Local Experience and Ongoing Dedication to New Yorkers

Steven R. Smith was born in Queens, and, throughout his life and career, he's lived in Queens County, Kings County, Nassau County, and Suffolk County.

He earned his law degree from St. John’s University School of Law, and his long history in the area means he understands the local courts and the concerns many New Yorkers face after a car accident. We believe every client deserves direct access to their attorney, regular updates, and honest answers. That is the level of service we provide in every case we handle.

On New York City streets, bike accidents can stem from numerous different causes, and we've represented cyclists injured in a wide variety of crashes. These include collisions with passenger vehicles, delivery vans, buses, and rideshare drivers. We also handle cases involving unsafe road conditions, defective bike parts, and dooring incidents where a driver opens a car door into a cyclist’s path.

Each bicycle accident has its own set of facts. At the Law Office of Steven R. Smith, we know how to review how the crash happened, where it occurred, and what conditions may have contributed to it. All of this helps us identify who may be responsible and how to present your claim in a clear and direct way, with minimal room for push-back.

We Seek Fair Compensation

Bicycle accident injuries are often severe because cyclists have little protection in a crash. You may have had to seek emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment. Our Queens bike accident lawyer will work with you to identify the full impact of the accident, including medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your daily life.

Our goal is to pursue compensation that reflects what you have experienced and what you may continue to face. We take the time to calculate your losses carefully so you are not left covering costs that should be paid by the responsible party.

We Know How Insurance Companies Work

Insurance companies often act quickly after an accident and may try to limit what they pay. We take over all communication with insurers and defense attorneys, so you do not have to handle those conversations yourself. We present your case clearly and support it with evidence that shows how the crash occurred and how it has affected you.

Because of our background on the defense side, we understand how insurers assess risk and evaluate claims, which allows us to present your case in a way that supports a fair resolution while protecting your interests.

We're Prepared to Represent You in Court

While many bicycle accident claims are resolved through settlement, some require court action. If the other side does not make a fair offer, we are prepared to take your case to trial.

Steven R. Smith has trial experience in personal injury and medical malpractice matters and is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey, including federal courts in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
