How Does NYC Law Protect Cyclists?

Laws are in place to protect everyone on the road, including bicyclists. In New York City, cyclists under the age of 14 are required to wear helmets, but there are many other regulations designed to prioritize the safety of all riders.

Drivers often pose the biggest risk to cyclists. If a driver causes a bicycle accident, they can be held liable for the victim’s injuries and damages. Our attorneys are here to help you fight for the maximum compensation available.

Here are some important laws that all bicyclists and motorists in New York City should know:

  • Every driver near a cyclist is legally required to exercise a duty of care to ensure the cyclist’s safety.

  • Drivers must pass cyclists at a safe distance, using judgment to ensure adequate space.

  • Bike lanes are designated exclusively for cyclists, and motor vehicles are prohibited from driving, parking, or standing in them.

  • Drivers and passengers must check for approaching cyclists before opening a vehicle door to avoid "dooring" accidents.

  • Drivers are required to yield to cyclists when they have the right of way, including during turns or at intersections.

When riding a bike, the entire body is vulnerable, leaving cyclists at a high risk of severe, life-threatening injuries if struck by a vehicle. It is crucial for drivers to respect and adhere to these laws to help prevent catastrophic injuries and ensure the safety of cyclists.

Common Bicycle Accident-Related Injuries

Some of the most common bicycle accident-related injuries include:

  • Fractured bones

  • Deep cuts, scrapes, and abrasions

  • Injuries to the head, neck, and back

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

  • Facial injuries

  • Road rash (severe friction burns)

  • Spinal cord damage

  • Paralysis

  • Internal bleeding

.

Compensation for Bicycle Accident Victims

By filing a personal injury claim, you can pursue fair financial compensation for the injuries and damages you’ve suffered due to the accident.

Common examples of damages in bicycle accident cases include:

  • Emergency medical treatment

  • Ambulance and hospital costs

  • Current and future medical expenses

  • Medical equipment and assistive devices

  • Rehabilitation services

  • Physical therapy sessions

  • Lost wages and future earning potential

  • Prescription and over-the-counter medication costs

  • Loss of earning capacity

  • Physical and emotional pain and suffering

How Long Do You Have to File a Bicycle Accident Lawsuit?

In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including bicycle accidents, is three years from the date of the accident. This means you have three years to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries and damages. If you wait until the statute of limitations expires, your case will likely be dismissed, and you will lose the opportunity to pursue compensation.
