Why You Need A Bicycle Accident Lawyer?

Bicycle accidents and injuries can occur when you least expect them. While riding your bicycle, you are sharing the road with a large number of motor vehicles. Most of these vehicles are driven by motorists who aren’t accustomed to sharing their road space with cyclists. These drivers aren’t always paying attention and may not be expecting a cyclist to dart out in front of them. With that said, when a collision occurs, the result is often serious injury or even death.

If you were struck by a car while riding your bike on a New York City street or sidewalk and suffered injuries due to this accident, you might be entitled to compensation from the at-fault party. With the help of our skilled bicycle accident attorneys at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP, you will be able to recover damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses resulting from the injuries sustained in the crash.

Can you sue for car accident?

Car accidents can happen for a wide variety of reasons. Pertaining to this, sometimes even the slightest fender-bender can leave you seriously injured. Claiming compensation after a serious injury in a car accident can be challenging for the victims and their families. Filing a claim is stressful, and it can be hard to know if it’s the right thing to do. In fact, not all car accidents will lead to financial compensation or court proceedings.

A bad situation is made worse when a car accident victim does not know how to handle the aftermath of the crash. When involved in a collision, whether it is your fault or not, it helps to know if you have a case and what steps to take next. To file a personal injury claim after a car accident, you must understand your rights and responsibilities under New York state laws. 

The legal system is complex, and determining if you can sue for a car accident is something our dedicated New York personal injury attorneys at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP can provide answers to. Here’s how you can go about it.

What is the average settlement for a personal injury?

Accidents can happen at any time, and they can result in a wide range of injuries based on the nature and severity of the crash. While some injury claims in New York are resolved through insurance policies, others, particularly those involving serious bodily injuries or wrongful death, result in personal injury lawsuits.

A large number of personal injury claims are settled outside of court, where the features of average settlements are used to determine a settlement amount. Based on this, since each case is unique and some claims settle for more or less than others, statistics aren’t everything when determining your claim value. Knowing how different variables impact your insurance settlement allows you to evaluate your options and make a judicious decision based on your circumstances.

The seasoned car accident attorneys at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP can help you make an informed decision about the value of your potential settlement based on the circumstances in your specific case. Here’s what you should know about New York accident settlementsβ€”and how we can help you better estimate the amount of your compensation.

What Happens When A Bicycle Hits A Person?

Pedestrian accidents in New York don’t always involve motor vehicles. They can also occur because of a negligent cyclist crashing into a pedestrian. Suing a bicyclist for financial compensation can be more complicated than filing a personal injury lawsuit in a motor vehicle collision. 

Unfortunately, many bicyclists in New York City flout the rules of the road. Every year a large number of pedestrians report injuries after they were hit by a bicycle. Pedestrians are also required to follow the rules of the road, which will mean you need a diligent New York pedestrian accident attorney to successfully pursue a claim for damages.
