Do pedestrians and bicyclists who are injured by a car have rights?

Some serious injury cases involve bicycle or pedestrian accidents. Unfortunately, many automobile drivers simply do not respect the rights of bicyclists and pedestrians. All motor vehicle operators have complete responsibility under the laws of New York State to drive in a safe and attentive manner at all times. Often motor vehicle drivers fail in these responsibilities and pedestrians and bicycle riders are very seriously or fatally injured. If you or a family member has been seriously or fatally injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident involving a motor vehicle, Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve.
