Bicycle Accident Attorneys in Niagara Falls, New York

Legal Representation for Those Injured in Bicycle Accidents

Bicycling has become a popular pastime in the local area. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents, especially when caused by a collision with an automobile or truck, could lead to serious, severe injuries and even death. In New York State alone, in 2011, over 6,000 bicycle accidents with motor vehicles occurred with over 5,900 injuries and 57 deaths. Nationwide, bicycle accidents resulted in 51,000 injuries in 2010 and over 600 deaths.

Bicycle accidents can happen for a number of reasons, sometimes as simple as the motor vehicle driver not seeing the bicyclist. If the driver of the automobile or truck is found to be negligent, the bicyclist can sue the responsible party and receive monetary awards for their injuries and personal damages.

The most common type of accident occurs when a voter vehicle makes a left-hand turn into the path of an oncoming bicyclist, failure to yield, driver inattention, bicyclist confusion or by ignoring a traffic control device.
