Serving Long Island, NYC & Westchester

Hit While Riding Your Bike?

If you’ve been injured while riding your bicycle, you're not alone — and you're not powerless. We help cyclists across New York stand up to insurance companies, hold drivers accountable, and pursue the full compensation they deserve.

Cyclists Deserve Safer Roads — And Stronger Legal Support

A person on a bike has little protection from cars, so when an accident happens, it usually causes significant injuries.  The laws in New York are different for bicyclists, and you need an attorney who knows the intricacies of those laws to make sure you are being well represented.


We represent injured cyclists throughout Long Island, New York City, and Westchester, taking on cases that range from intersection collisions to dooring incidents and unsafe road conditions. Dallas Law is a boutique law firm composed of attorneys who have all worked at some of the largest law firms.  We are selective about the cases we take on so that we can give each client the attention he or she deserves.  Everyone at Dallas Law has over a decade of experience in litigating personal injury cases.  Therefore, you are getting big firm representation, with boutique firm attention.

Intersection & Crosswalk Collisions

Many drivers fail to yield to cyclists in marked crossings. We use surveillance footage, witness statements, and police reports to build a clear case.

Doored by a Parked Vehicle

Sudden door openings are a common — and preventable — hazard. We hold drivers and vehicle owners accountable for failing to check before exiting.

 Common Questions About Bicycle Accidents

If you’ve been hit, we’ll help you figure out what comes next.

  • What should I do after being hit by a car while riding my bike?

    Get medical attention immediately, document the scene if possible, file a police report, and contact a lawyer before speaking with any insurance company.

  • Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

    Yes. While helmet use may be considered in some cases, it doesn’t prevent you from pursuing compensation for injuries caused by a negligent driver.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a bicycle accident in New York City?

    Absolutely. Bicycle accident claims are often disputed. A lawyer helps you gather evidence, deal with insurance companies, and fight for full compensation.

  • How long do I have to file a claim after a bicycle accident in Westchester, NY?

    In most cases, you have up to three years — but we recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.

  • What compensation can I recover as an injured cyclist?

    You may be eligible for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and compensation for long-term disability or reduced earning potential.
