Portland is known around the nation for its high use of public transit, bicycles and other transportation alternatives to relieve traffic congestion in the city. That doesn't mean that bike and pedestrian traffic is always seamlessly integrated into the traffic flow.
In fact, there's no question that some cyclists ride aggressively, and your lawyer needs to keep in mind a couple of litigation risks — the likelihood that the defense will allege the bike rider's own negligence in causing the accident, and the possibility that potential jurors will be biased against bike riders based on their own driving experience.
At Miller & Wagner, our first goal is to help you understand the value of your accident claim and the strengths and weaknesses of your case. Then we work to overcome any obstacles to collecting the compensation you have coming.
We can represent bike and pedestrian accident clients injured in a variety of circumstances, including such situations as:
- Crosswalk accidents
- Hit and run accidents
- Drunk driver accidents
- Injuries to children
- Injuries to elderly or otherwise vulnerable people
- Accidents resulting in brain injuries, with or without a helmet
- Accidents resulting in permanent or disabling injuries, such as spinal cord damage
- Fatal bike or pedestrian accidents
Careful attention to the damages aspect of your case represents a particular strength of our personal injury practice. Our ability to work effectively with treating physicians and consulting medical experts adds extra impact to your case both during settlement negotiations and at trial.
