New Jersey Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle riders face a unique set of risks every time they get on the road. With minimal protection and a high likelihood of being overlooked by other drivers, even a minor collision can lead to catastrophic injuries. At Greenberg Gross LLP, our New Jersey motorcycle accident lawyers are committed to helping injured motorcycle riders recover compensation for their losses and rebuild their lives after serious crashes.
Whether you’ve suffered injuries in a motorcycle crash or lost a loved one in a fatal accident, our legal team is here to provide compassionate, experienced legal support. We stand up to insurance companies, hold negligent drivers accountable, and pursue fair compensation for motorcycle accident victims across New Jersey.
Understanding Motorcycle Accident Claims in New Jersey
Motorcycle accident claims differ from standard car accident cases. Injuries are often more severe, and insurance adjusters may attempt to unfairly blame the rider. Our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys understand the challenges injury victims face and fight to ensure they’re treated fairly.
Motorcycle accidents can involve:
- Head injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Severe road rash and disfigurement
- Internal injuries
- Significant injuries requiring future medical bills and extended recovery
If you’ve suffered injuries due to someone else’s negligence—such as a driver failing to check blind spots, ignoring traffic laws, or turning left into your path—you may have grounds for a motorcycle accident injury claim.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
- Distracted Driving: Drivers texting, eating, or adjusting navigation systems often miss motorcycles.
- Blind Spots: Motorcycles are harder to see, especially in rear-view mirrors or when changing lanes.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Sudden shifts without signaling endanger nearby motorcycle riders.
- Speeding and Aggressive Driving: Other drivers who ignore speed limits put motorcyclists at risk.
- Improper Left Turns: A leading cause of collisions between cars and motorcycles.
Our motorcycle accident lawyers analyze police reports, witness statements, accident scene photos, and medical records to build a strong claim on your behalf.
Types of Motorcycle Accident Cases We Handle
- Collisions with cars, trucks, or other vehicles
- Single-rider crashes due to road defects or hazards
- Motorcycle collisions caused by drunk or reckless drivers
- Crashes involving protective gear failure or defective equipment
- Motorcycle accident injuries caused by road construction or poor maintenance
Each motorcycle accident case is unique. Our attorneys tailor your legal strategy to your situation, whether it involves negotiating with an insurance company or taking your case to court.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Motorcycle accident victims are often entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and future medical costs
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage (motorcycle repairs or replacement)
- Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence
Our goal is to help you obtain the financial resources needed for recovery and to secure justice for every impact on the victim’s life. Not all injuries heal completely, and our lawyers factor long-term medical expenses and catastrophic injuries into every claim.
