Hurt In A Bike Accident At Night?

Many people in the Seattle area choose bicycling as an inexpensive and healthy way to commute to and from work while avoiding traffic. Unfortunately for some people, this means biking home in the dark, particularly in the winter months when it gets dark earlier. Night is a time when motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians have a harder time seeing cyclists, especially if they aren’t properly lit, are wearing dark clothing or do not have reflectors or reflective clothing. It might also be difficult for cyclists to see hazardous road conditions that may lay ahead, such as potholes or cracks in the road.

If you have been injured in an accident while riding your bike at night or have lost a loved one under those circumstances, you and your family may be able to pursue compensation for your losses and injuries. To secure the settlement that you and your family deserve, it is important to seek the representation of a qualified bike accident attorney in Seattle. For four decades, Pendergast Law attorneys have successfully represented Seattle-area injury victims, and we welcome the chance to do the same in your case.
