Recovering Damages After a Bicycle Crash in Suffolk County

We will evaluate your case to determine how much your damages are worth. This will aid us in negotiations with the liable insurer. By understanding the combined value of your losses, we can fight for a settlement that reflects the accident’s impact on your life.

Examples of Economic Damages

Economic damages have direct dollar values attached to them. Examples include:

• Past and future healthcare expenses, including emergency treatment, ambulance bills, diagnostic imaging scans, surgeries, follow-up care, medications, and more
• Necessary assistive aids, such as braces, crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs
• Loss of income, which can include hourly wages, salary, tips, and bonuses
• Property damage expenses, which may include the repair or replacement of your bicycle
• Funeral expenses, including burial, cremation, and embalming (if you lost a loved one)

Types of Non-Economic Losses

Non-economic damages do not have verifiable financial values. Examples of these losses include pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. The value of these losses largely depend on your situation, like your pain levels, mobility, and ability to work.

How Our Team of Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Holtsville Can Serve You

Our injury lawyer will guide you through the process of seeking damages from the liable party. You can trust our team to:

Work on contingency

You pay nothing up front or out of pocket at the outset of your case. That’s because we render our help on a contingency-fee basis. This means:

• Payment for our attorney’s fees depends on your case’s success.
• We draw our fees from your settlement as a predetermined percentage.
• We don’t request our attorney’s fees if your case does not succeed.

Together, we will decide on a payment plan that meets your circumstances. You won’t get any surprise bills in the mail or charges to your account. You will understand our terms of payment from the very beginning.

Investigate the Cause of the Crash

While the insurance provider will investigate the crash, so will we. Your lawyer will gather the police report, eyewitness statements, and pictures of the scene to determine what caused your collision.

File an Insurance Claim

Your lawyer will file your insurance claim and submit supporting documents. They will also:

• Communicate with the claims adjuster
• Identify which policy covers your losses
• Negotiate a settlement
• Discuss fault and liability

You have protection against bad faith insurance practices under N.Y. Ins. Law § 2601. If the insurer unjustly denies, undervalues, or disputes your claim, we can offer legal aid.

File a Lawsuit Against the Liable Party

Your case may necessitate a civil lawsuit. Here, we can:

• File your case’s paperwork with the Court
• Communicate with all involved parties
• Take depositions from witnesses
• Cross-examine the other party’s witnesses
• Object to any unfair questions or proceedings
• Argue that the defendant should pay for your losses
• Demonstrate the impact of the injury on your life

Your Case Must Abide by Certain Deadlines

Keep in mind that some statutory deadlines may apply to your case. For instance, most injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the incident, per CPLR § 214. If you lost a loved one, you generally have two years to file, according to EPT § 5-4.1. There are also circumstances which significantly shorten these general time periods, such as when pursuing a case against a municipality.

We can evaluate your case, determine whether a lawsuit is necessary, and file it within the appropriate period. We may find that your filing deadline differs from the two we mentioned above.
