How We Can Help
We will aggressively pursue your bicycle accident claim against all responsible parties. We will help discover and prove the cause of your accident by collecting important evidence and interviewing witnesses. It may be necessary to retain medical and financial experts to help prove and value your injuries and damages.
Our Suffolk County bike accident attorneys will use the evidence they have gathered and their claim value calculations in negotiations with insurance companies. Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible for claims, but they will often pay larger settlements to avoid the cost of going to trial.
Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicyclists face many perils on the road, such as distracted drivers, poorly maintained roads, and negligent electric scooter operators. Any of these or other dangers can lead to bicycle accidents and severe injuries including:
- Whiplash
- Spinal cord injuries
- Other neck and back injuries
- Road rash
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Fractured and broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Torn muscles and ligaments
Wrongful Death After a Crash
Bicycle accidents sometimes lead to fatal injuries, and surviving family members are left devastated. When someone’s negligence or misconduct leads to another person’s death, specific close family members may be entitled to compensation. Survivors may recover compensation for their losses, and recovery may be available for the decedent’s damages under certain circumstances as well.
Our compassionate attorneys know that these cases can be very emotional and overwhelming for surviving family members. However, wrongful death compensation can help families by providing them with financial security while holding the responsible party accountable.
