or bicycle accident. With over 15 years of experience, I know what it takes to advocate for accident victims and their families. If you have been involved in a bicycle accident or pedestrian accident, contact my Stamford, Connecticut, law firm to schedule a free case evaluation: 866-539-5781 or 203-517-0110.
Pedestrians Have Rights Too
Many bicyclists, joggers and pedestrians choose not to pursue an injury claim for fear that they will be told the accident was their fault. While Connecticut laws mandate that drivers must stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, drivers are also obligated to see and be aware of the pedestrian - even those not within a crosswalk. Under Connecticut's comparative negligence law, pedestrians may be considered up to 50 percent at fault for the accident and still recover compensation.
I handle all types of pedestrian and bicycle accidents, including accidents involving:
- Pedestrians or bicycles hit by cars
- Pedestrians or bicycles hit by trucks
- Pedestrians or bicycles hit by vans, SUVs or other vehicles
- Hit and run accidents
Working to Maximize Your Financial Recovery
As an experienced car accident attorney, I recognize the need to thoroughly investigate the accident. However, there is often far more investigation necessary in cases involving a bike accident or pedestrian injury. I move quickly to recover evidence before it disappears. I secure witness statements, obtain scene photographs and maps, and analyze traffic patterns and lighting sequences to prove your case. I work with experts to determine if other factors, such as weather, high traffic, faulty traffic lights or defective road design may have contributed to the accident. I will take all necessary steps to fully develop your case so that I am prepared to negotiate with the insurance company or proceed to trial.
