What If the Accident Was Partly My Fault?

When a person is injured as a bicyclist or a pedestrian, the person at fault will often try to shift the blame to the victim. The at-fault person may claim that a biker was on the wrong side of the street or ignoring the rules of the road. Pedestrians are often accused of walking out from behind parked cars or crossing against the light. While accident victims occasionally may be partly to blame, this does not mean that the driver was not guilty of negligence, as well.

As an experienced personal injury lawyer in Queens, NY, I know how to attack these defenses to help you get full and fair compensation. Negligent drivers need to be held accountable for their actions, and you need compensation to help you recover and move forward with your life.
