What to know about motorcycle accident cases in Staten Island

Common crash patterns in Staten Island

Left-turning vehicles failing to see motorcyclists are the most common cause of injury crashes. St. George, Stapleton, New Dorp, and Tottenville all see this pattern at signalized intersections.

No no-fault for motorcyclists

NY no-fault law excludes motorcyclists from insurance coverage. The downside: no quick medical coverage. The upside: no serious-injury threshold — you sue for everything from day one.

Anti-rider bias on adjusters and juries

Insurers and juries carry implicit bias against motorcyclists. We document everything thoroughly and select juries carefully on voir dire.

Helmet evidence is not admissible

Under People v. Coe and related NY authority, helmet non-use is generally not admissible to reduce damages. We block that defense early.

Venue and filing

Most Staten Island motorcycle claims are filed at Richmond County Supreme Court at 26 Central Avenue. Trial-ready motion practice from day one because settlement offers are usually low until trial is set.

Staten Island questions, answered.

The driver says the crash was my fault because I ride a motorcycle — is that true?

No. Riders have the same rights as any driver. Insurers lean on bias against motorcyclists to pay less — we push back with the facts of what actually happened.

My injuries are serious. Can I still recover if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

Often yes. Helmet questions don't automatically end a claim. Talk to us before you assume anything about your case.

What does a motorcycle accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We work on contingency — no fee unless we win. The first call is free.

How long do I have to file in Staten Island?

New York sets a firm deadline starting the day you got hurt. Call us today and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.
