Motorcycle Accidents

Lawrence M. Simon - Bergen County Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

While all motor vehicle accidents can have serious consequences, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to severe and fatal injuries. Their unprotected exposure to the initial collision impact, together with the second trauma of landing, sliding across, or flying into another hard surface, can result in multiple injuries, and recovery can be a long and painful process. If you or someone in your family has been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact New Jersey motorcycle accident attorney Lawrence M. Simon in Ridgewood for a free consultation about your legal remedies.

We can represent you in cases involving accidents that occurred on the highway, in the city, or in the suburbs. We also handle motorcycle accident claims that present special circumstances, such as collisions involving commercial or corporate vehicles, or claims against public defendants, as to either the ownership or operation of the other vehicle, or in cases where road construction or maintenance detour lanes contributed to the biker's risk.

No detail is overlooked. Equipment failure, involving the bike or helmet, could be the basis of a Product Liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the equipment. The mere presence of a DOT sticker on a helmet does not necessarily mean the helmet is safe for its intended purpose. There is no substitute for a well-manufactured, full head helmet.

As in every personal injury case we accept, we pay particular attention to the investigation and proof of your damages. We work closely with your treating physicians and forensic experts to develop and document every possible detail of your physical injuries, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and the future medical treatment and assistance that you can expect given your injuries. Our careful attention to the presentation and proof of your damages, first to the defendant's insurer and if necessary to a jury, is a hallmark of our client service.

Among the injuries we typically encounter in motorcycle accidents are:

• Head and brain trauma, including closed head wounds
• Facial disfigurement
• Road rash
• Severe dental injuries
• Extensive burns or burn-like lacerations
• Multiple fractures
• Fractures or soft tissue damage to the knee, shoulder, or other joints

Our experience with the presentation of damages evidence with respect to each of these can make a significant difference in the ultimate resolution of your motorcycle accident lawsuit.
