Bicycle Accident Lawyer in NYC
Millions Won for Our Clients!
In recent years, bicycle riding has become more popular due to health benefits
and the ability to get through heavy traffic easily. Unfortunately, it
can also be a dangerous form of transportation due to unsafe drivers on
the road, including distracted drivers, drunk drivers, and negligent drivers.
Due to the small size of bicycles in comparison to other vehicles, even
the slightest collision at relatively slow speeds can lead to severe or
catastrophic physical injury or death.

Yes. If you suffered injuries in a bicycle accident due to unsafe road

premises liability law, so lawsuits are most often filed against maintenance companies, property
owners, or government agencies responsible for maintenance.
