Recovering compensation for your damages after a motorcycle accident in New York is often complex.Accidents involving motorcycles typically have a set of circumstances that distinguish “bike accidents” from car and truck accidents. One such significant difference is that New York law prohibits motorcycle drivers and riders from collecting benefits based on a no-fault insurance policy. This exception from No-Fault coverage for motorcyclists and their passengers is discussed on the website of the New York Department of Financial Services. Without the benefit of No-Fault coverage, motorcycle operators and passengers who suffer injuries in an accident in New Hyde Park or the surrounding area must resort to other forms of legal action against the at-fault party who caused their accident and injuries.
