Motorcycle Accidents

Operating a motorcycle can be fun, but it can also be dangerous. No matter how safe a motorcyclist is while driving, injuries can occur due to the fault of others. Cars changing lanes or turning in front of a moving motorcycle can leave a motorcyclist little time to react. A pothole in the road can cause a motorcyclist to lose control. When an accident does occur, a motorcyclist cannot rely on airbags or the steel frame of a car for protection.

While car and truck operators in New York can receive No-Fault benefits to help cover economic losses, as a matter of law, there is no mandatory No-Fault benefits to help the operator or passengers of a motorcycle pay for economic expenses such as medical bills. A personal injury claim may be the only way for a motorcyclist to recover compensation for damages sustained in an accident.
