Injured While Walking or Riding? We Can Help.

New York City and the Greater Hudson Valley are full of people walking, biking, and commuting every day. Unfortunately, drivers don’t always pay attention—and when a car hits a pedestrian or cyclist, the results can be devastating. If you or someone you love has been injured while walking or riding, we’re here to help you pursue accountability and compensation.

Common Scenarios We Handle

  • Crosswalk accidents
  • Failure to yield to pedestrians or bikes
  • Dooring accidents (bike riders hit by opening car doors)
  • Distracted or speeding drivers
  • Accidents involving delivery vehicles, taxis, or rideshare drivers
  • Hit-and-run collisions

Whether you were hit crossing a busy street in the Bronx or riding your bike on a two-lane road in Dutchess County, we’ll investigate what happened and fight for what you’re owed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do after being hit while walking or biking?

    Get medical care immediately and report the incident to the police. If possible, get photos and witness contact info. Then reach out to a lawyer—early evidence matters in these cases.

  • Can I still recover if the driver fled the scene?

    Yes. You may have a claim through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues. We can help explore all options.

  • What if I wasn’t in a crosswalk when I was hit?

    You may still have a claim. While being in a crosswalk helps, drivers still have a duty to watch for pedestrians and cyclists. We’ll assess liability based on the facts.

  • Do bike riders have the same rights as cars in New York?

    Yes. Cyclists have the right to use the road and are protected by the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. If a driver caused your crash, they may be legally responsible.
