Motorcycle accident lawyers in New York
Riders have little protection in a crash, and they are often blamed for it. We look at what really happened and protect your rights.
A motorcyclist is exposed differently than a car driver, and injuries often require long treatment.
We review how the accident happened, the traffic reports and the road conditions to explain your options clearly.
Common situations
- Vehicles turning without seeing the motorcycle.
- Unsignaled lane changes.
- Vehicle doors opened in front of the rider.
- Potholes, gravel or poorly maintained roads.
- Accidents involving commercial or delivery vehicles.

Common questions
Does not wearing a helmet affect my case?
It may be a factor in the analysis, but on its own it does not determine whether a case exists. Every situation is evaluated on its specific facts.
What information from the scene is useful?
Photographs of the final position of the vehicles, the road condition, the signage, and the details of any witness.
Should I speak with the other driver’s insurer?
It is best to consult before giving recorded statements or accepting initial offers.
When should I contact the firm?
As soon as possible. Evidence and legal deadlines are usually time-sensitive.
