Protecting the Rights of Pedestrians and Bike Accident Victims
In the high-traffic suburban communities that surround San Francisco and Oakland, it is no secret that many motorists resent having to share the roads with bicycle riders, skaters, pedestrians and joggers. In accident cases, the insurance companies are perfectly willing to exploit these resentments by resisting full payment on the injury claims of people hurt in pedestrian or bicycle accidents.

At the Law Offices of Vincent J. Scotto, III, we have helped bike riders, runners and others on foot achieve fair settlements and jury verdicts after they have been hit by cars, trucks or buses. To learn how you can benefit from our 30 years of experience with the litigation of bicycle and pedestrian accident cases, contact us for a free consultation in San Mateo or Martinez.
Most of the cases we have handled have involved efforts by insurance defense lawyers to force inadequate settlements in bike or pedestrian injury cases. They will sometimes try to use evidence of failure to yield, jaywalking or other traffic violations in order to minimize the liability of an inattentive or aggressive driver. The defense might also try to downplay the severity of the injuries suffered by the accident victim.
Our attorneys know how to anticipate and avoid the obstacles that the lawyer of a negligent driver will place in the path of an accident victim seeking fair compensation. We protect the value of our clients' claims through careful investigation of the facts, expert testimony on liability or medical issues, and constant attention to the progress of our clients' recovery from their injuries.
When we develop a sound estimate of what it will take to compensate a client fairly for injuries suffered through negligence, we do not recommend settlement for a lesser amount just to wrap up the file. We concentrate instead on proving your right to full compensation.
