Pedestrian & bicycle accident lawyers in Nashville
Struck as a pedestrian or cyclist? Talk to an experienced Nashville personal injury attorney — call 24/7.
Pedestrians and cyclists have no protection in a collision with a vehicle. Injuries are often severe — fractures, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury — and the legal issues overlap: who had the right of way, whether the driver was distracted, what the insurance covers.
Call Personal Injury Legal Centers and we will connect you with an attorney who handles these cases.

What callers say
Four short accounts from callers who were matched with an attorney.
★★★★★
Called at 2am after an accident. Within a few minutes I was talking to a real attorney in my area. They took my case the next morning.
★★★★★
The insurance company was lowballing me. The attorney they matched me with took over and I ended up with far more than the first offer.
★★★★★
I didn’t know where to start. The team on the phone walked me through what to do next and got me connected to an attorney the same day.
★★★★★
Straightforward process. I was surprised an actual attorney called me back within an hour of my first call.
Questions
Pedestrian & cyclist questions
What to know about right-of-way, fault, and coverage.
The driver says I was jaywalking. Can I still recover?
Often, yes. Even if you were partly at fault, many states allow recovery. And drivers are required to avoid hitting pedestrians where possible — an attorney will investigate the actual facts.
I was hit by a driver with no insurance. What options do I have?
Your own auto policy may include uninsured-motorist coverage that applies when you were walking or riding. An attorney can review what’s available.
Do I need to file a police report?
If you are hurt, yes — and get medical care quickly. Both the police report and medical records matter for a later claim.
