Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Manhattan, NY
Motorcycle accidents often occur because other drivers fail to see riders or respect their right to share the road. Common causes include unsafe lane changes, left-turn collisions, speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield at intersections. In Manhattan’s dense traffic environment, these risks are amplified, placing motorcyclists in constant danger.
Unlike occupants of passenger vehicles, motorcyclists have no steel frame, airbags, or seatbelts to protect them. As a result, injuries are often severe and include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, road rash, and internal organ damage. Many riders require emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and extended time away from work—or are left with permanent impairments.
The financial and emotional impact of a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming. Medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and ongoing care needs can place immense strain on victims and their families. Our Manhattan motorcycle accident attorney can help you pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, i.e. quantifiable damages (medical bills, lost wages, property damage) and unquantifiable damages (emotional distress, pain and suffering).
Unfortunately, insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame onto riders or minimize the seriousness of their injuries. Having an experienced legal advocate on your side can help level the playing field.
