Injured While Riding Your Bike in NYC? I’ll Fight for You.

Riding a bike in New York City shouldn’t mean risking your life. If you were hit by a car, doored by a parked driver, or hurt because of an unsafe street or construction zone, I’ll help you file a claim. I represent injured cyclists across all five boroughs—and I know how to stand up to drivers and insurance companies who try to blame you.

Careless Drivers Don’t Always See Cyclists—Until It’s Too Late

Most of the cycling cases I handle involve:

  • A car turning into the bike lane
  • A driver opening a door into the cyclist’s path (dooring)
  • Getting sideswiped or forced off the road
  • Taxis or Ubers pulling over suddenly
  • Poor road design or blocked bike lanes
  • Potholes, loose grates, or debris from construction sites


Even if the crash seemed minor at first, these injuries can take weeks or months to fully recover from.

Bike Accidents Often Cause Serious, Lasting Harm

I’ve helped cyclists recover for injuries like:


  • Broken wrists, collarbones, or ribs
  • Shoulder tears and back injuries
  • Head trauma, even with a helmet
  • Deep cuts, road rash, and scarring
  • Dental injuries or facial fractures
  • Emotional trauma and anxiety while riding again



I make sure your medical records reflect what really happened and what it’s cost you.

Quick Actions That Help Your Case Later

If you were hit, try to:

  1. Call 911 and get medical help—even if you think you’re okay
  2. Take photos of your bike, the car, and the scene
  3. Get the driver’s info and any witness names
  4. Don’t argue with the driver—just focus on documenting
  5. Call me to go over what happens next

You don’t have to take on the insurance company alone. I’ll handle that part.

What Cyclists Should Know After a Crash

  • What if I wasn’t in a bike lane?

    That’s okay. You still have the right to ride on most NYC streets. Drivers must share the road and respect your space, even outside designated lanes.

  • Can I get my bike repaired or replaced as part of my claim?

    Yes. Property damage, like bike replacement or repair, can be part of your injury claim. I’ll make sure that’s included.

  • What if the driver sped off?

    If it was a hit-and-run, we may be able to use your own uninsured motorist coverage (UM). I’ll review your options.

  • What if I didn’t go to the hospital right away?

    You can still have a case. Some injuries don’t show up right away. Just make sure you get medical attention and keep records.

  • Do I have to wear a helmet to file a claim?

    No. New York doesn’t require helmets for adult cyclists, and you can still recover compensation even if you weren’t wearing one.
