Motorcyclists throughout New York City and New York State face unique risks on the road. Because motorcycles offer far less protection than passenger vehicles, even a relatively minor collision can result in serious injuries. Riders must also share the road with larger vehicles and may be particularly vulnerable to distracted, inattentive, or negligent drivers.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, an experienced New York motorcycle accident attorney can help you understand your legal options and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other accident-related damages.
New York’s No-Fault insurance system generally provides benefits for medical expenses, lost earnings, and certain other costs following motor vehicle accidents, regardless of who caused the crash. However, motorcycle operators and passengers are generally excluded from these No-Fault benefits.
Because motorcyclists are not treated as covered persons under New York’s No-Fault system, an injured rider may pursue a claim against an at-fault party without first satisfying the serious injury threshold that generally applies to covered motorists seeking compensation for pain and suffering.
Motorcycle accident claims can involve complex questions of liability, insurance coverage, medical expenses, and long-term damages. At Beldock & Saunders, P.C., our attorneys understand the laws affecting injured motorcyclists in New York and can help evaluate your claim, protect your rights, and pursue the compensation that may be available under the law.
Most motorcycle accident victims are facing new challenges as they struggle to recover from serious physical injuries. The last thing you need is lengthy negotiations with insurance companies and defense lawyers. Unfortunately, the legal tactics these organizations use to avoid paying compensation leaves many accident victims with less than they deserve. Our NY-based personal injury attorneys are committed to adding value in the form of financial results. We will:
At Beldock and Saunders P.C., we have vast experience handling motorcycle accident cases. This specific experience is important because motorcycle injury cases are more complex—and involve more serious injuries—than your typical personal injury case. The challenges are also different from those faced by most traditional motor vehicle accident victims. The insurance company usually puts up a fight when serious injuries are involved. Having a trusted lawyer by your side can improve the odds that you’ll get fair compensation for your injuries. Give us a call today for a free consultation to learn more about how we can help.
While the specific nature of any accident will dictate the exact injuries that occur, some are more common than others. These include:
Different types of injuries require different treatments and costs, but some predictions can be made based on the type of injury.
Minor treatment and recovery: Cuts and bruises, minor broken bones, and similar injuries often require only minimal care. Long hospital stays are not required, though additional checkups or appointments may be necessary. This treatment can cost you medical bills and lost wages due to missed days at work.
Long-term care: More serious injuries, such as extensive damage to the limbs or multiple broken bones, can require longer care. These may involve a long hospital stay, the need for in-home care for a few months, and additional expenses. Medical bills, weeks or months of lost salary, and other expenses can all come up with such treatment.
Physical therapy: Even after an accident victim’s initial treatment and care, there might be additional long-term requirements like physical therapy. This results in long-term medical costs, loss in immediate salary, and can result in loss of future salary due to changes in lifestyle or missed career opportunities.
Lifelong recovery: Injuries that result in paralysis or similar conditions require lifelong therapy or treatment and have tremendous costs. Medical expenses, loss in salary, alterations to your home and vehicle, and other future costs can be difficult to calculate or even imagine on your own. Having an experienced attorney on your side can help relieve you of such burdens.
