A 27-year-old bicyclist riding a Citi Bike was struck by a vehicle while crossing an intersection in Manhattan.
The collision left him with a fractured leg that required surgery. Despite treatment, he later developed foot drop, a permanent condition that affects mobility and daily function.
The case settled for $1.5 million.
As more New Yorkers choose bicycles as a convenient and affordable way to get around the city, sharing the road safely has never been more important. Drivers have a responsibility to remain alert and respect the rights of cyclists, particularly at intersections where serious collisions can occur.
