Bicycle Versus Motor Vehicle Accidents
Bicycle accidents are incredibly serious and sadly, all too common. According to the New York Department of Transportation, in 2018 there were over 4,300 bicyclists versus motor vehicle-related injuries in New York City alone. In the bicycle versus motor vehicle case we handle, the motorist acted negligently and caused the accident. Under New York law, when a motorist’s negligent, careless, or reckless behavior causes an accident, the injured victim has the right to hold them liable. We will help you do that, either by filing an insurance claim and negotiating a fair settlement or taking your case to trial. Some of the most common ways a driver’s negligence leads to a bicycle accident include:- Opening a vehicle door into the bicyclist’s path
- Failure to yield to an oncoming bicyclist
- Not giving a bicyclist enough space when passing
- Failure to look for bicyclists, especially when turning or changing lanes
- Distracted driving
- Drunk or drugged driving
