New York Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Motorcycle Injuries
While drivers and passengers in a car are shielded by the sturdy frame of the vehicle surrounding them, a seat belt, and an airbag, motorcyclists are merely protected by protective clothing and a motorcycle helmet. This lack of protection greatly enhances the chance for a serious injury or fatality in a motorcycle crash.
At [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″], our attorneys pursue full compensation for clients who have been injured or have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident in New York City.

Causes of New York Motorcycle Accidents
Nearly 6,000 motorcycle crashes occurred in New York during 2012, killing 173 people and seriously injuring 5,820. Largely, motorcycle accidents are caused by other negligent or inattentive drivers on the road. Through meticulous investigation, we discover various forms of negligence. Motorcycle accidents often happen because:
- A driver cuts off a motorcycle when changing lanes
- A driver follows the motorcycle too closely
- A driver fails to observe proper lane distance
- Defective tires cause a tire blowout
- A driver runs a red light or stop sign
Product defects and negligent driving can cause spinouts or rear end collisions, or can force a motorcyclist off the road. At [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″], we are skilled at helping motorcycle accident victims who have suffered serious injuries, such as brain and spinal cord injuries.
