Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Bicycle Accident Victims
Expert Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Brooklyn, NY
Whether you live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, or anywhere in between – while Brooklyn is a great place to live, its urban nature can often lead to an increased risk of being involved in a bicycle accident. If you ride a bike in Brooklyn for sport, leisure, or to commute to work, navigating congested streets can easily lead to an accident.
Brooklyn is known for having some of the most dangerous roads and intersections for cyclists. Intersections like Newkirk Avenue and Argyle Road near Flatbush, along with hotspots around South Fourth Street and Keap Street in Williamsburg, are especially notorious for bicycle accidents.
In addition to dangerous intersections and busy streets, rapid expansion throughout the borough means an increased amount of construction happening on any given day. Scaffolding, tools left unattended, and machine malfunctions, and even bikepaths crowded with workers, can all lead to local cyclists being at an increased risk of being injured while riding their bike.
Despite your best efforts to stay safe, a bicycle accident can result in life-threatening injuries and major damage to your professional and personal life. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident in Brooklyn, it’s critical that you don’t wait to seek the advice of a lawyer.
