Knowledgeable Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Just in the New York City metropolitan area, 25 bicyclists were killed and nearly 3,000 suffered minor to catastrophic injuries in car-versus-bicycle accidents in 2007, according to the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles.
While rider error or confusion led to many of those accidents, the DMV's data show that negligent drivers of cars, trucks and taxis are more often at fault. Paul Ajlouny & Associates can get investigators to the scene to secure proof that the driver was distracted, failed to yield when turning, ran a red light or otherwise caused the accident. If the insurance company won't offer a fair settlement, we will pursue your rights at trial with a well-documented case.
We have represented bicycle riders who were run over, rear-ended, sideswiped by inattentive drivers. We work with doctors and other professionals to determine appropriate damages for broken limbs, head injuries, back and neck injuries.
Our firm represents all victims of bicycle accidents, including:
- Commuters riding to work
- Families on a leisure bike ride
- Mounted couriers and messengers
- Cycling enthusiasts
- Children riding bikes
