Bicycle Accidents Attorneys in Long Island

Due to vehicle design, two-wheeler drivers are directly exposed to impact as compared to four-wheeler drivers. A slight collision to the bike can make it unstable and have a major impact on the rider and the pillion. Often large vehicles like trucks or a trailer force two-wheelers off the road leading to a crash.

A variety of injuries can happen in a bike accident, like but not limited to head injury despite wearing a helmet, spinal cord injury, and bone fracture. Fatal accidents can cause deaths too. A speeding bike or another speeding vehicle can throw the rider off the bike. While lying exposed on the road leads to the possibility of an immediate speeding car running over you and causing multiple injuries or even death.

In an accident, the initial steps are vital. If there are major injuries to anyone, call the paramedics immediately. Report the accident to the police. The report will be needed for insurance and a lawsuit if filed.

Collect the evidence possible. Take contact details of involved individuals and witnesses, take note of vehicle numbers and insurance company details. It also benefits to take photographs of the vehicles involved. It might be stressful to do everything immediately after the accident; however, these steps can help your legal journey.

New York State is a no-fault car insurance state wherein the injured needs to connect with their car insurance company for compensation. Even as a passenger in the car, you can get compensation. As a passenger in the car, the vehicle owner’s insurance company is liable to pay the compensation.
