Motorcycle Accidents

Skilled Brooklyn and Staten Island Accident Lawyers Protect Your Rights

It is ironic that the very reason riding a motorcycle can be so exhilarating is also the reason motorcycle accidents can be so disastrous. For it is your freedom from a car’s “cage” that makes you so vulnerable in an accident.

How Motorcycle Accidents Happen

According to studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 75% of all motorcycle accidents and 50% of fatal accidents, involve two vehicles. The second is usually a car, and the motorcyclist almost always fares worse.

High Cost of Motorcycle Accidents

In most cases it is the front of the motorcycle that is hit. This is also the point of impact that results in the most incapacitating and fatal injuries. If you have been in a motorcycle accident, you may already have a good idea of its cost, including physical and emotional pain, expensive medical bills, lost wages and property damage. 

Identifying every potential factor in an accident is important in determining who is at fault or what percent each is at fault and who is financially responsible. 

Fault can be a complex question on which you, the other driver, police and emergency responders, and insurance companies do not agree. It is even further complicated if there were equipment failures, poor road conditions, public vehicles, or obstacles involved. 

The insurance companies will want to settle as quickly as they can. They will not want to wait to discover that you have long-term medical and disability issues. To them, it’s just business. To you, it is your future. Do not agree to any settlement without talking to an attorney.

An experienced motorcycle accident attorney can help you:

  • Understand your legal options
  • Conduct an investigation into the accident
  • Challenge the police report’s findings
  • Help prevent insurance companies from settling too soon
  • Ensure that your long-term medical, psychological and financial needs are identified
  • Fight for compensation

Recovering from a motorcycle accident can be a long, hard road. And it is a road you should not head down alone.
