New York City Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Attorneys Helping Bicycle Accident Victims

With increasing gas prices, shortage of parking spaces and expensive parking lots, many New Yorkers have turned to riding bicycles as a preferred mode of transportation. It is a convenient and inexpensive way to travel on the busy streets of New York. But this convenience also accompanies with it dangers that can be devastating to cyclists. The sad truth is that many motorists do not respect a bicyclist’s right to share the roads, leading to serious and life altering accidents.

At Gersowitz, Libo & Korek P.C., our New York City bicycle attorneys are avid supporters of bicycles as both a more convenient mode of transportation and as an enjoyable pass time. This is precisely why we have made it our goal to utilize this website as a means of providing bicyclists and motorists with the information they need for a new era of safer, saner travel that must be shared by various types of commuters.

Common Bicycle Accidents

In the majority of cases, bike accidents are caused by the negligent driving of other motorists on the road. The following are some common types of collisions that bicyclists may be injured in:

  • A motor vehicle driver turning directly in front of a bicyclist
  • A driver’s failure to yield at an intersection or running a stop sign or red light
  • A driver’s inattention to the cyclist on the road
  • A motor vehicle driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • A driver entering the street onto traffic in front of a bicyclist
    Regardless of what type of negligence caused your New York City bicycle accident, our team of dedicated lawyers will work hard to get you the compensation that you deserve.

New York City Bicycle Accident Injuries

Because bicycles lack the protection of a steel frame, seat belts, and airbags, the majority of bicycle accident victims sustain serious injuries, such as:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Head injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Internal bleeding
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Serious scarring and disfigurement
  • Permanent disability
  • Death

These types of injuries are not only painful, but can also affect your ability to work or perform basic daily tasks. Without the ability to work, many victims are unable to pay their extensive medical bills and maintain their financial livelihood.
We understand that bicyclists more so than anyone need attorneys because they may have no other recourse if they are to suffer serious injuries. This is exactly why we make it our top priority to help you get the compensation you need.
