Bicycle Accident Injuries
The New York Times says Scott Charnas is one of “A New Breed of Lawyers Focuse(d) on Bicyclists Rights”
New York Times, August 19, 2011
BICYCLE ACCIDENTS
Tens of thousands of bicycle riders are injured every year as the result of automobile drivers’ inattention, failure to yield the right of way, or failure to obey traffic signs or signals. Defective bicycle design, manufacture or assembly can also cause serious bicycle wrecks. Injuries from these crashes run from road rash to fractures, traumatic brain injury, paraplegia, quadraplegia and even death.
Bicyclists essentially have the same rights as motorists. Those rights get disrespected every day on the roads. If you want your rights respected by insurance companies and in the courts, get yourself a lawyer who has the skill, knowledge, experience and passion to fight for you.
Scott Charnas has been representing victims of bicycle and motorcycle crashes for over 25 years, including riders who have been smashed by cars and trucks, “doored” by inattentive auto occupants, wrecked by an obstruction on a bicycle path or whose bicycle has fallen apart due to defective design/manufacture. Clients have included experienced riders, casual riders, children, weekend enthusiasts and commuters, as well as a bicycle delivery person, an owner of a bicycle shop, and a semi-professional bicycle racer.
Tens of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts have been recovered for our clients. We have worked with experts including a former Olympic rider, experts in bicycle design, road warnings and accident reconstruction, to achieve maximum results. We care about each and every one of our clients, and we take the time to communicate with them. We appreciate the trust and faith that every one of our clients places in our firm, and we work to justify it every day.
