New York Motorcycle Accident Attorney
The
most fuel-efficient class
of highway vehicles, motorcycles
are also the most hazardous.
Motorcycles are substantially
overrepresented in fatal
car crashes in the United
States, with the death rate
per registered motorcycle
more than three times that
of registered passenger cars.
The U.S. Department of Transportation
reported nearly 80,000 motorcycle
accidents on U.S. roadways
in 2003. In New York State
alone, there were 4,848 motorcycle
accidents in 2001, and 145
of those were fatalities.

As
a claims representative from
a major U.S. insurance company
once said, when you ride
the question isn’t
whether you will have an
accident, but when and how
bad. We are available to
talk to you about your claim
and insurance coverage questions.
You need to talk with a lawyer
who can guide you with proper
counseling and advice to
get the answers you need.
We know that No Fault is
not generally available to
motorcyclists. Its is important
to get immediate medical
attention. We know its also
important to secure medical
coverage in such situations.
We can help you find that
coverage if it exists in
your situation. That is why
many motorcyclists consult
and retain us for their case.
Motorcycle
accidents lead to many serious
musculoskeletal injuries,
fractures, spinal cord injuries,
head traumas and fatalities
each year. Motorcyclists
are at a greater risk of
injuries than most other
motorists because they are
not as well protected. Many
involve cars making a left
turn directly in front of
the bike, being run off the
road, especially on curves,
being side-swiped, struck
from behind, head-on collisions
and alcohol-related incidents.
We will be able to help assess
your injuries and determine
whether you have a substantial
and viable claim on which
you should move forward..

The
State, ranked sixth among states
in the number of licensed motorcyclists
and registered motorcycles,
now offers Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF) rider courses
in at least 24 training sites
to ensure that motorcyclists
have the knowledge and skills
to operate a motorcycle safely
and to properly protect themselves
on the road.
To protect yourself from being involved in a accident,
you should be sure to get professional training in
riding, secure proper licensing, use helmets that meet
Department of Transportation safety standards, properly
maintain your bike, avoid sharing a lane with a driver
who may not become aware of your presence, wear protective
clothing, and make sure your attire is made of abrasion-resistant
material. We know that all drivers are required to
carry liability insurance, personal injury protection
and uninsured motorist coverage. Your ability to recover
will depend on the causes and severity of the injury,
as well as your compliance with the law and other safety
precautions.
