Compensation You Could Seek

Motorcycling can be a fun and exciting way to get around. The motorcycle presents safety issues that are different from a vehicle, however, as motorcycles can be difficult for other drivers to notice on the road. Motorcyclists and car drivers alike must remain aware of their surroundings to avoid a collision. When a crash involving a motorcycle does occur, the results can become serious very easily.

Motorcycle drivers are often at a much higher risk of fatality in the event of a crash compared to other vehicle drivers. The motorcyclist does not have the protection of a vehicle around them, among other factors. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that motorcycle crashes are 27 times more likely to end in fatality.

A lawyer from our team serving Uniondale can walk you through the claims process and outline what a lawsuit could do for your case.

A personal injury lawsuit after a motorcycle crash can allow the victim to recover some of the more intangible costs they have incurred. If you were the victim in your collision, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the negligent driver, and you could seek both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are those that have an easily-determined dollar value. Non-economic damages are not as easy to put a price on, but they still greatly affect your life.

Some of these losses you could pursue through a lawsuit include:

  • Medical bills for visits to your doctor, specialist, physical therapists, and other health professionals
  • Expenses for medical equipment and medications
  • Hospital bills including emergency room visits and hospital stays
  • Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and inconvenience
  • Loss of consortium, which is meant to compensate for the loss of some aspects of your relationships

This is just an example of some of the losses you can recover with a lawsuit. A lawyer from our team can help you determine the right amount to pursue and what losses can be included in a lawsuit.

Do Not Miss the Statute of Limitations

Generally, a victim has three years from the time of the collision to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to the New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214. This statute of limitations can vary, however, based on the circumstances of your case, and can be much shorter than three years. You can discuss the details of your crash with a lawyer. A motorcycle accident lawyer serving Uniondale can tell you if any of these exceptions apply in your situation.

You may also be able to file to recover damages on behalf of a loved one who died because of their injuries from a motorcycle collision. In this case, you generally have two years from the time of the person’s death to file, according to New York Estates, Powers, and Trusts (EPTL) §5-4.1.

If you fail to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out, you may not be able to pursue a case. Do not delay. You can begin the process now by calling us for your free consultation.

Motorcycle Crash Risks

There are, of course, many causes for a motorcycle collision. Some behaviors are riskier than others, though. Two top preventable behaviors are speeding and alcohol use. Both of these factors can greatly increase the risk of a crash. The Insurance Information Institute (III) reports that in 2018, alcohol impairment was a factor in 31% of motorcycle crash fatalities.

Wearing a helmet is an easy way for a motorcyclist to lower their risk of head injury or death. The state of New York requires helmets and protective eyewear for both drivers and passengers. According to the New York State Department of Health, head injuries are the leading cause of motorcycle crash fatalities, and riders who do not wear a helmet are three times as likely to suffer a head injury.

Other causes for collisions include driver inexperience, distracted drivers, and road conditions. Many collisions can be prevented through driver responsibility and attention. If the other driver in your motorcycle crash was negligent or irresponsible, they may be liable for your losses. One of our lawyers can help you build a case to show that you were the victim.
