Experienced Attorney for New York Bicyclists
New York law is designed to protect cyclists from careless and negligent drivers. While cyclists must obey traffic laws, New York motorists are required to maintain a safe distance from bicycles, respect bike lanes, and shoulder the burden of safety when cars and bikes share the road. Unfortunately, accidents do occur — and often the vulnerable cyclist suffers. Cycling accidents can be devastating, resulting in serious injuries that can affect you for the rest of your life. If you’ve been injured in a cycling accident, call Kass & Moses today to learn about your options.
