😬 The impact of a bicycle accident can extend far beyond the day of the crash.

For injured cyclists on Long Island, a claim may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the long-term effects of an injury.

Ongoing treatment, missed work, and changes to daily life can continue long after the initial recovery.

Biggest mistake cyclists make after getting doored on Long Island❓

Waiting too long to document the scene.

Call 911 if you’re injured or need medical attention. Then, once you’re safe, document the scene, get the driver’s insurance information, and speak with witnesses.

Hold onto your damaged bike and helmet — they're evidence.

🚲 A car door opens. There's no time to react.

This is how "dooring" accidents happen—and it's the responsibility of the driver or passenger to check that it's safe before opening a door into a cyclist's path.

Think it's fine to swing your car door open without checking first? 🚗🚲

In New York, drivers and passengers have to make sure it's safe before opening a vehicle door into traffic. This is known as "dooring," and it can cause a serious car accident on Long Island.

Be especially careful when cyclists are nearby. A quick check can help prevent a life-changing collision.

Think a pre-existing condition means you can't recover compensation after a car accident?

Not necessarily — not under New York law.

Insurance companies may dig through your medical records and argue that your pain comes from an old injury rather than the crash.

That's why clear medical documentation is so important when building a car accident claim.
Under New York's "eggshell plaintiff" rule, the at-fault party generally takes the injured person as they find them. If a crash aggravates a pre-existing condition, that doesn't automatically eliminate your right to seek compensation.

🤔 Think an attorney can tell you what your case is worth before treatment is even finished? Think again.

Until your medical picture is clear, giving you a “real number” can be little more than a guess.

Before an insurance claim gets negotiated, we want to know the full picture: final medical bills, permanent limitations, and prognosis.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t rush the process.
