Cycling & Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Tacoma
Maximizing Compensation for Cycling and Pedestrian Accident Victims
At Hester Law Group, our attorneys are all active cyclists and runners. We run for exercise, train for competition, and participate in triathlons, run races of all distances, and even travel occasionally for marathons. We personally understand the risks that many car and truck drivers create for cyclists and pedestrians, and each of us here has experienced close calls.
Because these issues are personal to us, we are all well-trained in the laws that protect bike riders, walkers, runners, and joggers throughout Washington State. We have a personal conviction to help victims of these types of accidents get the compensation they are entitled to and deserve. If you were injured on a bicycle or as a pedestrian, call our Tacoma cycling and pedestrian accident lawyers for a free consultation about getting the compensation you need.

Common Causes of Crosswalk Accidents
When drivers hit bicyclists or pedestrians, it is because they were not driving safely. Your recovery depends on obtaining the full compensation to which you are entitled, regardless of the driver’s admission of fault. Our personal injury lawyers have a strong reputation for obtaining the maximum settlements that help our clients get back up on their feet.
We can provide representation for injury circumstances involving:
- Negligent driving
- Bicycle equipment failure
- Unsafe sidewalks
While our experience certainly includes representing cyclists in Pierce and King Counties, you don’t have to have been injured in Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, or Fife to benefit from our services. We are licensed to practice anywhere in Washington and Idaho. We also have a wide range of experience representing western Washington cycling and pedestrian victims, as well as significant experience handling injured victims’ cases in eastern Washington and in other states.
Our focus is on your needs and your goals. During your free consultation, we will give you helpful information about how to proceed with your case. Most importantly, we can help you deal with insurance companies as they try to negotiate your settlement. If your case needs to go to trial, we are prepared to do so.

Understanding Crosswalk Accidents in Tacoma and Surrounding Areas
In Tacoma, where the vibrant streets are frequented by pedestrians and cyclists alike, crosswalk accidents can be a significant concern. With the city's commitment to improving pedestrian safety through initiatives by the City of Tacoma and local traffic management, it’s crucial for residents to be aware of the risks that still exist. Many crosswalks in the area may not have adequate signage or lighting, leading to dangerous situations for those on foot or on bicycles.
Local government resources, such as the Tacoma Police Department and the Washington State Department of Transportation, provide valuable information on traffic safety and accident prevention. However, despite these efforts, accidents still occur, often due to distracted driving or failure to yield at crosswalks. This can leave victims facing not only physical injuries but also emotional and financial burdens.
Residents of Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, and Fife may find themselves grappling with the aftermath of a crosswalk accident, including medical bills, lost wages, and the stress of dealing with insurance companies. Our team understands these pain points and is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of your situation. We are here to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve, allowing you to focus on recovery and getting back to your daily life.
Whether you were injured while crossing the street in downtown Tacoma or while biking through the scenic routes of Gig Harbor, we are ready to assist you. Our commitment to the local community means we are familiar with the specific challenges you face and are prepared to advocate for your rights. Don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to discuss your case and explore your options.
