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.
