Do motorcycle riders face bias in injury claims?

Unfortunately, yes. Insurance adjusters and even juries sometimes assume the motorcyclist was being reckless. Our attorneys counter this bias with evidence, expert testimony, and compelling case presentation to ensure riders are treated fairly.

What if I wasn't wearing a helmet during the accident?

While New York requires helmet use, not wearing one does not automatically bar you from recovering compensation. The other driver's negligence is still the primary issue. We'll evaluate how this factor may affect your specific case.

What types of injuries are common in motorcycle accidents?

Motorcycle accidents frequently cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, road rash, internal injuries, and limb loss. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and long recovery periods.

What to Do Next

Preserve your helmet, jacket, and gear as physical evidence.
