Learn Your Rights if You Were Injured By a Negligent Driver

New York has never seen a time like this. Whether to avoid mass transit, for recreation, or just for the pure fun of it, New Yorkers are riding now more than ever.

One of the most common modes of alternative transportation in the City is a bike or other single-person vehicle, such as the Vespa, Revel or e-scooter. The list of benefits of these modes of transportation goes on and on: not only are they less expensive than a car, but they can be used to move straight through traffic, are easier to park, fun to ride, and bicycles offer the added benefit of physical well-being while commuting.

Common Causes of Bike Accidents and Crashes

Negligent and inattentive drivers cause the majority of crashes. Bike vs. car crashes can arise by negligently executed turns, opening car doors into the path of a cyclist or the simple failure of a driver to see a cyclist and to give the right of way. Such action by a driver can cause serious injury or death to a cyclist.

With the increased number of Uber, Lyft or other ride share vehicles, cyclist continue to become more vulnerable. Delivery trucks, including U.P.S. Trucks, Amazon Trucks and Federal Express vehicles also remain a hazard to cyclists as they attempt to move cargo and make deliveries around the City. A large part of our practice is to assist those injured in these types of crashes. This includes getting their medical bills paid, lost wages recovered, compensation for their bike, as well as obtaining compensation for the injury and impact the crash has had on their life as well as the life of their families.
