How We Prove Liability to Pursue Damages
New York liability laws require that an injured bicyclist must prove that the at-fault party breached his or her duty of care to avoid causing harm. If that is what caused your Baldwin bicycle accident, you are entitled to seek compensation. We will do the work of presenting the case that seeks to establish that on your behalf. Proving negligence can be a complex process. However, we have had successful experience doing it for other bicyclists and it would be our privilege to provide aggressive representation seeking to establish the strongest possible case for you.
A bicycle accident lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will show liability based upon certain conditions, including:
- The driver had a duty of care to avoid the accident.
- The driver breached this duty of care by either acting recklessly or not taking necessary action to avoid the accident.
- This breach caused the bicycle accident and your injuries.
- You now have financial damages from these injuries.
A Baldwin bicycle accident lawyer will use evidence to prove liability. We have the resources and staff to uncover the necessary evidence.
The Cause of Most Bicycle Accidents
Negligence is usually the cause of most bicycle accidents, injuries, and loss of life. Negligent behavior comes in many forms, such as:
- Speeding
- Drunk drivers
- Distracted drivers
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Illegal lane changes, illegal turns, and other reckless driving
- Potholes
- Construction
- Insufficient traffic control
- “Dooring”, i.e., opening a door on the side of traffic into an oncoming bicyclist
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will help you seek compensation from all liable parties, including a municipality that does not supply safe roadways or bike lanes.
