Motorcycle Accident Injury Claims in New Jersey

Motorcycle crashes result from numerous causes. When another person’s or party’s negligence was the cause of your crash, you’re legally entitled to seek financial compensation for your injuries.

Examples of the types of negligence that can lead to motorcycle accident injury claims include:

  • Speeding, tailgating, distracted driving, drunk driving, and other negligent conduct behind the wheel on the part of other drivers.
  • Defective motorcycle parts that cause you to lose control of the motorcycle and, as a result, suffer an accident, which can establish liability on the part of the manufacturer.
  • Unsafe road or property conditions that constitute negligence on the part of the person, company, or government entity responsible for maintaining the area in a safe condition.

Proving negligence against any of these possible defendants requires you to establish certain elements. Our motorcycle injury attorneys in Clifton, NJ, can assist you through meticulous accident investigation and thorough case preparation. We’re ready to gather the evidence needed to establish negligence in your injury claim.

What to Do Right Now to Secure Your Future

When the unthinkable happens and you're lying on the asphalt after a motorcycle crash, the actions you take in the next few minutes can determine whether you receive maximum compensation or struggle financially for years to come. Our champions of justice have seen too many riders lose their cases before they even begin because they didn't know how to protect their rights.

  • Get to Safety Immediately:Even if you're hurt, move out of traffic if you can. More riders are injured by secondary accidents than most people realize. Your life is worth more than proving a point about where you landed.
  • Call 911 Without Hesitation:Some riders think they're "fine" and try to handle things themselves. Don't make this mistake. You need emergency responders to document everything properly, and you need medical attention even if you feel okay. Adrenaline masks serious injuries that show up hours later.
  • Document Everything While You Can:If you're physically able, take photos of the scene, both vehicles, your injuries, and road conditions. Get contact information from witnesses before they leave. These people saw what really happened and can save your case.
  • Say Nothing to the Other Driver's Insurance Company:They'll call fast, often while you're still in the hospital, trying to get you to say something that destroys your claim. Tell them to contact your attorney. Period.
  • Call Us Immediately at 973-381-1706:We provide immediate response even in the middle of the night because evidence disappears fast. The sooner we start fighting for you, the stronger your case becomes.
  • You just focus on getting better, we'll take care of the rest.

The Deadly Mistakes That Cause Motorcycle Crashes

Drivers make the same deadly mistakes over and over, and motorcyclists pay the price with their lives and limbs. After representing riders for more than 25 years, we've seen how driver negligence destroys families throughout New Jersey. Understanding these patterns helps us build stronger cases against the drivers who hurt you.

  • Distracted Driving is an epidemic.Drivers texting, eating, or fumbling with their phones while operating two-ton weapons. When they look up from their screens, it's too late to avoid the motorcycle they never saw coming. We've recovered millions for riders hit by distracted drivers who thought their text message was more important than your life.
  • "I never saw the motorcycle."This phrase makes our blood boil because it's almost always a lie. Drivers fail to yield the right of way at intersections, make left turns directly into oncoming riders, and change lanes without checking their mirrors. They saw you; they just didn't care enough to wait or look properly.
  • Drunk and impaired drivers turn our roads into death traps, especially during evening hours and weekends. These cases often result in substantial compensation because the negligence is so clear and the injuries so devastating.

When driver negligence causes your crash, we make them pay for every consequence of their careless choices.

No Matter How You Were Hit, We're Here to Fight

Every motorcycle accident is unique, but the insurance companies use the same tactics to minimize what they pay regardless of how your crash happened. Our champions of justice have developed specific strategies for each type of collision to ensure you receive maximum compensation no matter what caused your accident.

  • Rear-end collisions usually result from drivers following too closely or not paying attention to traffic ahead. These crashes often cause serious back and neck injuries when riders are thrown from their bikes. We prove the other driver's negligence through traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction analysis.
  • Left-turn accidentsare among the most common and deadly crashes we handle. Drivers turning left at intersections claim they "never saw" the oncoming motorcycle, but we use expert testimony to show how proper attention would have prevented the collision entirely.
  • Head-on collisionsoften result in wrongful death or permanent disability. These cases demand aggressive advocacy because the stakes are so high and the injuries so devastating.
  • Lane-splitting incidentsrequire specialized knowledge of New Jersey traffic laws and motorcycle rights. Even when lane-splitting contributes to an accident, other drivers often bear primary responsibility for the collision.
  • Highway accidentsinvolving motorcycles and commercial trucks create complex cases with multiple potentially liable parties. We investigate trucking company safety records, driver qualifications, and federal regulation compliance to hold all responsible parties accountable.

Our trial attorneys have the courtroom experience to take any case to trial when insurance companies refuse fair settlement offers. We fight for maximum compensation regardless of how your accident happened.

The Devastating Toll of Motorcycle Accidents

The injuries you suffer in a motorcycle crash aren't just medical conditions - they're life-altering tragedies that affect every aspect of your existence and your family's future. After more than 25 years of representing injured riders, we understand that maximum compensation isn't just about money; it's about restoring your ability to live with dignity after someone else's negligence destroyed your life.

  • Traumatic brain injurieschange everything about who you are. These injuries affect your ability to think, remember, and function independently. Families watch their loved ones struggle with personality changes, cognitive problems, and the need for lifetime care. We work with neurological experts to document the full extent of these devastating injuries.
  • Spinal cord injuriesoften result in permanent paralysis, transforming independent riders into people who need assistance with basic daily activities. These cases require substantial compensation for lifetime medical care, home modifications, and the emotional devastation of permanent disability.
  • Road rash and severe abrasionsmay sound minor to people who've never experienced them, but these injuries often require multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and leave permanent scarring that affects your confidence and career prospects.
  • Fatal injuries devastate familieswho lose their loved ones to preventable accidents. These wrongful death cases provide crucial financial support for surviving family members, but no amount of money can replace the person you've lost to someone else's careless driving.

The physical pain is just the beginning. These injuries destroy careers, end hobbies you loved, and strain relationships with family members who watch you struggle every day. We fight for compensation that addresses not just your medical bills, but every way this accident has damaged your life.

Fighting for Every Dollar You Deserve

Insurance companies will try to convince you that your devastating injuries are worth far less than they actually cost you and your family. Our champions of justice have recovered over $500 million for clients because we refuse to accept lowball settlement offers that leave families struggling financially while insurance companies protect their profits.

  • Medical expensesin motorcycle accident cases often reach hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the severity of injuries involved. We fight for compensation that covers your emergency treatment, multiple surgeries, extended hospitalization, rehabilitation services, and all future medical needs related to your injuries. Insurance companies try to minimize these costs, but we document every expense to ensure full recovery.
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacitybecome critical when your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or career. We work with vocational experts to calculate not just the income you've already lost, but the money you'll never earn due to permanent disabilities caused by the accident.
  • Pain and suffering damagescompensate you for the physical agony and emotional trauma that motorcycle accident victims endure. These damages account for the daily pain, the loss of enjoyment in activities you once loved, and the psychological impact of surviving a traumatic collision.

Our aggressive negotiation tactics and willingness to take cases to trial often result in settlements that exceed insurance companies' initial offers by hundreds of thousands of dollars. We advance all costs associated with building your case and only collect fees when we successfully recover compensation for your injuries.

How We Use State Laws to Fight for You

New Jersey's legal framework provides powerful tools for motorcycle accident victims, but knowing how to use these laws effectively requires specialized expertise that insurance companies hope you don't have. Our motorcycle injury lawyers leverage state law to maximize your compensation and hold negligent drivers accountable.

  • New Jersey's comparative negligence ruleallows you to recover damages even if you contributed to the accident, as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Insurance companies will try to blame you for the crash to reduce their payout, but we gather evidence to minimize your assigned fault and maximize your potential recovery.
  • Motorcycle-specific insurance requirementscreate multiple sources of potential compensation for your injuries. We identify all available insurance coverage, including the at-fault driver's liability insurance, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and any umbrella policies that might apply to your case.
  • Two-year statute of limitationsfor filing personal injury lawsuits means you must act quickly to protect your rights. We handle all filing deadlines and ensure your case is properly preserved within required timeframes while you focus on your physical recovery.

Our understanding of New Jersey motorcycle laws, combined with our proven track record of courtroom success, gives us significant advantages in settlement negotiations and trial proceedings. When insurance companies know they're facing attorneys who understand every aspect of state law and aren't afraid to go to court, they're much more likely to offer fair compensation for your devastating injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accident Injury Claims

  • After a motorcycle accident, your first action should always be to get to safety. Being knocked from your motorcycle can leave you at risk of subsequent collisions that could result in even more extensive injuries. Avoid aggravating your injuries as much as possible, but get out of the path of traffic right away.

    Call 911, because a significant motorcycle accident is an emergency situation. With the assistance of first responders, you can document the crash through a police report and secure the help of emergency medical personnel.

    While you wait for assistance, take any actions you can to document the accident. Photograph or take videos of the scene of the crash, damage to your motorcycle and any vehicles, any conditions that contributed to the crash, and your visible injuries. Gather the names and contact information of witnesses and ask them to provide their statements. Note down the exact location of the accident and everything you remember about the collision and the events leading up to it.

    Once first responders arrive, provide the necessary information for the police to write a report. Make sure you get a copy of the name and insurance information of the driver or any other potentially liable parties. Allow emergency medical personnel to examine you and, if needed, go straight to the hospital. Otherwise, once you leave the accident scene, seek medical care promptly.

    Although the last thing you need right now is the stress of a legal issue, you have to protect your rights so you can pursue a claim for compensation in the future, if necessary. If possible, consult motorcycle accident lawyers in New Jersey early on, before you even notify your insurance company of the collision, so you understand your rights and obligations and the risks involved in communicating with insurers. Let Corradino & Papa, LLC review your case at no cost so we can provide advice to help you move forward.
