Should I File a Claim for Bike Injuries if I am Undocumented?
For many immigrants who don’t have a driver’s license, a bicycle is their only mode of transportation. Many are also undocumented. And are afraid to file a claim for bicycle injuries.
There is nothing wrong with being cautious. But filing an accident claim does not affect your immigration status and insurance companies cannot deny you compensation. They will use this argument to try to scare you into accepting nothing, but it’s not true.
Fear deportation? Our law firm has been fighting for the rights of the New York’s Latino community for over 36 years. Our seasoned personal injury attorneys work with immigration lawyers to better protect you.

Should I Hire a Lawyer for my Cycling Accident Claim?
Bicycle crashes with cars, buses, taxis, and trucks often end up in serious harm to the cyclist. These debilitating and permanent injuries can result in large financial losses for victims and their families.
The law allows an injured individual to recover damages from the at-fault party. Money may not be able to repair the emotional harm. But it can help ease the financial burden caused by the collision’s injuries.

Top Rated Bicycle Accident Lawyers in New York
You only need to speak with an experienced cyclist, to quickly understand the risks. Bicycles are highly vulnerable in collisions with vehicles.
Regardless of how many precautions riders take, bike crashes happen regularly. Mostly because drivers ignore them.
In an accident between a bicycle and a car, the cyclist will almost always suffer the biggest loss. Unfortunately, these types of collisions are all too common on the streets and roads of NYC and Long Island.
Investigating bicycle accidents is quite difficult. This is because of the negative perception many drivers and even the police have of cyclists.

Why Don’t Drivers Trust Cyclists?
Many motorists believe cyclists are reckless—crossing intersections without checking both sides, running red lights, or riding against traffic.
☑️ In reality, only a small number of people ride bikes this way. Yet, there is a tendency to blame the cyclist. This is why experience is key when hiring an attorney to file a bicycle accident lawsuit in New York.

Here are the most common causes of bicycle crashes in Long Island and NYC:

One of the most difficult accidents to avoid when riding a bicycle is a blind spot collision. It is practically impossible for cyclists to stay out of every vehicle’s blind spot.
Motorists often fail to see cyclists in their blind spots, especially at intersections or when changing lanes. This problem is even worse with distracted and inexperienced drivers or those with visual impairments.
☑️ What is a blind spot? The area around a vehicle where the driver cannot see directly or even indirectly using a mirror.
Be aware that cars have blind spots. Drivers should always turn their heads around to check for cyclists before changing lanes or exiting a parking lot.
Many modern cars come equipped with cameras and alarms. But nothing replaces visually making sure the path is clear before moving.

NYC Vision Zero Initiative to Reduce Bicycle Accidents
New York City’s Vision Zero initiative aims to reduce deaths and injuries caused by crashes or collisions, including bicycle accidents. 89% of cyclist fatalities happen at intersections. Learning how to turn safely, avoid vehicle blind spots, and ride predictably can help protect you while bike riding.
✅ Wear a helmet every time you ride a bike. Cyclists who wear helmets are 72% less likely to suffer a traumatic brain injury than those who don’t. Remember, helmets only work if they fit properly, and they are mandatory for children under 14 years of age.
A pilot project by the Department of Transportation (DOT), allows cyclists to continue riding while pedestrians cross the street at some intersections. Currently, these pilot locations are:
Brooklyn: Atlantic Avenue, 4th Avenue, and Smith Street
Queens: Roosevelt Avenue and 34th Avenue
Manhattan: 2nd Avenue and 9th Avenue
Documented or not, we will fight for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay. All consultations are free. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call today for a case evaluation!
