Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Motorcycles, unlike automobiles, lack the weight and safety 
features that prevent injury to individuals who are involved. Air bags and/or seat belts are not available to offer any type of protection in the unfortunate event of an accident. This fact results in about 80 % of motorcycle accidents that end in either death or serious injury. Recently studies have shown that about 70% of accidents that involved a motorcycle were the result of automobile drivers not being able to see the motorcyclist until it was too late. Other factors may also add to causes of a motorcycle accident:
- Driving at unsafe speeds
- Poor and/or limited visibility
- Influence of alcohol and/or drugs
- Poor Road Conditions
- Skill of the rider
- Weather Condition
Motorcycle injury cases are usually complex. Accident victims require the counsel of litigators who are experienced in dealing with the bias that bikers often face from law enforcement officers investigating the accident, insurance adjusters, and juries.
What to do after a Motorcycle Accident?
- Immediately Call 911 for help and report the accident.
- File an accident report with the police, sheriff, highway patrol or a local agency. DO NOT leave the scene of accident without making a report because that may jeopardize your case.
- Write down the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver’s license number of any and all persons involved in the accident. Record names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
- Obtain photographs of the accident scene, all vehicles involved (before repairing) and any visible injuries to the parties involved, such as cuts, bruises, and scars.
- Do not discuss the accident or your injuries with anyone, with the exception of your doctor and your attorney.
- Do not consent to a recorded statement or sign any document without first reviewing it with your attorney. Innocent statements made by you attempting to assist an insurance adjuster can easily be misinterpreted and used to deny or minimize your recovery.
- Immediately seek medical attention and tell your doctor the nature and extent of your pain and injury, and how the injury occurred. Something that looks like a minor injury at that moment can be life threatening if not taken care of properly.
- To file a no fault application you have 30 days from the date of accident if you fail to file within that time period, you may not be able to obtain no fault benefits.

Motorcycle accidents can be severe, and if you have been in one, you may want to consider talking to a motorcycle accident lawyer. Motorcycles are much smaller than other vehicles on the road, and as a result, they can be easily overlooked by other drivers.

If you have been the victim of a motorcycle accident, a motorcycle accident lawyer can help you recover damages from the responsible party.

What are the causes of accidents?
Motorcycles account for more than 28% of motor vehicle accidents. The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is a car turning into the rider’s path. This is caused by drivers failing to check their blind spots or making a turn without signaling first.
Motorcycle drivers should take extra care when on the road to prevent these accidents. Motorcycle drivers should ride defensively and always assume that drivers won’t see them, so they should be prepared to react quickly if necessary.
Most of the time, it’s easy to tell what caused an accident; you can look at the bike and see it was skidding on a slippery surface, or you can see that someone collided with a car. Sometimes accidents are hard to explain because they didn’t happen in front of anyone or so long ago. If you’ve been in an accident and suspect that another party was at fault, don’t hesitate to contact our team for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

Suppose you have been involved in a motorcycle accident.

What are the main types of a motorcycle accidents?
Motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of death and injury in New York City. In 2017, more than 4,000 motorcycle accidents in the city resulted in more than 1,000 injuries and more than 100 fatalities. The leading causes of these accidents include distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, speeding and driver aggression, drunk or drugged driving, traffic violations, unsafe turns, left-turn accidents, road hazards, tailgating, and vehicle defects. While many causes are beyond the control of motorcycle riders,
they can take some steps to help reduce the risk of being involved in an accident. Motorcyclists should always wear helmets and protective clothing, obey all traffic laws and avoid riding in bad weather or areas with high rates of accidents. By taking these precautions, riders can help to reduce their chances of being involved in a severe or fatal accident.
