A 64-year-old bicyclist was riding in a residential area of the Hamptons when a car approached from behind. In an attempt to avoid the vehicle, he steered right and encountered dirt, sand, and gravel on the road surface. This hazardous condition caused him to fall off his bike and sustain a spine fracture.

Our claim asserted that improper drainage from an adjacent driveway led to the accumulation of debris on the road, ultimately causing the accident.
