Magendzo Law
Bicycle Accident Lawyers in New York
Riding a bike in New York means sharing the road with cars, trucks and buses. If a driver's carelessness caused your crash, we can review your options.
Cyclists have almost no protection in a crash, so even a slow collision can cause broken bones or a head injury. Depending on what happened, a case can involve a driver, a delivery company, the city or whoever is responsible for a damaged road.
Magendzo Law reviews how the crash happened, what records exist, such as police reports, photos and camera footage, and who may be responsible. We explain the process in English or Spanish and follow up at every stage.
Common Situations
- Drivers turning across a bike lane
- Car doors opened into a cyclist
- Hit-and-run crashes
- Delivery and e-bike riders hurt while working
- Crashes caused by potholes or road defects
- Trucks and buses passing too close
