Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

There are many times that cars and truck forget to share the road with Bicyclists and yield to pedestrians. Either type of accident may result in serious injuries, medical expenses, time out of work and loss in your enjoyment of life. Common cases in this area may involve:

  • Bicycle accidents with cars
  • Bicycle and car collisions at an intersection
  • Cars or trucks in the bicycle lane
  • Street defects and Pothole Bicycle accidents
  • Child bicycle accidents
  • Child pedestrian accidents, and
  • Bicycle and Pedestrian premises liability claims.

Many people do not know where the coverage for such a claim would come from. This is something the attorneys at Gale & Laughlin would handle while you concentrate on getting healed.

Even if the driver fled the scene you still may have legal recourse. If the driver is never found you still may be able to file for underinsured motorist coverage through your own auto insurance policy.

You may also be able to get your medical bills paid by your auto insurance even if you were not in your car, if you are struck by the car of a negligent driver.

Testimonials

There are 2 sides to every story. Side one is that I found myself in need of some legal assistance. Side two, and by far the more important side, is that I contacted Gale & Laughlin to represent me. I pass their law offices regularly on Hwy 35 in Hazlet so being local they were my go-to choice. I called the number, explained my situation and was invited to come in for a no obligation in-person chat. All the "rules and regulations" of hiring an attorney were explained clearly to me and I immediately got a sense that they were the people to help me so I retained their services at that first encounter. The attorney assigned to my case was Craig Laughlin who was so knowledgeable with my particular circumstances, it was instantly reassuring. There are so many positive adjectives you could use to describe Craig I'll limit myself to the top few: professional, thorough, kind, caring, and funny. All the staff I dealt with were friendly and courteous, they knew who I was when I called, responded to messages I left by return and kept me fully informed on the progress of my case. If you ever find yourself in need of legal counsel, I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Gale & Laughlin 6 out of 5 stars!
