Bicycle Accident Attorney in Staten Island
Attorney Paul D. Gentile: Personally Handling Cyclist Injury Claims Since 1998
Cyclists on Staten Island roads face real risks. Major arterial roads like Hylan Boulevard carry heavy car, truck, and bus traffic alongside riders who have no steel frame or airbags between them and the impact. Even a moderate-speed collision can cause fractures, head injuries, and injuries that can take months to recover from.
Attorney Paul D. Gentile handles bicycle accident claims for our firm. He works directly with injured cyclists and pedestrians, providing hands-on attention from the first consultation through resolution. If you’ve been hurt in a crash on Staten Island, he’s the attorney you’ll work with.
Call us at (646) 891-1329 to schedule a free consultation with Attorney Paul D. Gentile about your bicycle accident claim. We’re available by phone, virtual meeting, or in person at our Staten Island office.
Why Work with Attorney Paul D. Gentile
Before focusing on personal injury law, Paul D. Gentile served as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, where he prosecuted hundreds of cases. That courtroom experience shapes how he approaches every claim. He doesn’t build a case assuming it will settle; he builds it ready for trial. That preparation can produce strong positioning before a case ever reaches a courtroom.
Our firm has served clients across Staten Island, all five boroughs of New York City, and New Jersey since 1998. As a smaller practice, we don’t route clients through layers of staff. You work directly with Attorney Gentile, who stays involved from intake through outcome.
Initial consultations are free and carry no obligation. If we take your case, we’re compensated only if we recover for you. Nothing is owed upfront.

What a Bicycle Accident Claim Can Recover
A bicycle accident claim may seek compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by the crash. These losses can be significant, particularly when injuries require surgery, extended rehabilitation, or time away from work.
Filing deadlines matter. Under CPLR §214, most personal injury claims in New York, including bicycle accident claims, must be filed within three years of the date of injury. That window is shorter when a government vehicle is involved. If a city bus or other government-owned vehicle caused the accident, an injured cyclist has only 90 days from the date of the accident to file a notice of claim. Missing that deadline may affect your ability to recover compensation, which is why speaking with a bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible after the crash matters.
