Unfortunately, most motorcycle accidents result in broken bones and other significant injuries. In those rare cases, however, where there are no broken bones and the injuries sustained are “soft tissue” type injuries, motorcycle riders have a major advantage over car accident victims in personal injury claims. Unlike car accident victims, motorcyclists do not have to prove that they suffered a “serious physical injury” before they can recover money damages for their pain and suffering (“non-economic loss”) associated with their injuries.

As such, certain types of injuries have a much greater settlement value in a motorcycle case as opposed to a car accident case and you need an experienced motorcycle accident attorney in New York City who knows the difference.

Understanding Motorcycle Accident Fault Statistics

According to the Insurance Information Institute, motorcyclists are at-fault for most accidents involving a motor vehicle with only 25% of accidents being single-vehicle accidents. Problems that often come up in motorcycle accident litigation is the issue of comparative fault. Drivers who hit motorcyclists often argue that the motorcycle rider caused the accident, so that driver shouldn’t have to pay for the injuries and damages suffered by the motorcyclist.

Unfortunately, some people have unfair and biased opinions about motorcycles and those who ride them and they may be quick to assume that the accident was the fault of the motorcyclist. You have the same rights on the roadways as everyone else and The Pryor Law Firm will help make sure that your rights are protected, that you are treated fairly by the insurance company and that any jurors selected for your trial are fair and open minded about motorcyclists in New York City.
