The liability rules and insurance laws in New York are different for motorcyclists than they are for passenger drivers. In New York, a motorcycle isn’t considered a motor vehicle. Because of this, a rider isn’t covered under the no-fault law and isn’t entitled to coverage for lost wages and medical expenses. However, the rider can still pursue compensation and does not have to meet the serious injury threshold to bring a claim against the negligent driver’s insurer.
Most motorcycle accident cases settle out of court. If the insurance company isn’t willing to make a reasonable settlement offer, your attorney can resolve your case through negotiations. However, some factors may compel a motorcycle accident attorney to pursue compensation in court.
A lawsuit may be filed if:
At Parker Waichman LLP, a trial-tested Brooklyn motorcycle accident lawyer on our legal team will fight aggressively for you in court, presenting a compelling case that will prove your demand for compensation.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents can include:
A motorcyclist has little protection from the road or vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds. When a motorcyclist is involved in an accident, especially when a vehicle is involved, they often suffer serious injuries that can require extensive, ongoing medical treatment.
Common injuries sustained in motorcycle crashes include:
No. The only state that legally allows lane splitting is California. New York prohibits lane splitting.
Motorcyclists are also prohibited from:
If you are involved in an accident and lane splitting caused or contributed to the accident, it can affect the settlement amount you’re entitled to. Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP to learn more.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
