Accidentes de Motocicleta
Motorcycle riders are exposed. One careless driver, one unsafe road condition, or one ignored hazard can change everything in seconds.
Then comes the second hit: automatic blame.
Insurance companies, drivers, and even the city look for reasons to fault the rider — to minimize injuries, deny claims, and avoid paying what's owed.
We don't allow that narrative to stand. We take a stand against it for you.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident anywhere in New York City, our trial attorneys are ready to act immediately. We handle cases across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and New Jersey.
Our attorneys understand motorcycle dynamics, rider rights, and the tactics insurers use to target bikers. When you ride with LawNow, you ride with a team that fights back.
01.Why Motorcycle Accident Cases Are Different
Motorcycle accidents are not car accidents — legally or medically.
Riders suffer far more severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and permanent disfigurement. Despite the severity of these injuries, insurers treat these cases aggressively, exploiting rider bias and New York’s serious injury threshold to deny compensation. Motorcycle cases demand:
- ›Immediate evidence preservation
- ›Advanced accident reconstruction
- ›Aggressive legal positioning from day one
We build every motorcycle case as if it’s going to trial — because that’s how you force insurers and defendants to take riders seriously.
02.Common NYC Motorcycle Accidents We Handle
New York City is one of the most dangerous environments for riders. We represent clients injured in:
NYC motorcycle accidents occur in many different ways. From intersection collisions to highway pileups, each type of crash requires a specific approach to proving fault and securing compensation. Our team has extensive experience handling the full range of motorcycle accident scenarios.
- ›Left-turn motorcycle collisions
- ›Door prize accidents caused by parked vehicles
- ›Lane-change and blind-spot crashes
- ›Pothole, steel plate, and road construction accidents
- ›Delivery moped and e-bike crashes
- ›Uber and Lyft motorcycle collisions
- ›Multi-vehicle traffic pileups
From Midtown Manhattan to Downtown Brooklyn and across all five boroughs, we know the patterns — and how to prove fault.
03.Who Is Liable in a New York Motorcycle Accident?
Liability in a motorcycle crash often extends beyond a single driver. Depending on the facts, responsible parties may include:
Determining liability in a motorcycle accident requires a thorough investigation of the circumstances. Unlike car accidents where fault may be straightforward, motorcycle crashes often involve multiple contributing factors and responsible parties that must be identified early.
- ›Negligent drivers who failed to yield or watch for riders
- ›Employers or delivery companies
- ›Rideshare drivers and vehicle owners
- ›The City of New York for dangerous road conditions
- ›Construction contractors responsible for unsafe surfaces
We identify every liable party and pursue maximum accountability — not partial settlements.
04.Serious Motorcycle Injuries We Litigate
Motorcycle crashes frequently result in life-altering harm. We handle cases involving:
The injuries suffered in motorcycle crashes are among the most severe in personal injury law. Unlike car accident victims, riders have no protective enclosure, leaving them vulnerable to direct impact with vehicles, the roadway, and other objects at high speeds.
- ›Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- ›Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- ›Road rash, burns, and permanent scarring
- ›Multiple fractures and internal injuries
- ›Wrongful death motorcycle accidents
These are high-stakes cases. They require long-term medical understanding, expert testimony, and relentless litigation pressure.
05.How We Build Winning Motorcycle Accident Cases
Our approach is direct, aggressive, and evidence-driven:
Building a winning motorcycle accident case requires immediate action and meticulous preparation. From the moment we take a case, our team works aggressively to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and build the strongest possible legal strategy.
- ›Immediate crash investigation and scene analysis
- ›Traffic camera, dashcam, and surveillance review
- ›Accident reconstruction experts
- ›Medical specialists documenting long-term impact
- ›Early and forceful confrontation with insurers
We don’t wait for insurance companies to define the case. We define it for them.
06.Why Injured Riders Choose Our Firm
Many firms process cases. We apply pressure by offering:
Motorcycle accident victims need more than just a lawyer — they need advocates who understand the unique challenges riders face. Our firm is built to provide that level of specialized representation and aggressive advocacy.
- ›Trial attorneys, not settlement mills
- ›Emergency legal response when evidence matters most
- ›24/7 availability — accidents don’t wait for office hours
- ›No fee unless we win
- ›Serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and New Jersey
We understand the risks riders take — and we refuse to let those who put them at risk escape responsibility.
07.How Insurance Companies Exploit Rider Bias
Insurance adjusters and defense attorneys rely on deep-seated bias against motorcyclists to devalue claims.
They argue that riders assumed the risk, that the injuries were pre-existing, or that the rider was speeding or lane-splitting — even when evidence shows otherwise. This bias is used to justify lowball offers and deny valid claims.
- ›Blaming the rider for wearing insufficient gear
- ›Claiming lane-splitting or filtering caused the crash
- ›Arguing that helmet-only injuries are less severe
- ›Using motorcyclist's choice of bike against them
We counteract this bias with hard evidence, expert testimony, and a willingness to take every case to trial.
08.Compensation You May Be Entitled To
When a motorcycle accident leaves you injured, the law allows you to pursue compensation for the full scope of your losses.
When a motorcycle accident changes your life, you deserve full compensation for every loss you have suffered. New York law allows injured riders to pursue damages that go far beyond what insurance companies initially offer.
- ›Emergency medical treatment and ongoing care
- ›Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- ›Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma
- ›Permanent disability and disfigurement
- ›Motorcycle repair or replacement costs
- ›Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
We quantify every element of your damages and fight for every dollar you are owed.
