Protecting Pedestrians and Cyclists in NJ

Pedestrians and bicyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. Under New Jersey law, drivers are required to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalks-and failure to do so is considered a violation. Cyclists also have the right to share the road and are protected by both traffic laws and common sense safety standards.


Despite these protections, distracted, impatient, or careless drivers often cause harm by:


  • Speeding through intersections
  • Ignoring bike lanes
  • Failing to yield when turning
  • Driving under the influence

Whether you were walking home from work or riding your bike to class, you deserve safety-and accountability when that's taken from you.

Your Legal Rights as a Pedestrian or Cyclist in NJ

If a driver violated traffic laws or acted carelessly, you may be entitled to full compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Rehabilitation or future medical costs

New Jersey follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault-as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. For example, jaywalking doesn't automatically eliminate your case, but it may reduce your compensation.
