Cycling has been growing in popularity as an emphasis on global and physical health has become popularized.
Bicycles represent a popular mode of transportation on crowded NYC streets, whether being used by messengers, restaurant delivery workers, or anyone looking for a way to get around the city in a pleasant manner.
Unfortunately, motorists don’t always look out for cyclists on the road, especially in New York City.
Cyclists, including motorcyclists, are more vulnerable when it comes to navigating streets and having to share the road with enclosed motorists.
In 2019, there were over 3,800 motor vehicle collisions in New York involving a bicyclist where the cyclist was seriously injured or killed.
Even if you do everything right while practicing safe cycling, you are extremely vulnerable on a bike.
Even the most experienced cyclists are no match for an inattentive driver.
If you or your loved one have been seriously hurt while on your bicycle due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve the chance to protect your rights. Contact Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson today to speak to an attorney.
