Five essential tips for bicyclists involved in an accident with a car

  1. Seek medical attention for any injuries, even minor injuries. Often injuries that result from a car accident intensify in the hours and days following an accident. It’s best to be cautious.
  2. Obtain a Police Accident Report. It is always a good idea to call the police to the scene of an accident. However, it is also possible to file a police report following the accident.
  3. Contact the offending car’s automobile insurance carrier to file a no-fault application. Also, contact your automobile insurance carrier to report the accident just in case the other person’s insurance is not valid. All medical bills will be paid by the other vehicle’s no-fault insurance.
  4. Do not give any statements to the other vehicle’s insurance company without first consulting with an attorney.
  5. Contact a personal injury lawyer for a free consultation.

Scales of justice

Trial Ready Strategy

Most personal injury lawsuits are settled out of court at some point before a trial. Many personal injury law firms in Nassau County don’t fully prepare their cases for trial when anticipating a settlement. This weakens their position when it comes time to negotiating a settlement. At Palermo Law, we always fully prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This level of preparation gives us the leverage to negotiate the highest possible compensation for our clients and puts us in a strong position should a trial become necessary.

Focused on Helping the Injured

We realize that being really well versed in any one area of law takes focus. Personal injury law is no exception. That’s why our Garden City personal injury lawyers only handle personal injury cases. Steven Palermo, our managing partner, has been exclusively handling personal injury cases for the last two decades. We handle all types of personal injury cases for the injured, including car accidents, slip and falls and work related accidents. We have never represented an insurance company and never will. We do what we do because we love helping people.

We offer every potential personal injury client a free, no obligation consultation at any of our six locations throughout Long Island. During the consultation, we will discuss your case in detail and give you our opinion on the chances of success. We will also discuss our potential strategy and our process for handling your case.
