New York City Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Aggressive Advocacy for the Injured in New York City

Motorcycle accidents often cause more serious injuries than other crashes because riders have far less protection than people inside enclosed vehicles. Without a steel frame, airbags, or other safety features, motorcyclists are more exposed to the force of impact and may suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, road rash, or internal injuries.

These injuries can lead to long recoveries, high medical costs, and lasting physical and emotional pain. At Godosky & Gentile, we represent injured riders and families after serious motorcycle crashes and work to hold negligent parties accountable for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage.

Understanding Your Rights After a New York City Motorcycle Accident

After a motorcycle accident in New York City, you may have the right to seek compensation if another party caused the crash. That can include payment for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. You also have the right to a fair investigation, legal representation, and the opportunity to negotiate with insurance companies rather than accept a low settlement offer.

These rights matter in cases where fault is disputed or insurers try to shift blame. At Godosky & Gentile, our New York City motorcycle accident lawyers help riders protect their rights, preserve evidence, and pursue the compensation they deserve.

Compensation Available in New York Motorcycle Accident Claims

New York motorcycle accident claims may include economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages can cover medical bills, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and the cost to repair or replace your motorcycle and safety gear.

Non-economic damages may cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other ways the injuries affect your daily life. Strong records and clear evidence can help support the full value of your claim.
