Why Are Motorcycle Accident Claims More Complicated?

Motorcycle riders often face difficulties and obstacles in recovering compensation after an accident caused by someone else’s carelessness or wrongful acts. Some of the reasons why motorcycle accident claims become more complicated than other kinds of auto accidents include:

  • Motorcycle accident victims frequently suffer catastrophic injuries, which can make settlement negotiations or lawsuits more complicated because compensation may need to include future anticipated losses.
  • More compensation is often on the line in these cases because motorcycle riders tend to sustain severe injuries. At-fault parties or insurers will likely fight to reduce their liability and settlement payment.
  • At-fault drivers and insurers often try to avoid liability in motorcycle accident cases by relying on stereotypes about motorcyclists being reckless or dangerous to try to pin the blame on them. As a result, these cases often require additional evidence to prove that the other party is to blame for the accident.

Proving Fault After a Motorcycle Accident in NYC

Proving that the other driver was responsible for causing the motorcycle accident can often become a complex task. Drivers may try to argue that a motorcycle operator was riding recklessly or speeding in the moments leading up to a crash. This makes it especially important to collect all available evidence from an accident to firmly prove the other driver’s fault.

Evidence that our NYC motorcycle crash attorneys frequently use in motorcycle accident claims includes:

  • Accident scene photos and videos, including those of vehicle damage or skid marks on the road
  • Dashcam or helmet cam footage
  • Surveillance or traffic camera footage
  • Witness statements
  • Vehicle data recorder logs, if available
  • Cell phone logs of the motorists involved in the accident
  • Police accident reports
  • Post-accident vehicle inspection reports
  • Expert accident reconstruction reports
