NYC Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Midtown Manhattan Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Riding a bicycle can be dangerous anywhere in the State, but in New York City, with crowded streets, vehicles crossing into protected bicycle lanes, and parked car doors opening into their path, New York City cyclists riders face additional hazards. Despite reduced speed limits, increased bicycle lanes and other safety measures, the number of serious bicycle accidents in New York City only continues to climb. According to the New York Times, by August 2019, there were almost twice the number of cyclists killed than in the prior year. To be sure, those deaths represent just a small fraction of the other serious bicycle accidents and injuries occurring on New York City streets.

Accountability And Fault In Bicycle Accident Cases

It may be surprising to learn that in New York, if you are a cyclist struck by a motor vehicle, in most circumstances, the vehicle’s car pays for your medical bills, lost wages and certain other benefits, regardless of fault. So if you are involved in a motor vehicle vs. bicycle accident, be sure the police are called and an accident report is prepared. You should never admit fault before speaking with a lawyer. Be cooperative, but do not make any statements to insurance company representatives without speaking with a lawyer first.
