Riding a motorcycle always comes with risk. Motorcycles have smaller profiles compared to passenger vehicles, which makes them difficult for some drivers to spot on the road. This also makes it easy for a rider to be caught in a driver’s blind spot. Additionally, riding on the congested streets of Queens can make it difficult for the rider to maneuver their bike and can increase their chances of being involved in an accident. However, by far, the motorcyclist is at risk of being involved in a crash when they’re sharing the road with negligent, careless, and reckless drivers.
At Parker Waichman LLP, our Queens motorcycle accident attorneys take on several duties when they handle a motorcycle crash case. They are familiar with the laws surrounding motorcycles and know what it takes to build a strong case for compensation. With a proven track record of success, our dedicated team works tirelessly to help you secure the compensation you deserve after a motorcycle wreck. We have an office conveniently located in Queens, where we are ready to assist you.
At our law firm, our motorcycle accident lawyers can help motorcycle accident victims in many ways during this difficult time, including:
A motorcycle accident lawyer will conduct an in-depth accident investigation to determine the cause of the motorcycle collision and identify all liable parties. Your attorney may work with an accident reconstruction expert to determine how the motorcycle accident occurred and who should be held responsible. The legal team at Parker Waichman LLP will also review important documents, including the police report and medical records, motorcycle repair estimates, and interview witnesses, to uncover the truth.
Other evidence they may gather can include:
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 party’s insurance provider.
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 injury attorney to pursue compensation in court.
A lawsuit may be filed if:
At Parker Waichman LLP, a trial-tested Queens 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.
