How a Personal Injury Can Help If You Have Been In a Bicycle Accident

A bicycle accident can disrupt your life for weeks—or even months in more severe cases. Recovering physically is hard enough, but dealing with a personal injury claim adds another layer of stress.

​

Bicycle accident cases are rarely straightforward. Even when it’s clear that you deserve compensation, insurance companies often resist paying the full amount. They might even try to argue that you were at fault for the accident.

​

At The Law Office of Todd I. Siegel, we take immediate action to preserve crucial evidence that supports your claim. Our team will:

• Visit the accident scene.

• Take photos and review any available video footage.

• Secure GPS data from the incident.

• Interview witnesses for firsthand accounts.

• Collaborate with accident reconstruction specialists.

​

Having an experienced New York personal injury attorney and New Jersey personal injury attorney on your side is essential. We handle the complex details and protect your legal rights so you can focus on your recovery. Most accident victims are unfamiliar with the insurance claims process, which can be overwhelming without professional guidance.

Here’s why having a lawyer is critical:

• Insurance companies know the value of your case but often use tactics to minimize payouts.

• Others involved may try to shift the blame onto you, which could reduce your compensation under New Jersey and New York contributory negligence laws.

• Multiple parties might share responsibility for your accident, which requires careful legal navigation.

• Negotiating with insurers can be time-consuming and stressful, taking your focus away from healing and rebuilding.

Our bicycle accident legal team is dedicated to holding negligent drivers accountable and advocating for safer streets for all cyclists. Let us fight for the compensation you deserve.
