Nassau County Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Under New York law, motorcyclists have the same rights as drivers of other vehicles on the road. There is a common bias against motorcyclists when it comes to accident fault. Insurance companies and police officers often assume that motorcyclists are reckless drivers and, therefore, responsible for accidents. This bias may appear in police accident reports and insurance claim evaluations. Unfortunately, this means that your financial recovery can be negatively impacted by this bias.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation under a wrongful death claim. Certain surviving family members may recover the economic losses they suffered as a result of their loved one’s death. These economic losses may include loss of financial support, loss of potential inheritance, and funeral expenses. In New York, emotional compensation is not recoverable for survivors under a wrongful death claim in most cases.

If your loved one survived for a period of time after the accident, you might also be able to recover compensation for his or her injuries and losses. In some cases, compensation may be available for the decedent’s pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages and medical expenses paid by the decedent or the decedent’s estate.
