How Can a Long Island Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help?

When a motorcyclist collides with a passenger vehicle, it can result in devastating or fatal injuries, a totaled bike, extensive medical treatment, and months or even years of recovery time. If you’re unable to return to work due to your injuries and you’re struggling to make ends meet, you must take legal action as soon as possible.
At Parker Waichman LLP, our Long Island motorcycle accident lawyers can help you recover the compensation you need to pay medical bills, make up for lost wages, and alleviate other burdens.

Some of the many other ways we can help include:

  • Explaining each step of the legal process
  • Providing the guidance and support you need
  • Investigating the accident
  • Gathering evidence, such as medical records, police reports, wage loss records, medical bills, and more.
  • Collecting statements from witnesses
  • Gathering other evidence such as photos of your injuries, the accident scene, vehicle damage, motorcycle damage
  • Handling all communication with the insurance company to protect your rights and your claim
  • Negotiating a fair settlement
  • Filing a lawsuit, if necessary, and representing you in court

Pursuing Compensation After a Motorcycle Crash

A motorcyclist doesn’t have to prove that their injuries meet New York’s serious injury threshold and can pursue compensation even if they sustained only minor injuries. To recover compensation, a motorcyclist can file a claim against the driver’s insurance provider. An attorney on our legal team can help you file a claim, handle all communication with the insurance company, and negotiate a fair settlement.

Economic and Non-Economic Damages

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, an experienced Long Island motorcycle accident lawyer can help you seek fair compensation. Our goal is to help you recover compensation for your injuries, medical bills, property damage, and other losses.

After a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to the following types of compensation:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Medical bills related to your injuries including surgeries and hospitalization
  • The cost of future medical care, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
  • Past, present, and future lost wages
  • Property damage

And more.

Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP to schedule a free consultation to learn what types of damages you may be entitled to after a motorcycle accident. Our Long Island motorcycle accident lawyers have helped countless accident victims recover fair compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and other losses.

You don’t have to go through the legal process alone. Knowing what your case is worth is difficult, making it more challenging to ensure you recover the compensation you’re entitled to. Because state liability and insurance laws differ for motorcyclists and drivers, a skilled motorcycle accident attorney on our legal team has the experience, resources, and knowledge needed to build a strong case that will help you recover fair compensation.
