Print PDF Representing Pedestrians and Cyclists in North Carolina
People often overlook the dangers that are inherent in traveling on our roadways, particularly in urban areas. Motor vehicles accidents are not the only threat on our North Carolina roadways. Pedestrians and cyclists face a similar risk of accidents and often face serious injuries when they collide with a vehicle on the street. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident as a pedestrian or while riding a bicycle or scooter, you are likely facing exorbitant medical bills and a long recovery. A North Carolina pedestrian accident attorney can help you get the compensation you need to protect your future and rebuild your life.
North Carolina Law Protects Everyone Sharing the Road
Motorists tend to dominate the road, but North Carolina law recognizes the rights of cyclists, pedestrians, and other users to share our roadways. For example, motorists must yield the right of way to pedestrians while they are in a crosswalk. Similarly, motorists must provide at least two feet of space when passing cyclists. A North Carolina pedestrian accident attorney will identify the specific laws that apply to your case.

What Your Accident Claim May Be Worth
Many accident victims fail to realize the full value of their claim, only to later discover that they can’t pay all of their bills. If you’ve been injured, you may be able to fight for compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Other losses directly related to your accident, such as increased transportation expenses
- Pain and suffering
Your health insurance may cover some of your medical expenses but not your lost income, pain and suffering, or other losses. Our attorneys will evaluate your case and give you a fair estimate of what your case may be worth to help you make important legal decisions.

- Ronnie & Patricia“We would like to express our gratitude to you (Hunt Willis) for accepting our case. First of all, when I called this law firm, a very sweet and kind lady answered the telephone and gave me assurance by asking and going over the accident with me, while my husband was in the hospital. I felt assured I was doing the right thing for us. She was so helpful in so many ways. What a professional lady. Secondly, we are much pleased that you have settled this case with the insurance company to receive the proper amount to assist us in so many ways. My husband and I are very happy with you and the firm in handling our case. You made us have confidence in your professional and integrity along with your assistant Ms. Routh, when you both came to see us in our home, in which we saw your compassion and thoughtfulness at that time. We will never forget what you have done for us, and we thank the lord for directing me to contact this firm. I’m glad I did.”
