West New York Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Experienced Motorcycle Crash Attorneys in West New York, NJ Committed to Fighting for Injured Victims’ Rights and Future in Hudson County

Every motor vehicle accident has the risk of injury for those involved in the accident. However, the risk of injury is far greater for a rider on a motorcycle that is involved in an accident. Motorcycle riders are completely unprotected in an accident and their bodies are subjected to violent forces when they are impacted by a much larger vehicle. Unfortunately, many motorcycle accidents are caused by careless, inattentive, and negligent drivers who are distracted by cell phones or GPS. However, all too often a driver’s negligence must be paid for by an injured motorcycle rider when an accident occurs due to that negligence. At Team Law, our West New York motorcycle accident lawyers often find that it is incredibly difficult for injured motorcycle riders to obtain the compensation they need and deserve without needing to fight for that compensation. Many injured riders must fight through bias and preconceived notions about motorcycle riders, which insurers and at-fault drivers rely on to deflect liability and responsibility. But the reality is that many motorcycle accidents are instead caused by careless drivers and other negligent parties.

Avoiding Accident and Injury on a Motorcycle in West New York

Although it is certainly not possible to completely avoid the risk of accident and injury on a motorcycle — there is no way to fully mitigate the negligence and recklessness of other drivers and parties. However, there are steps that motorcycle riders can take to partially reduce the risk of a motorcycle accident or the risk of injury or the severity of injuries:

Wear a U.S. DOT-approved helmet; be sure to replace your helmet every five years or after any incident in which you hit your head on the ground while wearing it
Wear long pants and long sleeves, gloves, and boots of durable materials, such as leather
Wear bright-colored clothing or other reflective materials
Use your headlight both day and night, and be sure that your rear brake light and turn signals are functional and that you have the required reflectors on your motorcycle
Be alert for potential road hazard, such as black ice or potholes, or for inattentive drivers who may swerve out in front of you; be especially vigilant when approaching intersections, where most accidents occur
Be sure that you are not riding a motorcycle that is too powerful for your experience- and skill-level; ideally, you should take motorcycle safety courses, even as refresher courses if you are an experienced rider

About West New York, NJ

West New York is a town located in the northern end of Hudson County, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from Manhattan. West New York is located atop the New Jersey Palisades, a line of cliffs along the western bank of the Hudson River. West New York was formally incorporated in 1898, replacing Union Township. Shortly after its formation, West New York underwent rapid economic growth fueled by embroidery and textile industries. Beginning in the 1980s, the Hudson waterfront area has been redeveloped to residential and recreational uses; the construction of high-rise buildings elsewhere throughout West New York have led to the town being one of the most densely populated municipalities in the United States. West New York is also home to one of the largest shopping districts in New Jersey, running along Bergenline Avenue and hosting more than 300 stores and restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions about West New York, NJ Motorcycle Accidents

What damages can my family and I recover if we had a loved one killed in a motorcycle accident?

If you and your family have a loved one who was killed while riding a motorcycle by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to recover wrongful death damages. These damages provide compensation for your loved one’s last medical treatment, conscious pain and suffering prior to their death, and funeral and burial expenses. You and your family may also be entitled to be compensated for the loss of your loved one’s financial contributions to the family, the loss of his or her love and companionship and guidance, and the loss of his or her services to the household.

Why should I hire an attorney if I have motorcycle insurance?

Even though insurance is there to provide compensation when someone is injured or damaged following an accident, the insurance companies have an obvious interest in minimizing the amount of benefits that they pay out. Our experienced motorcycle crash attorneys in West New York, NJ can fight for you to ensure that the insurance companies provide you with the full and fair compensation that you deserve and need.
