New Hyde Park Bicycle Accident Lawyer

You Could Qualify to Seek Several Forms of Compensation After a New Hyde Park Bicycle Accident

After a bicycle accident, every part of your life could be affected by your injuries. We will seek compensation for the full extent of your damages, including:

• Medical care (for emergency treatment, ongoing care, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and more)
• Property damages (e.g., your bicycle, electric bicycle accessories, helmet, cycling computer, and more)
• Pain and suffering
• Reduced enjoyment of life
• Lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Wrongful death damages (if you lost a loved one to a bicycle accident)

When you work with our team, we will not only seek all damages for which you qualify. This includes the losses you already experienced and the damages you will face in the future.

You may expect to have medical costs for months or years to come, long-term challenges to your career, and other future hardships related to your injuries. We will calculate all these damages. Then, we will seek what you deserve from the insurance company.

Frequently Asked Questions in New Hyde Park Bike Accident Cases

Our lawyers know that you likely have many questions. We are ready to help you get all the answers.

Can I Sue the Driver Who Caused My Bike Accident?

We are prepared to take your case to trial and file a civil lawsuit.

Typically, we will first investigate your case’s details and review your options. We may start by seeking an out-of-court settlement. This is often the most expedient path to resolving an injury case.

On the other hand, we may start by immediately filing suit and preparing evidence to present before a jury. This may be the best route for seeking the most compensation. When we walk into courtrooms on Long Island, we are familiar faces. We are ready to litigate for you.

Can I Be at Fault As a Bicyclist in an Accident?

Our team knows how to defend injured bicyclists against unfair allegations of fault. The liable party’s legal team may point fingers at you—but we will gather evidence to show that you deserve fair compensation.

If you have concerns about your share of fault for an accident, don’t rule out your chances of a recovery. We have experience getting results even when bicyclists admit partial fault for their accident. Let our team investigate your case and tell you how we can help.

How Much Can I Get in a Settlement?

This varies based on the details of your case. Some of the factors that may determine how much you receive include:

• Who is liable for your crash (e.g., a trucking company, a rideshare company’s insurance, or an individual driver)
• The severity of your injuries
• How seriously the injuries affected or are affecting your life and career
• The cost of your medical expenses (past, present, and future)

Our team will build a case to show that you deserve the best settlement or award possible.

What Should I Do to Prepare My Long Island Case?

By taking certain actions, you can lay a strong foundation for your injury case.

• Gather your own evidence file. If you called the police to the scene of the crash, collect a copy of the accident report from the Nassau County Police Department. Hang onto any receipts for out-of-pocket expenses, like for medical devices. If you have contact information for any witnesses to the accident, pass these on to your lawyer.
• Get the medical care you need. Taking care of your health is crucial after an accident. Additionally, your medical records will offer crucial evidence for your case. Get any care your doctors advise so that an insurance company will have limited grounds to challenge your case.
• Call our team. We can tell you much more about the compensation you can seek and how we can help. If you’re getting settlement offers from the liable party, we can help you determine if they’re fair. The call to us is free and comes with no obligation.
