We Hold Negligent Drivers Accountable
According to New York Consolidated Laws (§ 1146), all licensed New York drivers are expected to exercise due care to avoid collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians. If the other driver did not take reasonable measures to avoid the accident and injured you, it is your legal right to seek compensation for damages.
Proving liability in a motorcycle accident case involves establishing, with supporting facts, the following:
- The at-fault driver had a legal obligation to avoid the accident.
- The at-fault driver did not avoid the accident for some reason, such as speeding, running a red light, or texting while driving.
- The accident caused you to suffer bodily injury.
- These injuries led to damages in the form of medical treatment, lost salary, mental anguish, and other losses.

- Accident and police reports
- Explanation of your injuries from your medical provider
- Accident reconstruction when necessary

A motorcycle accident lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will work to get compensation for these and other expenses.

- Medical treatment including treatment to date and anticipated future treatment
- Lost wages
- Diminished income potential due to injuries
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
