NY Bike Accident Law Firm
New York City is fairly unique in that the majority of adults do not own cars. Millions of individuals in the area rely on bicycles, public transportation and walking to get from place to place. While riding a bicycle offers a number of health benefits, there is little doubt that bicyclists have very few protections from motorists. When drivers turn in front of bicycles, open car doors in front of bicycles, or run bicycles off the road, bicyclists are at risk to suffer major injuries.
If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, or if you have lost a loved one in a bicycle accident, it is important to enlist the services of a dedicated, experienced personal injury law firm. The New York bicycle accident lawyers of Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff LLP have fought for injured people and surviving family members since the 1920s. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for people throughout New York City and beyond.
Bicyclists can suffer a number of severe injuries in a crash, including:
- Head injuries: Even if a bicyclist wears a helmet, he or she is still at risk for head injuries in a high-impact crash.
- Broken hands, wrists or arms: When bicyclists try to break their fall, their head, wrists and arms can be injured severely.
- Broken legs: The bicyclist's legs are often the point of impact in a crash. This can lead to tibia and fibula fractures. These injuries can require surgery to fully heal.
Any of these injuries can create substantial medical expenses, missed work and other problems. In the worst cases, these injuries cause permanent physical limitations. Our attorneys will find every source of compensation. Under New York law, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage does not cover bicycle accidents. Therefore, we will have to get the compensation you need from the negligent driver's insurance company. These companies will work hard to minimize what they pay in claims. In turn, we will work tirelessly to maximize what you recover in damages.
