Phoenix Bike Accident and Pedestrian Knockdown Lawyers

Bicyclists and pedestrians are often hit when drivers of cars, trucks, and buses fail to pay yield the right of way at intersections and crosswalk. At the law office of Koplow & Patane, we investigate pedestrian knockdowns and bicycle accidents using a team of investigators to reconstruct an accident, measure skid marks, and interview eyewitnesses. Since distracted drivers often don't see a pedestrian or bicyclist until it is too late, they try to shift blame onto the victim by alleging "they came out of no where." Using forensic and investigative techniques, our lawyers can often determine if a motorist was speeding, whether a light was green, yellow or red and from what direction a car or truck was traveling in. When cell phone use may be involved, we subpoena the cell phone records of a driver to see if they were indeed talking on the phone at the time of an accident.

Avoiding being Misled by Insurance Claims Adjusters

Insurance companies are interested in decreasing as many claims pay-outs as possible. For profit and answerable to shareholders, insurance companies employ a number of tactics to reduce losses. Since the extent of soft tissue injuries -- as well as those to the head and neck -- can take weeks or months to fully manifest themselves, insurance agents try and settle claims as quickly as possible. If they know an injury victim does not have legal representation, they may ask you to sign over access to your medical records, ask you to make a statement to an attorney, or ask you to sign a settlement offer in exchange for agreeing not to enter into litigation.
