Understanding Compensation Calculations in New York Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents can be a traumatic experience, often resulting in serious injuries and financial burdens. If you or a loved one has been involved in a bicycle accident in New York, it is important to understand how compensation is calculated to ensure you receive the proper support and resources needed for recovery. At Law Offices of John E. Gray, we can assist the New York public with navigating the complexities of compensation calculations in bicycle accidents.


Liability Determination: In New York, compensation in bicycle accidents is typically based on the concept of negligence. This means that the party found to be at fault for causing the accident may be held responsible for compensating the injured party. Our team at Law Offices of John E. Gray can help gather evidence, such as witness statements and police reports, to determine liability and ensure you receive fair compensation.


Medical Expenses: One of the key components of compensation calculations in bicycle accidents is medical expenses. This includes costs associated with emergency room visits, surgeries, doctor's appointments, physical therapy, medication, and any other medical treatment required for your injuries. Our team will work to ensure all past and future medical expenses are taken into account when calculating your compensation.


Lost Wages: If you have been injured in a bicycle accident and are unable to work as a result, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes any income you have missed out on due to your injuries, as well as potential future earnings if your injuries have long-term effects on your ability to work. Our experienced attorneys will fight for your right to fair compensation for lost wages.


Pain and Suffering: In addition to economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages, compensation calculations in bicycle accidents may also include non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. This type of compensation accounts for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish caused by the accident and its aftermath. Our team will work tirelessly to ensure you receive just compensation for all aspects of your suffering.


Legal Representation: Navigating the legal system after a bicycle accident can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with insurance companies and negotiating settlements. By partnering with Law Offices of John E. Gray, you can rest assured that you have dedicated legal representation advocating for your best interests every step of the way.

Gray, we are committed to helping New York residents who have been injured in bicycle accidents navigate the complexities of personal injury law and secure the compensation they deserve.
