Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists are extremely vulnerable to accidents on our roads because they are smaller and lighter than cars. When a bicyclist is involved in an accident, he/she is more likely to sustain serious injuries due to the lack of protection as compared to a car. There are no seatbelts or airbags to help protect a bicyclist from serious injuries such as broken bones, head/neck/back injuries, shoulder or knee tears, facial injuries, scarring or even death. A bicyclist will always be thrown to the pavement. Bicyclists involved in an accident with a car are entitled to the benefits of New York’s No-Fault law as long as the paperwork is timely filed. In addition to litigation provided to the bicyclist, THE SAUL LAW FIRM, LLP will handle the filing of the no-fault paperwork to make sure the medical bills are properly covered. Bicyclists can also be injured as a result of a dangerous and defective condition on a premises or roadway. Broken, cracked or uneven sidewalks, potholes, unclean grounds or excessive debris can also cause a bicyclist to lose balance or control and fall. THE SAUL LAW FIRM, LLP has handled a significant number of bicycle accidents and we have recovered substantial money for our clients.
