Motorcycle Accidents
New York and New Jersey’s Trusted Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Have you or a loved one suffered serious injuries on the road? Motorcycles, by their very nature, offer less protection than other vehicles. In New York, the statistics are stark, with thousands hospitalized or seeking emergency care due to motorcycle accidents every year. At PPID, our team understands the unique vulnerabilities of motorcyclists on the road. We’ve seen firsthand the devastating impact of these accidents and are here to fight for the rights of those injured due to someone else’s negligence.
Common Causes of New York Motorcycle Accidents
There are many things that can lead to a motorcycle accident, such as:
- Distracted driving – Drivers occupied with texting, talking, or other distractions often overlook motorcycles on the road.
- Tailgating – Following too closely increases the risk of deadly rear-end collisions involving motorcyclists.
- Speeding – Excessive speed not only endangers motorcyclists but also leads to higher impact and control loss.
- Ignoring traffic signals – Failure to obey stop signs or red lights poses risks to motorcyclists and other motorists.
- Driving under the influence – Impaired drivers pose heightened dangers, especially to less visible motorcycles.
- Negligent left-hand turns – Accidents often occur when drivers fail to notice oncoming motorcycles while turning left.
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists often suffer severe injuries, including:
- Head trauma
- Limb fractures
- Thoracic injuries
- Spinal damage
Recovering Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Injuries:
Insurance laws for motorcycles differ significantly from those for cars in New York. Motorcycles are not considered motor vehicles under the state’s no-fault law, which means injured motorcyclists are not entitled to medical and lost wage benefits as vehicles are. However, our seasoned attorneys specialize in navigating these complexities to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible for your suffering and losses caused by another’s negligence.
