Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Attorney
Helping Injured Walkers & Cyclists Across Kosciusko and Attala County
If You Were Hit by a Vehicle in Mississippi, You Have Rights
Getting hit by a car while walking through a Kosciusko crosswalk or riding your bike along MS-35 or the Natchez Trace can change your life in seconds. Unlike drivers, pedestrians and cyclists have no barrier between themselves and a moving vehicle—making injuries in these crashes especially severe. At Frank Shaw Law Firm, we stand with Mississippi’s most vulnerable road users.
As a
pedestrian accident lawyer serving Mississippi, we help people across
Attala County get the medical care and compensation they need after being struck by a negligent driver. Whether you were walking to school, riding home from work, or out for a Sunday ride, we’ll make sure your story gets heard—and your injuries are taken seriously.
Walkers and Cyclists Face Greater Risks—And Deserve Full Legal Protection
The roads around Kosciusko aren’t always built for safety. Limited sidewalks, wide intersections, and fast-moving traffic create dangerous conditions—especially for those on foot or on two wheels. We’ve seen accidents happen:
Near busy school zones and intersections with no marked crosswalk
Along residential streets where drivers don’t expect foot traffic
On rural highways where bicycles share space with speeding vehicles
In hit-and-run incidents, where the driver flees the scene
Drivers have a duty to watch for people crossing streets or riding in bike lanes. When they fail to pay attention—because they’re texting, speeding, or simply not looking—we work to hold them accountable.
What Are Your Rights After a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident?
In Mississippi, the law requires drivers to exercise due care around pedestrians and cyclists. If a driver fails to yield, runs a stop sign, speeds through a neighborhood, or hits someone in a marked crosswalk, they can be held responsible for the harm caused.
As your
bicycle injury attorney in Kosciusko, we help clients pursue compensation through:
We investigate thoroughly—reviewing the accident report, locating any nearby security footage, speaking to witnesses, and working with medical professionals to document injuries.
The at-fault driver’s auto insurance
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, if the driver fled or didn’t carry enough insurance
Personal injury lawsuits, if necessary, to recover full damages
Common Injuries We See in These Cases
When a car hits a pedestrian or cyclist, the result is often a serious injury. Even at low speeds, a collision can cause:
Broken bones and fractures
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries
Facial injuries or dental trauma
Road rash and lacerations
Emotional trauma and PTSD
We understand how overwhelming the recovery process can be—multiple doctor visits, physical therapy, lost wages, and the strain of everyday life. Our job is to fight for the financial support you need to move forward with dignity.
These Cases Deserve Personal Attention—And That’s What We Deliver
Every client we represent gets personal care, clear answers, and relentless advocacy. We’re not a billboard law firm. We’re part of this community. When we take your case, we walk with you every step of the way.
