Bronx Bicycle & Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

The Bronx streets can be tough for anyone walking or riding a bike. Every day, cyclists and pedestrians face real risks from speeding cars, distracted drivers, and roads or sidewalks that aren’t kept up the way they should be.

Common Causes of Bike and Pedestrian Accidents

We see most accidents happen because drivers ignore traffic rules or simply don’t pay attention. Our personal injury lawyers handle these crashes all the time in busy spots like Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse.

• Drivers running red lights
• Cars turning without looking
• Speeding in school zones
• Opening car doors into bike lanes
• Texting while driving

These crashes are common in high-traffic areas near subway stations and shopping districts. We see a lot of them during the morning and evening rush in in neighborhoods like Morris Park and Pelham Bay.

Types of Injuries in These Accidents

Bicycle Injuries

Bike riders often get seriously hurt, even in low-speed crashes. Without a car to protect them, cyclists can suffer major injuries when hit by vehicles or forced off the road.

Pedestrian Injuries

People walking face even bigger dangers. Getting hit while crossing the street or walking on the sidewalk can lead to injuries that change lives and require months or years of care.

Steps to Take After Getting Hit

• Call 911 right away
• Get photos of the scene
• Get driver and witness information
• Keep your damaged bike or clothes
• See a doctor even if you feel okay

We see too many Bronx victims skip medical care at first. Our team at Adon & Associates explains why quick medical attention is so important for your health and your legal case.

Your Rights After an Accident

New York law protects people hurt while walking or biking. You may be able to recover money for medical bills, lost work time, and pain you’ve suffered. Just like with car and truck accidents, drivers who break the rules and cause harm must pay for the damage they cause.

Special Rules for Delivery Workers

Many food delivery workers in the Bronx use bikes for work. When they get hurt on the job, they have special rights. We help delivery workers get both workers’ comp benefits and compensation from drivers who hit them.
