In New York City, motorcycle accidents often lead to injuries more serious than those suffered by victims of motor vehicle accidents. This is largely due to obvious reasons including:
- A motorcycle rider or passenger is exposed to direct contact between his person and the outside elements such as the ground, another car, or a wall.
- Motorcycles lack the stability of a four-wheel motor vehicle and therefore will invariably roll over onto one side during a serious accident.
- Motorcycles are much lighter than other motor vehicles, which means they will suffer more severe damage even with a softer impact.
- Because they are small and narrow, motorcycles may not be noticed by other drivers on the roads, resulting in situations where cars crash into motorcycles because they either fail to yield, change lanes into a motorcycle-occupied lane, or open a car door into the path of an oncoming motorcycle.
No fees unless we recover compensation. Call (718) 331-3330 for a free case review, available 24/7, or visit us at 100-09 Metropolitan Ave, Forest Hills, NY 11375.

Laws, rules, and regulations that govern motorcycle riders
The New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law has provisions applicable to motorcycle operators. In general, a motorcyclist must know the rules of the road and obey them just like a car driver. However, the NY Vehicle and Traffic Law has certain laws for motorcycle operators, including:
Helmets are required for motorcycle riders (VTL 381). This section also explains other motorcycle equipment that must be used, such as proper brakes, rear reflectors, and front and rear motorcycle lamps that must be lit during twilight hours. The entire section can be found at VTL § 381.
Motorcycle riders are not entitled to first-party personal injury protection (PIP) benefits, including No-Fault benefits. Unlike motor vehicle operators, motorcyclists will not have the auto insurance pay for their medical care.
They must use their health insurance coverage or self pay. Because of this, motorcycle accident victims can sue the liable vehicle to recover medical expenses, lost wages, and other first-party benefits. Another important distinction from motor vehicle accidents is that motorcycle accident victims do not have to prove they suffered a “serious injury” under Insurance Law section 5102(d), as is required of car accident victims. Because of this, there is no minimum injury, and motorcycle riders and passengers can bring a claim for even minor injuries.
