I am a regular reader, and admirer, of Elmira bicycle accident attorney Jim Reed’s New York Bicycle Accident Lawyer Blog. Jim is always one of the first to post updates on bike equipment recalls and changes in New York laws that affect cyclists. So I was not surprised to read…
Handling Central New York bicycle accident cases has its draw backs when you are also a bicyclist. It ruins your fun. You can’t ride without thinking about the guy you are representing who may never walk again because a car at an intersection “didn’t see him” and did him in.…
I read in the Syracuse Post Standard today that a 10-year-old skateboarder was hit by a car, and ended up pinned under it, at the intersection of Jasper Street and Highland Street in Syracuse. Firefighters had to jack up the car to free the unfortunate boarder. Fortunately, he suffered only…

Unfortunately, bicycle season for me also means calls from desperate injured bicyclists and their families. About 52,000…
A horrific bicycling accident took place in Onondaga County a few weeks ago. The poor guy was riding his “road” bike, that is, a racing style bicycle, along a State Route 20. He was doing everything right; had his helmet on, was wearing proper bright clothing, was riding on the…
