Long Island, New York City, The Bronx and Queens are amongst some
of the communities in New York that host millions of pedestrians and
bicyclists. Unfortunately, drivers of private automobiles, taxis, and buses
often fail to take proper precautions to protect vulnerable walkers and bikers.
Victims of bicycle or pedestrian accidents, whether wearing a
helmet or not, are likely to suffer from a serious of extremely severe
injuries. Some of these catastrophic injuries may cause the victim to be
permanently disabled, have broken limbs such as a knee or pelvic fracture that
may later lead to arthritis, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or a spinal cord
injury that result in quadriplegia or paraplegia.
If an
individual was hit by a car while walking or on a bicycle, there may be several
sources of compensation available for the medical bills, lost wages, and other
losses that result from a serious injury. This is true even if the accident was
caused by a hit and run driver or the victim was not in a crosswalk.
Our lawyers
may ask about your health insurance, your auto insurance policy's medical and
uninsured motorist provisions, a policy covering the driver of the auto, or a
policy covering another member of your household. If your bike accident
resulted from defective
equipment,
or an unsafe bike
route,
you may have additional claims available.
If a member of your family was seriously injured or killed in a
pedestrian or bike accident, it is important to discuss your claim with a
lawyer before signing any settlement agreement. Please call
877-881-7185 or e-mail our
Garden City, New York, office to arrange a free consultation
with one of our personal injury attorneys. It is our goal to see that every
client at our firm recovers full and fair compensation for his or her loss.
