Burlington Pedestrian And Bicycle Accident Attorneys Championing Your Recovery
In the dense traffic of Burlington and the Northeast Corridor, those outside of vehicles are the most vulnerable. A bicycle accident or a pedestrian injury can change a life in an instant. These types of accidents often leave victims with massive medical debt and physical trauma.
At Tang & Maravelis, P.C., we use our courtroom experience to hold negligent drivers accountable. Our team understands that these cases require a meticulous review of traffic laws and driver behavior to secure the compensation you need.
Common Causes Of Bicycle And Pedestrian Collisions
Most accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians happen because a motorist failed to share the road. Distracted driving, speeding and drunk driving are frequent factors, but specific traffic violations often define these claims. We investigate incidents involving:
- Violations of the right of way: Drivers who ignore yield signs or fail to respect the right of way in marked paths.
- Negligent driving near intersections: Motorists who break traffic laws and strike individuals who are legally crossing the street in a crosswalk accident.
- Dooring accidents: Vehicle occupants who open doors suddenly into a bike lane without checking for oncoming riders.
- Unsafe lane changes: Drivers who merge into a cyclist’s path without checking their blind spots.
Our attorneys review police reports and traffic citations to establish exactly how the driver’s negligence caused the collision.
The Severe Impact Of Nonvehicular Injuries
Without the protection of a steel frame, the human body absorbs the full force of a vehicle. These impacts often lead to catastrophic results. Our bicycle and pedestrian accident lawyers represent clients facing:
- Head injuries: Traumatic brain injuries that can occur even with proper safety gear
- Broken bones: Fractures in the legs, arms and hips that require surgery and long-term physical therapy
- Wrongful death: Fatalities caused by a driver’s recklessness that leave families with sudden, immense loss
We document the full extent of your injuries to make sure your settlement covers both your immediate hospital bills and your future lost income.

Securing your future begins with the right legal steps. To protect your claim, you should seek medical care immediately and speak with a lawyer before you talk to insurance adjusters.
