If you have been hit by a car while walking, biking, or using a scooter, you are likely to be significantly injured because you did not have the protection of an automobile. Even at lower speeds, pedestrians and cyclists struck by cars can suffer lifelong or fatal injuries—and these accidents are increasing as biking and scooters emerge as means of leisure and transportation in Raytown, Missouri.

Often, a car driver will blame a pedestrian or cyclist for being in the street and not looking out for their own safety. You may need a human factors expert who can help establish that you simply could not react quickly enough to get out of the way of a speeding automobile.
Bike and scooter accidents usually result from a defect in the roadway or from being hit by a car. Most often than not, the negligence rests with either the biker, the motorist, and/or the governmental entity that is responsible for maintaining the road.
