New York is a “comparative fault” state, which means that fault for an accident can be divided among multiple parties based on their degree of responsibility for the bicycle accident.
If the bicycle accident was caused by the negligence of a motorist, such as a driver who failed to yield the right of way or who was driving while distracted, the injured bicyclist may be able to seek compensation for their injuries and other damages from the driver or the driver’s insurance company.
If the bicycle accident was caused by the negligence of the bicyclist, such as riding against traffic or ignoring traffic signals, then the bicyclist may be held liable for the accident.
