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.
