Local Attorney Standing Up For Injured Bicyclists And Pedestrians
With miles and miles of scenic countryside roads and paths, the Shelbyville and Frankfort areas are great places for people to ride and walk for fun and exercise. However, when you’re out for a ride or walk, you always need to remember to look out for cars, trucks and other commercial vehicles.
When drivers are unable to share the road, serious accidents and deaths can occur. At Salyers Law, PLLC, I, Ben Salyers, work with injured cyclists and pedestrians throughout the area who are hurt due to someone else’s negligence. As a personal injury attorney with over 20 years of experience, I know how to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. I’ll work with you and your insurance provider to keep your medical costs down so you can focus on your recovery instead of stressing out about money.
Look Out For Reckless And Negligent Driving
After any type of car crash, the at-fault drivers often say they didn’t see the other vehicle in time. It’s much the same with accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians. Drivers have to learn to share the road with bicycles, and they always need to look out for pedestrians crossing the street.
I will get to work to determine what the driver did wrong, including:
- Speeding
- Making a left turn in front of oncoming bicyclists or pedestrians
- Driving in a bike lane
- Turning right in front of a bike or pedestrian
- Opening a door in front of an oncoming bicyclist
- Not stopping for pedestrians in a crosswalk
- Driving drunk
- Texting while driving
Negligent drivers should be held responsible for their actions. If you’re injured in this kind of accident as a pedestrian or cyclist, you deserve to seek compensation that can help you recover. I will diligently work to build a solid case with strong evidence to back up your claim. You can’t always rely on the insurance company to have your best interests at heart. They can take shortcuts to give you a settlement that doesn’t take the full extent of your injuries into account. Let me advocate on your behalf to hold them responsible so you receive what you deserve. I’m unafraid to take cases to trial when necessary to fight for your rights.
