What to know about bicycle accident cases in Nassau County
Bike infrastructure in Nassau
Hempstead, Garden City, Long Beach, Hicksville, and the Five Towns have a mix of protected lanes, painted lanes, and shared streets. Each surface type creates different injury patterns; we identify the right liability theory for the crash configuration.
Dooring (car-door) liability
NY law makes it illegal to open a vehicle door into traffic. Dooring is a clear-liability case and a frequent injury pattern in Nassau.
E-bike class matters
NY e-bike and scooter classification law defines three classes of e-bike. Class 3 e-bikes (28 mph) have different rules. Insurance coverage and rider-fault analysis depends on class — we figure that out at intake.
Cyclists covered by no-fault
When struck by a motor vehicle, cyclists are covered by the driver's no-fault policy for medical bills and lost wages up to $50,000.
Venue and filing
Nassau bicycle-injury claims are filed at Nassau County Supreme Court at 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola. For City-defect cases (potholes, missing bike-lane markings), 90-day notice of claim applies.
