Ensuring We Build Your Babylon Bicycle Accident Case in a Timely Manner

Timing is crucial following a bicycle accident in Babylon, New York. There are state-imposed deadlines you must comply with. Timelines for personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death lawsuits are codified in New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 and Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1. You have: 
  • Three years to file a personal injury lawsuit
  • Two years to file a wrongful death suit
It is important to note that while the statutes cited above are the most frequently applicable statutes of limitations for bicycle accident cases, a shorter statute may apply to your case. By taking advantage of a free case review with our firm you can learn exactly what deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are. You must act before time runs out. Otherwise, your right to recover compensation from the other party could be in jeopardy. This statutory deadline isn’t the only reason you should call us to get to work on your case sooner rather than later. We’ll need to speak to witnesses and collect surveillance video that captured the bicycle accident, too. Memories fade, and footage can be destroyed after a few weeks. Accessing the resources and evidence we need while it’s still fresh will enable your bicycle accident attorney in Babylon to build the strongest case.

Bicycle Accidents Can Lead to Severe Injury

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that bicycle accidents make up two percent of America’s traffic fatalities, although cycling trips are only one percent of all trips in the US. According to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS), 1,084 people died in these crashes in 2022. Those who survive their accidents often suffer severe injuries, including:
  • Nerve injuries, known as biker’s arm
  • Road rash
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Burns
  • Spinal cord injury (SCI)
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Strains and sprains
  • Soft tissue injuries, like whiplash
Negligent drivers often cause these crashes through:
  • Opening doors into traffic without checking first (“dooring”)
  • Failure to yield
  • Distracted driving
  • Driving drowsy
  • Drunk driving
  • Failure to keep a safe distance
  • Speeding
  • Poor lane changes or merges
  • Poor left turns
Our team will identify the root cause of the crash and go after the responsible party. If more than one party was to blame, we will pursue them based on their percentage of fault. That way, you will be able to get the recovery you deserve.
