Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents Attorney in Englewood, New Jersey
Experienced Injury Counsel for Pedestrian Accident Victims
Most pedestrian knockdowns and bicycle accidents happen because car, truck, and bus drivers don’t pay attention at intersections or see them on the side of the road. As a result, it’s not uncommon for drivers to claim a pedestrian or bicyclist ran into them rather than the other way around.
At the Law Offices of Jeffrey I. Amtman, we work with accident investigators in determining how a pedestrian knockdown or bicycle accident happened. Since New Jersey is a 51% modified negligence state, you can’t recover damages if the court finds you are 51% or more at fault. As a result, insurance companies often try and place as much blame as possible on pedestrians and bicyclists in the hopes of reducing the amount paid to them in claims. As your attorney, Jeffrey I. Amtman has the experience and resources necessary to fight insurance companies that are interested in confusing the issues and denying you a fair claim.
