Members of our firm are active cyclists who are involved in cycling organizations and clubs from New Haven to New York City. Attorney Scott Leventhal rides his bike over 20 miles each way to and from work. He knows the trail system and surrounding roads up and down New Haven County like the back of his hand. He has also been hit by a car on his bike by an inattentive driver and can appreciate firsthand life in the saddle.

We fully understand the long road to recovery a cyclist can face after a New Haven bicycle accident, and we take it personally to ensure you will be made whole again.

The many miles of bike paths and bike lanes that communities across Connecticut have built and designated have brought cyclists out in flocks. Our attorneys have handled cases for avid cyclists injured on group rides, commuters, and recreational cyclists of all ages and abilities. We work proactively to help make our communities and drivers more bike friendly, and every case we bring on behalf of our injured clients helps to both increase awareness and punish negligence.

In nearly every New Haven bike accident situation, the motorist or an insurance company will try to pin some of the fault on the cyclist. It is critical that you speak with an experienced attorney before making any statements to an insurance adjuster or another representative. Our firm as represented insurance companies for 15 years – we know their tricks.

Our New Haven bicycle accident attorneys know the hardships you are forced to deal with after an accident.

STRONG ADVOCACY FOR BIKE RIDERS HIT BY CARS

We have handled bicycle accident injury cases in Greater New Haven and other Shoreline communities for over 50 years. Our New Haven bicycle accident attorneys bring to your case decades of experience investigating motor vehicle accidents and fighting for the rights of the injured.

We can effectively counter the defense in a broad range of situations, whether an insurance company is working to avoid its liabilities concerning the negligence of a driver, company or municipality. We deflect assertions that bicyclists were at fault and concentrate on whether the accident should have been prevented by a responsible party.

  • A driver failed to yield when turning
  • A driver rolled through a stop sign or ran a red light
  • A driver encroached on a crosswalk or bike path crossing
  • A driver veered into a bike lane or shoulder of the road
  • Someone opened a car door into the path of a cyclist
  • A driver was driving recklessly
  • A driver was texting while driving or otherwise distracted

These injuries can be debilitating, life-threatening, and especially frightening and infuriating if your child is the victim of an accident. Our team is prepared to hold responsible parties accountable and secure the compensation you deserve for past, present and future injuries.
