Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle collisions are dangerous and can result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection offered by other vehicles. In a motorcycle collision, the rider is often thrown off, which increases chances of hitting the pavement, other cars sharing the road, and objects nearby. While helmets can protect riders from some types of head injuries, the jarring force of the collision can lead to brain and bodily injuries like concussions, road rash abrasions, soft tissue damage, knee injuries, fractures, and spinal cord damage. These injuries require immediate medical aid and may take a long recovery time. With medical bills, lost earning capacity, and emotional distress adding to the burden, it is best to seek legal representation from a knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorney to maximize your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve. And this is what we can help you with.

At Lee Law Firm, we specialize in motorcycle accidents. Our team of experienced and skilled New Jersey motorcycle accident attorneys provides you with quality and step-by-step assistance, ensuring you receive compensation for the injuries and losses incurred.

What Leads to Motorcycle Accidents?
Motorcycle accidents frequently result from irresponsible driving behavior. Some prevalent instances of reckless driving that can contribute to accidents include:
Speeding
Tailgating
Non-conformance with traffic rules
Failure to yield
Inadequate checking of blind spots
Driving under the influence of drugs or intoxicated
Distracted driving (texting, adjusting the GPS or radio, eating)

How to Establish and Prove Liability in a Motorcycle Accident

In New Jersey, you must prove the liability of the negligent party before you can receive compensation. Establishing motorcycle accident liability involves addressing key legal elements:

1. Demonstrating that the at-fault driver had a duty of care towards you and they should have taken adequate precautions and adhered to the roadside and traffic laws.

2. Proving that the defendant breached their responsibility of care through reckless driving and negligent behavior.

3. Establishing a link between duty breach and injuries sustained.

4. Demonstrating non-economic and economic damages resulting after the injuries incurred.

As soon as these elements are fulfilled, the likelihood of damage recovery from the at-fault party significantly improves. This is easier said than done unless you have an experienced lawyer for case representation.

Our New Jersey motorcycle lawyer possesses the skills to navigate the state's no-fault legal system, where insurance policies sometimes permit claims against the policy of a responsible driver. We will carry out an investigation into your accident to understand its dynamics, determine the responsible party, and gather critical evidence of the defendant party’s act of reckless behavior or negligence that led to the accident. From police reports to reviewing videos and photographs available from nearby surveillance traffic cameras, collecting information from eye-witnesses, and consulting reconstructionists, we collect the evidence required to get you the compensation you are entitled to.

Our motorcycle accident attorneys have a profound understanding of state and local laws, coupled with hands-on experience in handling such cases. We help you get compensated for the following:
Prescription costs
Necessary medical equipment expenses
Pain & suffering
Reimbursement for mental anguish
Emotional distress
Lost income
Lost earning capacity
