On Long Island, all cyclists observe the same rules of the road as motorists. However, under New York’s no-fault system, a cyclist is considered a pedestrian. If you’re involved in a bicycle accident on Long Island, you must file a claim with the negligent driver’s insurance provider. If your damages exceed $50,000 and/or you suffered an injury that meets the state’s serious injury threshold, you can sue the negligent driver and pursue compensation for economic and non-economic damages.
The damages you’re entitled to will depend on the specifics surrounding your case, the severity of your injuries, and other variables.
In some cases, an injured cyclist can pursue compensation for the following types of economic and non-economic damages:
In 2022, as reported by the Nassau County Police Department, there were 319 accidents involving cyclists, with two fatalities. There was a significant increase over the following year, with a reported 437 accidents, and three fatalities.
Due to poor infrastructure, distracted driving, and reckless drivers on the roads, cyclists are at a high risk of being involved in an accident while riding around the scenic streets of Long Island. If you were injured in an accident on Long Island, the legal team at Parker Waichman LLP can help.
