For many New Yorkers, a motorcycle is a better transportation option than a passenger car. Unfortunately, a bike doesn't protect riders as well as a car, so traffic accidents often cause more serious injuries to motorcyclists. At Neimark Coffinas & Lapp LLP, we’ve been helping injured riders recover compensation since 1976. We understand the difficulties riders often face in establishing the cause of the crash and the liability of negligent drivers for the injuries those riders suffer. However, we've learned that persevering through tough-to-prove cases helps our clients get the best possible results time and time again.
What to do after an accident
If you are going to recover for your pain and suffering and your loss of quality of life, you must file a personal injury claim against a negligent party. Motorcyclists often have a difficult time proving that another driver was negligent, because of drivers’ claims that they “never saw [the bike] coming,” and a willingness of jurors to believe that motorcyclists are comfortable taking unnecessary risks. Our attorneys work with experts to reconstruct your accident to show who was at fault and obtain the maximum value of your claim.

Motorcycle injuries
New York requires all motorcycle riders wear a helmet, but even the best helmets can only provide partial protection in a high-speed crash. The impact can cause traumatic brain injury or wrongful death even if the helmet protects the skull. Trauma to the neck can easily cause paralysis, and other severe injuries might include:
- Broken bones
- Internal organ damage
- Paraplegia
- Road rash, which could require skin grafts
- Severe foot injuries, which could lead to amputation
