Walking or riding a bike is a great way to get to and from work. In heavily populated areas like Los Angeles, it can save a great amount of time and gas. It is also a great way to get exercise and enjoy the great outdoors. Everyone should be able to enjoy bike riding and walking without the fear of injury.

Unfortunately, it is common for pedestrians and bike riders to be injured. These injuries are often due to vehicles and trucks on the road. Being hit by a car or truck can have devastating consequences. Many victims suffer serious injuries with lifelong complications. 

It is important for victims of bike and pedestrian accidents in Los Angeles to know that compensation can be sought for their damages. Some of the damages that can be recovered include:

  • Medical bills – Dealing with any injury can cause medical bills to stack up. These medical bills can be recovered in a claim. They may include medical bills that have already been paid, as well as medical bills that may incur in the future.
  • Loss of income – Many times, being involved in a pedestrian accident leads to injuries that leave the victim unable to work. The wages lost due to the accident may be included as compensation.
  • Pain and suffering – Injuries can be very painful and agonizing. It can make living a normal life difficult. Pain and suffering damages are based on the severity of the pain and how long the victim will likely be in pain.
