Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle use as both a means of transportation and to perform deliveries is on the rise throughout New York City and its surrounding boroughs. Despite efforts to improve safety through bike lanes and reduced speed limits, bicycle riders are often injured as the result of another’s negligence. Bicycle accidents can result from a number of scenarios, including collisions with motor vehicles. A common type of accident involves bicyclists colliding with doors being opened from a motor vehicle.
