Our Approach to Motorcycle Accident Claims

When you're recovering from a motorcycle accident, the last thing you should worry about is a complex legal process. Our team is committed to making this journey as clear and efficient as possible. From the moment you connect with us, we work diligently to gather the necessary facts and build a compelling case on your behalf.

Here's how we support you:

• We manage communication with insurers. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or place blame on the rider. We handle all communication with them, shielding you from their tactics and preventing you from inadvertently harming your case.
• We investigate the incident. We meticulously review police reports, interview witnesses, collect video footage, and gather accident data. Our goal is to establish liability and document the true cause of the crash.
• We document all losses. A motorcycle accident's cost extends far beyond emergency room visits. We compile evidence of your medical bills, lost income, long-term care needs, and other damages to build a complete and accurate picture of your losses.
• We advocate for you. While we are always prepared to negotiate for a fair settlement, our team is also ready to proceed to trial if the insurance company's offer is inadequate.

Understanding New York Motorcycle Accident Laws

Motorcycle accidents in New York follow different legal rules than passenger vehicle crashes. Our role is to help you navigate these laws strategically so that your rights are fully protected.

For riders in Hicksville, some of the most important laws include:

• No-Fault Insurance Exclusion. Motorcyclists are not covered under New York’s no-fault system. Instead, you must bring claims directly against negligent drivers to recover compensation.
• Comparative Negligence. Even if you share some fault for the accident, you may still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. Our team works to limit any blame placed on you.
• Helmet & Eye Protection Requirements. State law requires riders to wear helmets and protective eyewear. Failure to do so does not prevent a claim but may impact how insurers argue your case.
• Pain & Suffering Claims. Unlike drivers of cars, motorcyclists can pursue pain and suffering damages without meeting a “serious injury threshold.”
• Statute of Limitations. You generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim, and two years for a wrongful death action.

Common Challenges Motorcycle Accident Victims Face

Motorcycle crashes often bring unique obstacles, both medically and legally. Our firm is prepared to tackle issues such as:

• Bias against motorcyclists. Insurance companies and juries sometimes view bikers as reckless. We counter this unfair narrative with strong evidence and compelling factual narratives that focus on driver negligence.
• Multiple liable parties. From negligent drivers to commercial carriers or municipalities responsible for unsafe roads, several parties may share liability. We conduct a thorough investigation to identify all potential at-fault parties and pursue every possible avenue for compensation.
• Complex insurance disputes. Motorcycle insurance coverage is often more complicated, requiring careful review of policies and exclusions. We meticulously review all policies and handle all communications with insurance adjusters to help protect your rights and pursue a fair settlement.
