We have a 60 year track record of litigating motorcycle accident cases and recovering millions of dollars for New York motorcyclists, just like you.

According to NYPD and NYC DOT data, more than 2,000 motorcyclists are injured and over 50 are killed each year on New York City streets. In fact, motorcyclists make up just 2% of registered vehicles in the city — but account for 14% of traffic fatalities.

The vast majority of these crashes involve other vehicles, not rider error. Intersections, congested areas, and blind spots in traffic-heavy boroughs like Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan are among the most common danger zones for riders.

⚠️ Time Is Limited. Don’t Wait to File Your Claim. ⚠️

In New York, motorcycle accident claims must be filed within a strict legal time frame. Evidence can disappear quickly, and insurance companies start building their defense immediately. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents We Handle

Many motorcycle crashes happen because of another person’s negligence. Here are some of the most common non-rider-caused motorcycle accidents:

Drivers making unsafe left turns

Drivers merging into a motorcyclist’s lane

Distracted drivers (texting, eating, etc.)

Sudden stops causing rear-end collisions

Speeding or reckless driving by others

Dooring accidents (car door opened into a rider’s path)

Failure to yield at intersections

Drunk or impaired driving

Poorly maintained roads or potholes

Debris or oil spills left by other vehicles

We investigate the crash, identify liable parties, and fight for your recovery.

I worked with the team at Pazer for the last two years, specifically Mike Jaffe. The process was painless on my end. The team kept me up to date on the process, and ensured I was able to get the proper level of care. I highly recommend them.

Injuries Commonly Sustained in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes are different from car accidents. Riders have far less protection and are exposed to direct impact with other vehicles, pavement, and fixed objects. That’s why motorcycle accidents often result in serious — and sometimes life-altering — injuries.

Lower extremity fractures (legs, ankles, feet — most frequently injured area)

Road rash (abrasions caused by sliding across pavement; can range from mild to requiring skin grafts)

Head injuries (concussions, traumatic brain injuries, or skull fractures — even with a helmet)

Spinal injuries (herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, or spinal cord damage leading to paralysis)

Arm and shoulder injuries (bracing during a fall often leads to wrist breaks or shoulder dislocations)

Pelvic fractures (impact with the ground or fuel tank can break or shatter the pelvis)

Chest trauma (broken ribs, bruised lungs, or internal bleeding in the thoracic cavity)

Facial injuries (broken jaws, noses, or teeth — especially when a full-face helmet isn’t used)

Internal organ damage (liver, spleen, or kidney injuries from blunt force trauma)

Crush injuries or amputations (limbs caught under vehicles or pinned during impact)

If you’ve experienced any of these injuries — or if you’re unsure what steps to take next — we’re here to guide you through your options.

You don’t pay unless we win your case.
We handle everything from investigating your motorcycle accident and collecting evidence to negotiating or litigating for the maximum compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents In New York & Long Island

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do after a motorcycle accident?

    Get medical attention immediately, report the crash to police, take photos of the scene if possible, and contact our motorcycle accident lawyers before speaking to any insurance companies.

  • Can I still recover compensation if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

    Yes, but it may affect how your damages are calculated. We can still help you pursue compensation.

  • How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in New York?

    Generally, three years — but cases involving government vehicles or entities may require action within 90 days.

  • What types of compensation can I get after a motorcycle crash?

    You may be eligible for medical costs, lost wages, future care, pain and suffering, and more.

  • What if the driver fled the scene or didn’t have insurance?

    You may still have options through uninsured motorist coverage or legal action. We can guide you.

  • Do motorcycle cases differ from car accident cases?

    Yes. Injuries are usually more severe, and liability can be more heavily contested. You need a lawyer who understands the nuances.

  • How much does it cost to hire your firm?

    We work on a contingency basis — no fees unless we win your case.

  • Will I have to go to court?

    Many motorcycle accident cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial so you’re fully protected.

  • Can I sue if road conditions caused my crash?

    Possibly. If poor maintenance, potholes, or road hazards contributed, you may be able to file a claim against the city or another party responsible.
