20 May Bicycle Accidents Are Rising in Long Island; Here’s How We Can Help
Long Island has seen a significant increase in bicycle use over the past several years, with more residents embracing biking for exercise, commuting, and recreation. Unfortunately, this rise in ridership has come with an alarming trend: an increase in serious bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles.
At Gruenberg Kelly Della, we understand the devastating impact a bicycle accident can have on victims and their families. If you’ve been injured in a bicycle crash on Long Island, you’re not alone, and we’re here to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
Why Bicycle Accidents Are on the Rise
Several factors have contributed to the growing number of bicycle-related injuries in New York, including:
- More cars on the road due to suburban growth
- Increased cyclist traffic without corresponding bike lane infrastructure
- Distracted and aggressive driving
- Drivers failing to yield or check for cyclists in crosswalks or bike lanes
Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable in accidents because they lack the protection of a vehicle. Even a low-speed collision can result in life-changing injuries, such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or internal bleeding.
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident
If you or someone you love is injured while riding a bike, taking the right steps can protect your health and your legal rights:
- Call 911 immediately to report the accident and seek medical care.
- Get the driver’s information and take photos of the scene, your bike, and any injuries.
- Talk to witnesses and collect their contact information.
- Do not accept a quick settlement from an insurance company without legal counsel.
