Bicycle Accidents In New York

Bicycles share most of the rights and responsibilities of motor vehicles, but all too often, their rights are disrespected on the road. The result can be tragic, as bicyclists are relatively unprotected in the event of a collision with a car or truck.

Common causes of bicycle accidents in New York include:

• Failure to yield right of way to a bicycle
• Violating bicycle lanes
• Crowding a bicycle off the side of a road
• Distracted driving
• Drunk driving

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are even more vulnerable to accident injuries. New York streets expose pedestrians to many hazards, including speeding taxis, bicycle messengers and distracted drivers.

Motorists are required by law to pay attention to their surroundings, but all too often fail to do so in areas where pedestrians are present. Pedestrian accidents can result in fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic head injuries and other catastrophic injuries. All too often, the results are fatal.
