Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Brookly, N.Y. | Zlotolow & Associates

Our Brooklyn motorcycle accident attorneys are prepared to initiate an investigation into your accident as quickly as possible. This urgency is crucial due to New York’s statutes of limitations, which impose strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims. However, reaching the point of filing a lawsuit based on a solid case can be a lengthy process. It requires our dedicated team to:

Act swiftly to gather evidence before it deteriorates, is destroyed, or becomes unavailable
Conduct a comprehensive investigation into the details of your case and identify all parties who may hold legal responsibility for your motorcycle accident
Monitor your recovery until you achieve maximum medical improvement, allowing us to accurately assess your expenses and losses
Collaborate with consultants to compile medical reports and financial analyses that will bolster your case
Address the obstruction and delay tactics often employed by insurance companies, which aim to pressure you into giving up or missing essential deadlines

Most personal injury lawsuits arising from motorcycle accidents must be filed within three years of the incident. If the accident resulted in a wrongful death, the claim must be filed within two years. Additionally, certain claims, such as those against a local government entity, may have even stricter time limits.

Keep in mind, Zlotolow & Associates offers a free, no-obligation consultation to start our work for you. This session provides valuable legal advice regarding your accident and potential personal injury claim.

How a Brooklyn Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Advocate for You

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Brooklyn, a motorcycle accident attorney at Zlotolow & Associates can play a vital role in helping you obtain the compensation you deserve. Here’s how we can assist you:

Understanding New York Motorcycle Laws: Motorcycle accident cases often present unique challenges, including issues of driver negligence, road hazards, and insurance disputes. A Brooklyn motorcycle accident lawyer will navigate these complexities and safeguard your rights.
Investigating the Accident: Our experienced Brooklyn personal injury attorneys will conduct a comprehensive investigation, gathering evidence such as police reports and witness statements, while identifying all parties responsible for the accident.
Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim: The legal process can be daunting, but a motorcycle accident lawyer will ensure your claim is filed accurately and within the necessary deadlines.
Pursuing Compensation: At Zlotolow & Associates, we are committed to fighting for maximum compensation to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and any long-term damages resulting from the crash.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts in motorcycle accident cases. A skilled Brooklyn accident attorney will negotiate assertively on your behalf to secure a fair settlement.

The Long-Term Costs of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The initial days and weeks following serious injuries from a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming, filled with pain and emotional turmoil. It may be challenging to comprehend the long road to recovery that lies ahead or to understand the potential financial implications.
Serious injuries resulting from a motorcycle accident can lead to various long-term costs, including:

Medical Care: Motorcycle accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries or even fatalities. Beyond emergency medical treatment, a motorcyclist involved in an accident may require hospitalization and surgery. The costs of medical care in Brooklyn can easily reach thousands of dollars. In the unfortunate event of a fatal motorcycle accident, family members can seek recovery for medical expenses as well as funeral and burial costs.
Long-Term Recovery: A seriously injured motorcyclist may endure several months or longer of recovery. After primary medical treatment, the injured rider might need physical therapy, including occupational and vocational therapy. Disabling injuries can significantly alter the quality of life, and recovery may also involve counseling to address the emotional trauma from the accident.
Disability: Long-term injuries or permanent disabilities may necessitate assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, home modifications to accommodate mobility issues, and, in some cases, in-home nursing or personal care assistance. Those who suffer from totally disabling or degenerative injuries, like tetraplegia or severe traumatic brain injury, may require lifelong medical and therapeutic care. The lifetime costs of paralysis can exceed $1 million, especially for younger accident victims.
Lost Wages: The time required for recovery from a serious motorcycle injury often results in lost work hours. Even those with employer-sponsored sick leave or disability benefits may eventually exhaust these resources. For many motorcycle accident victims, the lost wages from missed workdays may surpass medical expenses. Victims who are permanently disabled are likely to encounter reduced earning potential for the remainder of their lives.

Your costs and losses following a motorcycle accident should be covered by insurance, particularly the coverage held by the party or parties responsible for your crash and injuries. Under New York personal injury law, you are also entitled to compensation for pain and suffering if your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions.

However, because motorcycle accident injuries can be prohibitively expensive, insurers may hesitate to pay. At Zlotolow & Associates, our Brooklyn motorcycle accident lawyers can manage your insurance claims from start to finish, including thoroughly documenting liability for the motorcycle accident and demanding maximum compensation. We will advocate with the insurance companies for the payments you deserve, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery.
