Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Queens Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Following your motorcycle accident, someone may reach out to you on behalf of the liable party to offer a quick settlement for your claim. Unfortunately, this proposal will almost always leave you with compensation that is significantly lower than what your injuries justify. If you are suffering after a motorcycle collision, our legal team can help you get the financial recovery that you deserve.

If this happens, decline the offer and call a lawyer to negotiate on your behalf. To get a fair settlement, you need someone who is not afraid to stand up for your rights. That’s where your local motorcycle accident attorney in Queens comes in. We focus on obtaining a fair settlement or preparing your case for trial while you concentrate on recovering from your injuries. 

Proving Liability for Your Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Due to the lack of a protective frame, motorcycle riders have a high risk of injury during a collision. Motorcycle accidents result from:

  • A reckless or negligent driver
  • Rider error or negligence
  • Dangerous or defective roadway conditions (such as trenches or unclear traffic signals)

When it comes time to identify the at fault party or parties in a motorcycle accident, Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can help. 

Our legal team investigates the crash to determine why it happened and who is at fault. Then, we contact the liable parties and their insurance companies to seek compensation for your damages. Our motorcycle crash attorneys also take measures to downgrade your contribution if any to the accident, allowing you to receive maximum financial compensation.

Helping Victims Collect Compensation

Motorcycle accident victims can file a claim against anyone who contributed to their injuries. This list may include:

  • Drivers of passenger vehicles 
  • Commercial vehicle drivers and their companies
  • Bicyclists
  • Government or city entities
  • Bus or mass transit companies and their drivers

Keep in mind that the negligent party could also be another motorcyclist. The New York City Motorcycle Safety Study’s executive summary states that unlicensed riders are involved in 43% of New York’s fatal motorcycle accidents.

Since there may be multiple parties liable, you need to partner with a well-versed Queens motorcycle accident attorney. Every case is unique, and our experts carefully assess each one in order to seek to collect the maximum compensation for your losses.

What Damages Are Available to Motorcycle Accident Victims?

Motorcycle accidents take a physical, emotional, and financial toll on a person. If someone else caused your losses, you deserve fair compensation. 

Your lawyer will make sure you receive the appropriate settlement based on all of your injuries and damages. Depending on the specifics of your motorcycle accident claim, we may be able to obtain compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement and permanent scarring
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity due to severe injuries that prevent you from working
  • Medical expenses including hospital bills
  • Future medical expenses (such as rehabilitation)
  • Property damage

If you let insurance companies dictate your settlement, you will receive less than what your injuries merit. So instead, allow our Queens motorcycle accident lawyers to fight for your rights. Our attorneys are not afraid to turn down an unfair settlement and take insurance companies to court to obtain the payout you deserve.

How Much Does a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Cost?

Our law firm operates on a contingency fee basis. Once we obtain an acceptable settlement, we take a percentage, which we will go over with you in detail during the initial consultation. If we aren’t able to secure a settlement or court award on your behalf, you won’t owe us any fee.  

We recognize that our clients have a lot on their plate following a motorcycle accident. The last thing we want is to burden them with out-of-pocket fees. We don’t get paid until you get paid, which is why you can feel confident we will fight for fair compensation.

What Can a Law Firm Do After a Fatal Motorcycle Accident?

Fatal motorcycle crashes in New York are on the rise. WGRZ reports a 20% increase in motorcycle fatalities between 2019 and 2020. If you lost a loved one in a Queens motorcycle accident, our attorneys will file a wrongful death lawsuit within the state’s required deadline to ensure you receive compensation for your loss.

The unexpected death of a loved one impacts your emotional and financial well-being. The loss of income and potential future earnings creates a burden that you may have trouble overcoming. A wrongful death claim helps a victim’s loved one make ends meet after a fatal accident.

What If You Are Partially Liable for a Queens Motorcycle Crash? 

Since New York is a comparative fault state, you can still recover damages even if you are partially liable for a motorcycle collision. As long as someone else is also at fault, you are eligible to seek damages and obtain financial recovery.

After a motorcycle crash, each liable party receives a percentage of the blame. Your total eligible compensation is based on your fault percentage. For example, if you were determined to be 10% responsible, you would subtract 10% from your monetary damages. If you suffered damages of $100,000, you would be able to receive $90,000 instead of the total $100,000.

When you partner with our Queens motorcycle accident attorneys, we will work to minimize your liability and demonstrate how other parties contributed to the accident.

What Causes Motorcycle Crashes in Queens?

Who you are able to file a claim against after a motorcycle wreck will depend on the cause of the accident. In Queens, motorcycle accidents commonly occur when another driver fails to:

  • Judge the approximate speed or direction of an approaching motorcycle
  • Resist the temptation to text or use their phone behind the wheel
  • Obey speed limits and other traffic laws
  • Properly survey an intersection before turning
  • Check for motorcycles before merging into a new lane or roadway
  • Maintain a safe driving distance from other vehicles (tailgating)

Motorcycle collisions also occur due to dangerous road conditions and poor visibility. These conditions stem from construction, lighting conditions and improper roadway maintenance and repairs. 

In addition, statistics show reckless and illegal behaviors frequently cause motorcycle crashes. According to the Insurance Information Institute’s (III) motorcycle crash data, 34% of motorcycle fatalities involved alcohol in 2019.
