All motor vehicle accidents do not involve two or more automobiles. Often times these accidents involve a single automobile striking a pedestrian or bicyclist. These injured pedestrians and bicyclists have the same legal rights against the at-fault driver as those involved in automobile accidents involving two or more vehicles. In fact, depending on the circumstances, injured pedestrians and bicyclists may have even more legal rights afforded to them than those injured as drivers or passengers in motor vehicles. As for the damages suffered by the injured victim, the injuries are often not only physical in nature, but can also include economic loss due to lost wages and medical bills. Many injured victims also suffer from associated mental anguish, including a decreased enjoyment of life. Regardless of how you feel immediately following an accident, you should seek the counsel of an experienced lawyer right away. Certain injuries may not manifest themselves until days after the accident and, by this time, important physical evidence can be lost and witnesses may become harder to find. Also, even minor aches and pains can often times be an indication of a more significant injury. Therefore, even if you think your injury may be minor in nature, it is important that you seek medical attention right away.
