Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in New York/Bronx

At Mesadieu Law Firm, we understand that most bicycle accidents in New York/Bronx and other cities are avoidable. These accidents often occur due to negligence, recklessness, or carelessness by drivers or cyclists who fail to take proper safety precautions.

As part of our process, we will investigate the cause of your bike accident to determine if you have a strong case. Some common causes of bike accidents in New York include riding on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, failure to yield to traffic signals, lack of proper lighting or warning signals, merging, or turning in front of motor vehicles, driving or cycling under the influence of drugs or alcohol, absence of reflective gear, poor road conditions, and dog chases.

Of course, there could be other reasons for bike accidents, but these are among the most common. After identifying the root cause, we will examine the possibility of helping you file a New York No-Fault claim with either your insurance company or that of the at-fault driver.
