Our team at Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek, P.C. has successfully handled bike crash cases for years. We have the knowledge and skills you need to hold an at-fault driver responsible for the harm they’ve caused.
Reach out to us online or call (212) 490-5700 for a free initial consultation with a bicycle accident lawyer.
Cycling accidents are often high-stake cases. Why? Because you’re probably suffering from severe, if not catastrophic, injuries after being hit by a car on your bike. The medical bills will be high, and you may lose out on a lot of income. A lawyer fights for you to get the maximum compensation possible to cover these costs.
Our bicycle accident attorneys deal with insurance companies regularly. We know the laws, processes, and tricks they pull. Having us communicate with the insurers also frees up your time and reduces your stress. You can focus on healing.
We know how to get you the best financial recovery. From day one, we investigate and collect evidence. We prioritize building you a strong case, which may include hiring an expert or two. We carefully evaluate your physical, emotional, and financial injuries, enabling us to place value on your claim.
We’re also experienced negotiators. When it comes down to it, a skilled negotiator is how you win max compensation for your injuries.
To win compensation after a bicycle accident in Brooklyn, you have to prove someone else was careless or reckless. We refer to this as negligence, and it has four elements:
Every driver has a duty of ordinary care. They have to obey New York traffic laws and drive carefully to avoid accidents.
During our in-depth investigation of the crash, we gather all types of evidence, such as:
We use this evidence to prove the driver violated a traffic law or was, in some other way, careless or reckless behind the wheel.
We know you’re dealing with a lot right now. You or a loved one may be in treatment and recovery from:
We want to reduce your stress during the claim process. That way, you can focus on your recovery. Let us handle the insurance company, prove your case, and file a lawsuit if it’s in your best interests.
New York law doesn’t require adults to wear helmets while riding a bike. Failing to wear a helmet can lead to more severe injuries in a crash, though. That’s why the at-fault driver might argue you were negligent for not wearing one.
You can still recover compensation even if you weren’t wearing a helmet. Don’t let a negligent driver and insurance company tell you otherwise. If they’re saying you were negligent, call us for help today.
After suffering severe injuries in a bike crash in Brooklyn, you need to recovery all the compensation possible. It’s the only way to cover the medical bills and make up for your lost income. It’s also the only way to gain some sense of justice for your pain and suffering.
We’ll always pursue the most compensation available after a bicycle accident. Talk with us about how we build strong cases and the negotiation strategies we use during your free consultation.
After a Brooklyn bike accident, you may demand compensation for:
Fatal cycling accidents are devastating, whether your relative was an avid cyclist or an occasional bike rider. You expected them to make it home safe. When dealing with the aftermath of their death, talk with a Brooklyn bicycle accident lawyer about whether you can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Your family might be entitled to compensation.
When you’re hurt in an expected accident, you deserve help. You don’t have to figure out everyone on your own. Our team at Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek, P.C. will guide you through the claim process, and if necessary, litigation. We’ll make sure you understand your rights and options.
To set up your free consultation, call (212) 490-5700 or use our online form. There’s no upfront fee to hire us. You only pay us if we recover compensation through a settlement or court award.
