New York City bicycle accident lawyers provide assistance in circumstances where a bike rider has been hurt as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle. Bicycle riders, unfortunately, can be seriously hurt due to the force of impact from a collision because their bike does not provide protection from that impact. The potential severity of injuries sustained can make bike accident claims more complicated. One recent serious accident involving a bicycle rider and an Uber cab driver is an unfortunate illustration of the impact that a collision between a car and a bicycle can have on a bike rider. This accident also raises special issues because of the fact that the driver of the vehicle was working for a ride-sharing company at the time of the incident. When a driver of a ride-sharing company is involved in a crash, questions can arise regarding whether the company itself could be liable for losses caused to victims.
