Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

Walkers and Bike Riders Are The Most Vulnerable

Perhaps no one is more vulnerable to suffering a serious injury from an accident than pedestrians and bike riders. Although Toronto has created designated bike lanes throughout the city, most streets do not have them. And even though there are marked crosswalks at many intersections, pedestrians are struck by vehicles that didn’t yield to them nearly every day.

The simple fact is that throughout Ontario, city streets are designed for vehicles, not cyclists or pedestrians.

Our bicycle accident and pedestrian injury lawyers believe that everyone has an equal right to use the streets and roadways safely. They couple this with knowing how to help you navigate the complicated accident benefit forms as well as bringing legal action against whoever injured you.

So, if you or someone you know has been injured riding a bike or as a pedestrian, call the bike and pedestrian accident lawyers here at Gosai Law today.

The most common bike and pedestrian accidents that can cause injury are:

“Dooring,” where a car door opens and a cyclist hits it
Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk
Traffic, road rage, and violence
Distracted driving by the operator of a car, van, truck, bus or taxi
Carelessness at blind intersections or on curves in the road
Not knowing the law requiring 1-meter space when passing a bike
Dog Attacks
