Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents often lead to severe injuries due to the lack of physical protection compared to cars. Victims face not only physical trauma but also financial burdens from medical bills, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can help you recover full and fair compensation while you focus on healing.
At Redmond Law Firm, we specialize in representing motorcycle accident victims across New York City. Our legal team knows how to navigate insurance companies, accident investigations, and courtroom litigation to fight for the justice you deserve.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Understanding the cause of your accident is critical in establishing fault. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted or reckless drivers
- Failure to yield or unsafe lane changes
- Road hazards and poor infrastructure
- Driving under the influence
- Dooring incidents (car doors opening in front of oncoming motorcyclists)

FAQs About Motorcycle Accidents
1. How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in New York?
You typically have three years from the accident date. However, immediate legal action ensures better results.
2. What if I was partially at fault?
New York follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault—your compensation will just be reduced accordingly.
3. Will my case go to court?
Most claims are settled out of court, but if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re fully prepared to litigate.
