New York City Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Bicycles are a safe, healthy, and inexpensive alternative to owning a car or taking the subway or cab everywhere you go. However, when unsafe, reckless, and negligent drivers get on the road, they pose a major threat to any bicyclist. Without the benefit of a protective layer of steel and glass, there is very little to come in between you and a hard surface in the event of a bicycle accident.

Common Types of Bicycle Injuries
Not surprisingly, a majority of accidents that occur between bicycles and motor vehicles are the fault of the motor vehicle operator. Here are some of the most common situations which cause bicycle accidents, so that you may avoid them if possible:
- A driver making a turn directly in front of a bicycle
- A motorist failing to yield at a stop sign or red light
- A driver failing to pay attention while driving past a cyclist
- A driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- A driver pulling out into traffic in front of a bicycle rider
- A driver failing to look both ways before proceeding at a red light or stop sign
