Bicycle Accident Attorney

Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Suffolk County

Dedicated Bicycle Accident Law Firm in Riverhead and the East End of Long Island

Understanding Liability in Bicycle Crash Cases:

Both motorists and cyclists must obey road rules. When a driver’s negligence results in a crash, they (and the vehicle’s owner) are responsible for the bicyclist’s injuries, medical expenses, and financial losses.

Steps to Take After a Bicycle Crash:

  1. Immediate Medical Attention: Always seek medical help, even for seemingly minor injuries. Injuries from such crashes can be severe and may have long-term effects.
  2. Document the Crash: Gather contact and insurance details from the involved driver, get witness information, and take photographs of the scene, injuries, and damages.
  3. Avoid Admissions: Never admit fault or apologize. Avoid making statements without consulting a lawyer.
  4. Contact Experienced Lawyers: The sooner you engage a firm like Fox Law Firm, the quicker they can investigate and gather evidence, crucial for a strong case.

Insurance Matters in New York:

In New York, the insurance of the vehicle causing the accident usually covers the bicyclist’s medical expenses and lost wages. If a bicyclist’s medical costs exceed the policy limits, the cyclist might access additional coverage through their own auto insurance. Additionally, drivers in New York must have liability coverage that compensates for a bicyclist’s injuries and other damages, which can amount to millions. However, navigating an insurance claim after a serious accident can be complex, and the expertise of lawyers like those at Fox Law Firm can be invaluable.

Timely Action is Essential:

In New York, injured bicyclists have three years from the accident date to take legal action. Consulting a firm like Fox Law Firm promptly can significantly increase the chance of a favorable outcome.

I recently found myself with a traffic ticket that was going to leave me with significant points on my license. There was no doubt that I would need representation, and had no idea who to call. After checking in with a few friends, I kept getting the same name; Dan Fox. From our first phone call, I was confident that I had contacted the right attorney. After explaining my circumstances, Dan walked me through the potential outcomes and focused on what he believed to be my best case option. While no lawyer can guarantee an outcome when you go to court, Dan was able to negotiate that best case scenario on my behalf. Should you find yourself in need of legal representation you could not find a better attorney to work with than Dan Fox.

I had an excellent experience working with Dan Fox at Fox Law Firm. He was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, responsive, and on top of everything from start to finish. His communication was amazing, and he consistently followed up so I always knew what was going on.
Best of all, he was able to get my speeding ticket reduced to a no-point violation with only a small fine, which was a huge relief. His pricing was also better than anyone else I found in the area, which made the whole experience even better.
I highly recommend Dan Fox and Fox Law Firm, and I will definitely be using his services again in the future.

Dan Fox and Fox Law Firm PLLC were our saviors!! Our family was involved in a car accident about 2 years ago, while it didn't look bad from the outside we were really hurt. My husband had to learn how to walk again after months of PT, I will always have spinal issues and with all of that stress, Dan Fox made the lawsuit and medical part so easy for us to navigate. We were so busy healing from our injuries the firm took care of the rest and they were so extremely kind and compassionate every step of the way. They updated us on a daily basis and helped guide us on doctor appointments and car insurance issues we had. I firmly believe without their help we would still be dealing with it all. They were honest and upfront about everything, which was extremely refreshing. It's hard to find a law firm that is so compassionate and trusting. I will always be thankful to Mr. Fox and the firm and will always recommend them and will absolutely use them again.

I can't thank my attorney enough for the incredible job he did with my car accident injury case. From start to finish, he kept me informed with regular updates, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. His professionalism was matched by his friendly and approachable demeanor, which made a difficult time much easier to navigate. He truly went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal help. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers results, Daniel Fox is the one!
