Motorcycles offer less protection than vehicles, and the injuries from a motorcycle accident can often be more severe. Bronx motorcycle accident fatalities have increased in recent years, even though motorcycle riders only make up about 2% of all vehicles on the road. Motorcycle accident victims often experience the following injuries:
If you have been hurt in a motorcycle accident in the Bronx due to someone else’s negligence, call our knowledgeable motorcycle accident lawyers at The Barnes Firm. We understand that even with protective gear, motorcycle riders can experience severe injuries-and we are available to answer any questions you have after being injured in a motorcycle accident.
If your motorcycle accident involved a government vehicle or property, you may have a claim against the government entity. Although special rules, such as shortened timeframes for filing claims, apply to these situations, an experienced Bronx motorcycle accident attorney can guide you towards obtaining compensation. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident where a government entity may be at fault, call The Barnes Firm at (800) 800-0000 to speak with a lawyer today.
New York state law requires you to file an accident report if:
Promptly filing an accident report is crucial for accurately documenting the incident itself and preserving your rights.
Personal Injury Protection, otherwise known as PIP, is no-fault insurance coverage that covers up to $50,000 in medical expenses or lost wages for someone involved in an accident. However, this coverage isn’t available to motorcyclists in New York. Therefore, motorcyclists involved in accidents are often left with no option other than pursuing a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the motorist who injured them. The one advantage of this is that motorcyclists, lacking PIP, do not have to prove whether any of their injuries cross New York’s “serious injury” threshold. This enables them to pursue maximum compensation for their injuries and losses.
It’s important to note that having a trusted motorcycle accident attorney makes a difference when filing a claim. That’s why if you or a loved one have been wrongfully injured in a motorcycle accident, you’ll want a Bronx motorcycle accident attorney from The Barnes Firm on your side.

“Igor at The Barnes Firm took my motorcycle accident case and succeeded in getting the settlement for me. He handled it with confidence and I am glad I took my case to Igor. Recommend him 100% for any motorcycle related accidents.”
Most people have never needed a lawyer when they find themselves injured and in need of legal advice. We hear the following questions from many of our clients. We hope the answers help clarify your options and considerations.
Car drivers are the parties most at fault for causing motorcycle accidents. It is often due to poor driving skills. Other times, they have a complete disregard for motorcycles. To determine fault, you may need an investigation to gather the following:
This evidence will be essential for determining who is at fault, such as:
The key is to determine a breach of duty. Once you do, then the fault is easier to assess.
Motorcycle accidents happen for many reasons. The most common causes of New York motorcycle accidents are:
In New York, 2% of registered vehicles are motorcycles. However, they account for 14% of all fatalities. Nearly 100% of deaths are male drivers, 56% being riders under 35. Passenger vehicles make up 92% of all registered vehicles. In 2020, 76% of the 54,272 fatal accidents involved cars.
Most accidents occur on city streets. One of the most dangerous areas is the Hudson Valley, found in Newburgh. In a recent year, 3,827 motorcyclists suffered injuries in collisions. Several New York counties are highly susceptible to motorcycle accidents, including:
These counties accounted for 53% of all motorcycle crashes statewide. Most accidents happen during twilight or nighttime hours and during the summer. Regardless of the circumstance of the crash, you must speak to a New York motorcycle accident lawyer.
Riders are 27 times more likely to die in accidents than other motorists. While most people assume that motorcyclists are reckless and, therefore, the cause of these collisions, that is not the case. The truth is that another driver’s actions cause most motorcycle crashes. It is estimated that about 25% of collisions are the rider’s fault.
Yes, you can recover compensation for pain and suffering. These damages are available when a person suffers a severe injury. Insurance companies must look at the severity and permanency of your injuries. Emotional injuries and mental anguish are intangible losses. That makes it harder to calculate.
Motorcycle collision lawsuit lengths will vary depending on the evidence and case facts. When these cases involve multiple parties, it will take longer to resolve. When the case involves a single defendant, it can take less time. Some cases can be resolved within a few weeks, and others several months. In extreme cases, it can take a year or more.
