New York Motorcycle Accidents

The Other Driver Did Not See the Motorcycle

We hear that all the time when investigating motorcycle accidents — the car or truck driver did not see the motorcycle. I know about that problem first hand. I used to ride a motorcycle, and I know that motorcycles simply don't register with other drivers on the road. I am Jonathan D. Katz, a personal injury attorney in New Paltz, New York.

Motorcycle accident injuries are nearly always serious — including wrongful death. The biker has little protection from an accident impact. As a Motorcycle crash lawyer in New Pultz, New York and as a former biker, I am well aware of the joys and the dangers of motorcycle riding.

  • My law firm will start an investigation as soon as you request my help. The best time to recover and preserve evidence is right after the accident. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by the other driver's failure to yield the right of way — turning in front of a motorcycle, not giving the biker space on the road. Motorcyclists have the right to be there on any street including Route 9, Route 9W, Route 32 and Route 208.
  • I will immediately notify the insurance company of your motorcycle accident and the extent of your injuries. As your attorney, I will continue to keep the insurance company informed. I will also resist pressure to settle your case before we know the full extent of your injuries.
  • In the case of a fatal motorcycle accident, I will help the family deal with all the legal details of a wrongful death claim.

Motorcycle accident injuries are nearly always extremely serious. Some injuries may not be completely obvious right away. I want you to have the compensation you need to recover as much as possible from your injuries. Contact my Poughkeepsie accident law offices me for a free consultation. There are no attorney's fees unless I recover compensation for you. I represent clients in Ulster County, the Hudson Valley and throughout New York state.
