What a Bicycle Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
Bicycle accidents involving cars, trucks or busses almost always result in the bicycle rider suffering severe injury. Although motorists are supposed to treat bicyclists with the same courtesy and apply the same rules of the road as they would with any other vehicle operator according to the New York State Department of Transportation, they do not always do so.
If you were taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital after the accident or if you are currently under a physician’s care at home, the last thing you need is to deal with the defendant’s insurance adjuster. You should be able to focus on healing and taking care of yourself.
An Oceanside bicycle accident lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will take care of the details to get you the compensation you deserve.
