Proving Negligence and Liability for Your Motorcycle Accident
To collect compensation for injuries caused by another party, a plaintiff must be able to establish that the defendant’s negligence caused your injury, thereby making the defendant liable for your damages.
Our lawyers will use the results of our investigation to establish the following key elements of a sound personal injury case:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care to behave in a way that kept you from harm
- The at-fault party breached this duty of care
- The at-fault party’s failure to fulfill this duty of care caused your motorcycle accident
- You sustained physical and/or emotional injury and other damages as a result of the accident

Every case is different, but you might see some of the following types of damages in what we present to the insurers/jury in your case:
- Doctors’ and surgeons’ fees
- Ambulance costs
- Prescription medicines
- Physical therapy/rehabilitation
- Wheelchairs, crutches, ramps, and other assistive mobility devices
- Replacement services
- Lost wages and benefits
- Diminished future potential earnings
- Pain and suffering

- Loss of consortium (i.e., benefits of marriage)
Your Baldwin motorcycle accident lawyer will communicate a demand containing these damage amounts and present it to the defendant’s insurers. We will negotiate aggressively for the maximum settlement, and if the insurer does not agree, we are ready to file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf so we can pursue the matter in a civil court of law.
If your loved one died as the result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident, we are deeply sorry for your loss. You may feel that pursuing compensation for this tragedy is not a pressing priority right now, but please know that the economic consequences of this death may present themselves soon, and you are entitled to seek a wrongful death action to bear some of this burden.

New York’s Statute of Limitations Factors into Your Legal Action
There is a statute of limitations under New York state laws that restricts how long you have to take legal action. Consider hiring a personal injury attorney now, rather than later, to avoid missing this critical deadline.
Acting soon will also give your lawyer more time to build your case with a wider sample of evidence, witnesses, etc.
Our Team Will Fight for the Compensation You Deserve
Whoever caused your accident is the party who should be burdened with paying for your injuries and related damages. We will fight to make sure that insurers and/or juries come to this same understanding and compensate you fairly for your losses.
