Walking or riding a bicycle instead of driving can be a cost-effective, healthy way of getting around. Unfortunately, these options can also present certain risks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that about 6,000 pedestrians are killed and even more are injured in traffic accidents in an average year. Riding a bicycle can also be a risky endeavor, especially along busy stretches of road.
At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we understand that pedestrian and bicyclist accidents are often caused by the negligence or inattention of others. Our experienced team of lawyers works hard to get individuals injured in bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents the compensation they deserve.
Fighting for Our Clients Rights in White Plains
Pedestrian and bike accidents can happen to anyone. Unfortunately, even if you are fully aware of your surroundings and behaving safely, others around you may not be so responsible. While these types of accidents can happen for almost countless reasons, some of the most common causes of pedestrian and bicycle accidents occur due to:
- Distracted drivers: The issue of distracted driving continues to be a major problem in New York and Connecticut, as well as the rest of the country. Drivers who are distracted by their phone, GPS, radio, or passengers can put the lives of bicycle riders and pedestrians in danger.
- Traffic violations: Drivers who are speeding or otherwise not following traffic laws may not have time to react quickly enough to avoid colliding with a pedestrian or cyclist.
- Drunk driving: Drunk driving remains a major threat to pedestrian and cyclist safety.
- Pedestrian or cyclist error: Oftentimes, the fault for an accident does not lie with just one party. For example, a pedestrian may not be paying attention to his or her surroundings when crossing the street when he or she is hit by a speeding motorist. It is important to remember that even if you were partially at fault for your accident, you may still be able to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.

Thank you to Joe Peters. My first call after my son was in a terrible bike/car accident. With him in the ICU, Joe was able to give my Daughter in law the peace of mind she needed. And the first time I had called him about a different Bike accident, he returned my call from the airport on his way to his vacation – that was service way above and beyond – and so much appreciated.
Thank you for the personal attention I needed at a most difficult time in my life.

Mr Peters and Ms. Cahill are absolutely phenomenal professionals. I have had an exceptional experience with both of them. Not only do they exemplify deep legal knowledge and strategic insight, but they also bring an unmatched level of professionalism, empathy, and integrity to everything they do. They take the time to truly listen, explain complex matters clearly, and always act in their clients’ best interests. Beyond their legal expertise, they are genuinely kind, approachable, and trustworthy individuals—rare qualities that make all the difference. I can’t recommend them highly enough; anyone would be lucky to have them in their corner.

Several Years ago, I was in a horrific car accident. My dear friend was driving and was killed in the accident. I was hurt very badly as a passenger, and spent a fair amount of time in the hospital and then home recuperating from a TBI injury. Mike Jones represented me and was there from the start. He is now my Trustee and I am very happy that he is not only a really good lawyer, but an honest and decent human being. Please feel free to reach out to me any time to discuss Mike’s abilities.
