Frequently Asked Questions

 


Q: Do I really need a lawyer, or can I just handle my motorcycle accident claim on my own?

A: It is important to remember that New York motorcycle crashes are among the most serious accidents on the road. Over 95 percent of all motorcycle accidents lead to some kind of injury, and 45 percent of these accidents result in serious injuries. Most motorcycle accidents are also caused by other drivers, who often carelessly crash into motorcyclists.

Because of the serious nature of New York motorcycle crashes, as well as the driver negligence involved in many of these accidents, victims are usually eligible to receive compensation for their injuries. An experienced Long Island motorcycle accident attorney is crucial for these cases.

Proceeding without a knowledgeable attorney can be like groping for a light switch in a dark room. Insurance companies, whose only interest is in paying out as little as possible, use numerous different tactics to delay or derail your claim, usually inducing you finally to settle for much less than you deserve.

You could handle your motorcycle accident claim on your own, but it is a significant logistical undertaking, and you run a very large risk of getting little or no compensation at all. In the long run, you are much better off hiring an attorney to handle your claim.
