Bicycle accidents are far more common in New York City & Westchester than you may think. Unfortunately, these accidents also alter the course of many people’s lives every single year. If you’ve been hurt as a cyclist, you should consider speaking with an experienced New York City & Westchester County personal injury attorney today.

BICYCLE ACCIDENT FACTORS

Many factors can lead to a serious bicycle accident occurring. Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents are unsafe road conditions, such as debris left in the road or negligent signage, inclement weather conditions, such as snow, ice, or rain, and, of course, driver and cyclist negligence. Though any one of these factors can cause a serious bicycle accident, bicycle accidents are most frequently a result of negligence. Some of the most common causes of driver negligence that leads to bicycle accidents are as follows:

Tailing cyclists too closely
Trying to overtake cyclists
Opening car doors, striking oncoming cyclists
Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Driving while fatigued
Failing to notice cyclists at night
Unsafely changing lanes
Turning without looking
Failing to yield
Ignoring traffic lights or signs

DOCUMENTING YOUR ACCIDENT

As an injured cyclist, it is imperative that you document the facts surrounding your accident, as this can help you satisfy the burden of proof in a future personal injury claim. Of course, the first thing anyone should do after being injured in an accident is call the police and seek immediate medical treatment.

However, from here, you should get the driver’s insurance information, take pictures of the accident/its aftermath, ask witnesses for their contact information and obtain a copy of all medical documents regarding your injuries. You must also hire a knowledgeable New York City & Westchester County bicycle accident lawyer who can use this evidence and more to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim.

Not only have I had the pleasure of working alongside Jose, but I’ve also been on the receiving end of his handling of the transference of my father’s estate. Jose and the Baez Legal Group demonstrated a kind of versatility, accountability, and dedication rarely seen outside of large international law firms. He handles a wide variety of cases with seeming ease, often surprising both his clients and I with the scope of his knowledge of different legal disciplines. Jose is not one of the myriads of lawyers that always seem too busy to allocate the proper amount of care and time to their clients; in fact, he was often in the habit of reaching out first, even if just to see how we’re doing. Should you wish to receive an unprecedented amount of excellence in the handling of your case, the Baez Legal Group should be your first and only resort.
