Cycling is a great way to travel and stay active, but reckless drivers, unsafe road conditions, and negligent actions can lead to serious accidents. Since cyclists lack the protection of a vehicle, injuries can be severe, resulting in costly medical bills and time away from work.
At Small Law Firm, we help injured cyclists understand their legal rights and seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain & suffering.
Many bicycle accidents happen due to driver negligence or unsafe conditions. Common causes include:
✔ Drivers failing to yield or running red lights – Motorists often overlook cyclists' right of way.
✔ Dooring incidents – A driver opening their car door into a cyclist’s path can lead to severe injuries.
✔ Unsafe road conditions – Potholes, debris, and poor road maintenance create unnecessary hazards.
Under New York law, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. Unfortunately, insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto cyclists. Small Law Firm ensures liability is properly determined, helping injured cyclists fight for fair compensation.
If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, having an experienced attorney on your side is essential. Here’s why cyclists trust Small Law Firm:
✔ Personalized Attention: We take the time to listen, investigate, and fight for your rights as a cyclist.
✔ Decades of Experience: Representing injured cyclists across New York State.
✔ Proven Results: Over $100 million in settlements recovered for our clients.
✔ No Upfront Costs: You pay nothing unless we win your case.
Bicycle accidents often result in serious fractures, head trauma, or long-term injuries. If a negligent driver or hazardous road condition caused your crash, contact us today for a free case review.
Fault depends on circumstances. Drivers may be liable for distracted driving, failure to yield, or speeding.
Seek medical attention, report the incident, and document the scene.
While helmets are not required for adults, failing to wear one may reduce compensation if it contributed to injuries.
You may recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You generally have three years, but shorter deadlines apply if government entities are involved.

Attorney Craig Small not only returns phone calls, but he got me a settlement in a record amount of time. So refreshing to deal with a lawyer who treats me like an equally intelligent adult, instead of condescendingly talking down to me like most lawyers do. I highly recommend this law firm and will use them again.
Hands down best injury lawyer around very personal and friendly, you don’t speak to a whole bunch of people regarding your case Craig speaks directly to their clients!! Both are excellent !! Still thinking of their clients months after the case settled

The people at Small Law Firm helped me deal with a situation following my getting hit by a car while on my bicycle by a person who was distracted. They were attentive, professional, and caring in their approach. I always felt they had my best interests in mind as they counseled and guided me through the very personal journey of getting restitution.
The greatest firm hands down. Craig and his team are compassionate and understanding and professional. They tell you what they can do and deliver!!!
I have been helped by this firm several times. Not just for my accident cases, but with other legal matters as well. They are attentive to your needs and go above and beyond to make sure you are totally taken care of.
