A pizza delivery worker who was riding a bicycle was severely injured after being hit by a car in Lower East Side on Monday, February 8. The police arrested the driver after he fled the scene by foot.

The twenty-one-year-old driver was operating a grey Honda sedan about 6:30 p.m., driving west on Delancey St., when he hit0 the cyclist as he pedalled south on Columbia St. just at the underpass of the Williamsburg Bridge splits the road.

The medics transported the cyclists to Bellevue Hospital. The man who is believed to be in his forties was in critical condition after being hit by a car in Lower East Side. The police haven’t released his name.

The collision destroyed the front grille of the car and indented the windshield. The driver later returned and surrendered to police. Then he was transported to Bellevue Hospital after complaining of wrist pain. 

Bicycle accidents tend to end with severe injuries for the cyclists. They have no protection so when a car hits them, even if the vehicle isn’t speeding, the injuries will be severe.

Usually, cyclists end with traumatic brain injuries, broken bones and spine injuries not from the impact itself, but after they hit the ground.

If you were injured in a similar accident and the accident was clearly caused by the other party, you should get legal help. 

Your injuries might be life-threatening and the entire medical treatment will be expensive.

What you need to do is file a compensation claim against the driver’s insurance company and seek a settlement for all the expenses such as lost wages, medical bills and other injury-related expenses.

A good attorney should know how to help you with your case. It’s important not to give up until you get a suitable settlement that will cover all your costs.

  • Joe and I just wanted to send you this note thanking you for the professional way you handled our lawsuit. Your kindness was extremely appreciated in a very difficult time. When we found out the people that caused the accident had no insurance, we thought our chances of receiving any settlement was nonexistent. Once we met with you and released you were able to help us our minds were put at ease. Your aggressive manner of handling the case exceeded our expectations. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you so much and best wishes,

  • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.
