Bronx Citi Bike Accident Lawyer

Citi Bike Accident Lawyer Bronx, NY

If you were injured while using a Citi Bike, then we suggest speaking with a Bronx, NY Citi Bike accident lawyer from Blitz Law Group, LLP as soon as possible. A popular way to jet around the borough of New York City is through the use of Citi Bike. But as the use of these rental bikes becomes more prevalent, the number of accidents is going to increase too. It’s important to be aware of the fact that you could be entitled to compensation for your losses and pain and suffering through filing a personal injury lawsuit. 

Before you can have a successful legal case, you will have to identify who holds liability for your accident. Typically, to get compensation for injuries, someone else’s recklessness or negligence must have caused you harm. In many Citi Bike accidents, there are people or parties that could have contributed to your accident happening.

A Driver

In most accidents between a Citi Bike user and a motorist, it is often the latter who struck the victim because they were being reckless or failed to notice their presence on the roadway. If a driver hit you because they were distracted, drunk, or texting, then they may be liable for negligence. As a Bronx Citi Bike accident lawyer advises, if you were hit by a motorist while using a Citi Bike, be sure to exchange information with that person so you have the details required to take legal action if needed.

A Pedestrian

There are instances when a pedestrian is to blame for a Citi Bike accident. For instance, if the pedestrian did not have the right of way or was distracted when walking, a Citi Bike user may have had to swerve to avoid them. A rider who was injured as a result of a pedestrian who wasn’t watching where they were walking may be sued in a personal injury lawsuit. 

Citi Bike

Rental bike companies, such as Citi Bike, go to great lengths to distance themselves from liability. They have legal teams dedicated to avoiding responsibility in the event that a user gets seriously injured. As your Bronx Citi Bike accident lawyer can  explain, Citi Bike is probably not responsible unless the accident was from a defect on the bike or a faulty part. If the bike you used was not in good condition or was unsafe for use, the company may be liable for the injuries you sustained. 

The City of New York

NYC does not operate or own Citi Bike, but it does grant an exclusive franchise to this company. In most Citi Bike accident cases, the City of New York will not be found liable. But if the accident was due to a defect or hazard on the road that the City should have observed and remedied, but failed to do so, then it may be liable for the victim’s injuries. 

Remember, as the victim of an accident, you have rights. And your situation may make you entitled to repayment for your medical bills and other losses that resulted because of the Citi Bike accident. If this is true for you, please call a member of our team right away for assistance.
