New Jersey Motorcycle Accident Attorney

A lawyer who is also a motorcycle enthusiast can be a very effective advocate for an injured motorcycle rider. Several of the partners at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., have been motorcycle enthusiasts for many years. Whether on the New Jersey Turnpike or riding in Sturgis, South Dakota, Sam Davis knows and understands motorcycling. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact an experienced attorney who regularly enjoys his Harley Davidson touring bike. Call our New Jersey or New York offices for a free initial consultation.

Each motorcycle accident presents a unique set of challenges. The case must be appropriately handled right from the beginning. Often the police report unfairly attributes a portion of the blame to the motorcyclist. Injured motorcycle riders are discriminated against because they do not have the benefit of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. Furthermore, if not properly educated by the trial attorney, a jury may conclude that a cyclist assumed the risk when he or she chose to ride a motorcycle.

Unfortunately, injuries from a motorcycle accident are particularly serious

The injuries caused by motorcycle accidents can be severe. Even with protective gear, a motorcyclist is easily injured. Cars and trucks frequently do not look out for motorcycles. A rider can be forced to lay the bike down to avoid colliding with a large vehicle that has carelessly changed lanes without signaling or made a right turn without stopping. Riders suffer a wide range of catastrophic injuries, including fractures, brain injury, spinal cord damage, and serious skin contusions. A motorcycle accident can easily cause a fatality because of the vulnerability of the rider.
