What Compensation is Available After a Bicycle Accident?

If a bicyclist is hit by a car in New York, the bicyclist is entitled to have medical bills paid for, up to the amount of $50,000. The bills would be paid for by the car insurance for the car that hit the bicyclist, regardless of fault. This is covered under the car's "no fault" portion of the car insurance policy. All car insurance policies in New York are required to include this coverage.

The LAW TEAM has successfully settled many bicycle accident cases. In one Brooklyn bicycle accident case, a bicyclist was hit by a pluming company truck. The cyclist was on his way to work when the truck made a turn in right turn front of him. The case was initially rejected by another lawyer because he thought it would not make the serious injury threshold. The client ended up settling for $175,000.
