New York Bike Crashes with Motor Vehicles
The most common type of cycle or bike crash a rider in New York is bound to face will be one with a car, taxi, bus, or other motor vehicle. Despite New York City's new efforts for safe bike riding, riders are still faced with reckless drivers and being "doored" by vehicles. Riders are also subject to crashes due to street defects, such as defective street cuts and manhole covers and improperly maintained street hardware. If you have been injured in a bicycle crash, you are probably worried about who is going to pay your medical bills, your lost wages, and who will compensate you for your pain and suffering.
We believe it is important to contact an attorney quickly because there are many circumstances that require immediate action. No-Fault claims, which are how your medical bills will be paid, must be filed within 30 days of the collision. In order to do that, you will need to identify the other driver and their insurance company. Cases involving a municipality, such as the City of New York, usually require a Notice of Claim to be filed within 90 days of the accident. In addition, prompt investigation, photography, and other data need to be obtained as soon as possible. If the case involves a road defect or construction location, the condition can change within hours.
We offer free consultations, so there is no harm in calling or e-mailing us. We are always happy to provide some guidance, and have done so time and time again. We are committed to helping New York's cycling community.
