Why You Need a Lawyer After a Brooklyn Bike Accident

Cycling accidents are often high-stake cases. Why? Because you’re probably suffering from severe, if not catastrophic, injuries after being hit by a car on your bike. The medical bills will be high, and you may lose out on a lot of income. A lawyer fights for you to get the maximum compensation possible to cover these costs.

Our bicycle accident attorneys deal with insurance companies regularly. We know the laws, processes, and tricks they pull. Having us communicate with the insurers also frees up your time and reduces your stress. You can focus on healing.

We know how to get you the best financial recovery. From day one, we investigate and collect evidence. We prioritize building you a strong case, which may include hiring an expert or two. We carefully evaluate your physical, emotional, and financial injuries, enabling us to place value on your claim.

We’re also experienced negotiators. When it comes down to it, a skilled negotiator is how you win max compensation for your injuries.

We Find Evidence of Negligence

To win compensation after a bicycle accident in Brooklyn, you have to prove someone else was careless or reckless. We refer to this as negligence, and it has four elements:

  1. The other person owed you a duty of care
  2. That person breached their duty of care
  3. Their actions caused an accident
  4. You suffered injuries

Every driver has a duty of ordinary care. They have to obey New York traffic laws and drive carefully to avoid accidents.

Common Types of Evidence

During our in-depth investigation of the crash, we gather all types of evidence, such as:

  • Police reports
  • Photos
  • Video footage
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Medical records
  • Expert medical opinions
  • Accident reconstruction expert’s findings

We use this evidence to prove the driver violated a traffic law or was, in some other way, careless or reckless behind the wheel.

We Tackle Cases Involving Serious & Catastrophic Injuries

We know you’re dealing with a lot right now. You or a loved one may be in treatment and recovery from:

We want to reduce your stress during the claim process. That way, you can focus on your recovery. Let us handle the insurance company, prove your case, and file a lawsuit if it’s in your best interests.

Were You Wearing a Helmet?

New York law doesn’t require adults to wear helmets while riding a bike. Failing to wear a helmet can lead to more severe injuries in a crash, though. That’s why the at-fault driver might argue you were negligent for not wearing one.

You can still recover compensation even if you weren’t wearing a helmet. Don’t let a negligent driver and insurance company tell you otherwise. If they’re saying you were negligent, call us for help today.
