Nassau County Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Am I Eligible for Compensation?

If you or your lawyer can prove a party’s negligence caused your accident, you can seek compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. Your lawyer will determine what damages you are eligible to receive compensation for and valuate them.

Economic damages are those that can be assigned a monetary value. Some examples include:

• Any existing and future medical expenses incurred in the treatment of your injuries
• Loss of income
• Diminished future earnings
• Property damage

Non-economic damages are more personal losses. They are harder to quantify but have monetary value nonetheless. Some examples include:

• Pain and suffering and inconvenience
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disability

Who Is Liable for My Accident and Injuries?

Liability for your accident and injuries depends on the facts of your case. Bicycle accident victims cannot always identify all responsible parties/defendants. It is ideal to locate all of them, though, to secure the compensation from them that you deserve.

You shouldn’t be expected to go search for and pursue a liable party when recovering is your main priority. Allow us to investigate the accident, determine the responsible party or parties, and take action against them.

Do I Still Get Compensation If I’m Partially at Fault?

Cyclists, like everyone else, have the right to use the road, but they also have legal obligations and must respect the laws. It implies they might be partially responsible for creating an accident, even if they are hurt.

The court assigns joint liability between the two parties in this case. For example, you are entitled to 75% of the compensation if you are deemed 25% at fault for an accident. However, it is crucial to note that determining responsibility is not wholly up to the police officer or an insurance assessor.

To potentially elevate your position, have someone familiar with bikers’ rights in Nassau County advocate for you.

Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. Despite this, vehicles do not always recognize or appreciate bikers who share the road with them. Wounded bicyclists who are victims of careless drivers can file a claim for financial compensation.

• Identify all responsible parties, including insurance companies.
