In an accident between a pedestrian and a car and a bicycle and a car, the car usually wins. When a truck or other large vehicle is involved, an accident is often fatal or catastrophic. Traumatic brain injury, serious back injury, amputation, and wrongful death are common results.

Bike and Pedestrian Accidents Caused by Negligence or Misconduct

Most accidents of this type are caused by the negligence of the motor vehicle driver. Serious injuries result when cars go up on the sidewalk, run stop signs and red lights, or make right turns without stopping. A bike accident injury can be caused by an auto driver opening the door without looking and hitting a bicyclist –called “dooring” by bike riders. This can throw a rider off the bike and into oncoming traffic, with serious consequences. Auto drivers who speed or operate recklessly in residential areas risk hitting children riding their bikes or walking to school. In all cases, back injury, traumatic brain injury, or death can be the outcome.

We have the ability to handle all types of pedestrian and bicycle injury cases. We understand the New York State uninsured motorists provisions that will provide coverage if you are hit by an uninsured driver. We have seen terrible grief in families whose child was killed by a negligently operated truck or a car driven by a drunk driver. We have handled their wrongful death claims.

We help people throughout the area, including pedestrians and bicyclists from Farmingdale, Franklin Square, and Brooklyn.
