Why Legal Help Matters After a Motorcycle Crash
Adjusters may assume the rider was speeding or reckless and press for quick statements. We gather police reports, contact witnesses, and secure helmet and gear documentation to counter bias with evidence. Our lawyers calculate full damages, including medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care. Having a New Jersey attorney who understands rider dynamics helps reduce stress while we build your case.
Common Injuries and Crash Scenarios
Left-turn impacts at intersections, unsafe merges, lane-change conflicts, and
surface defects near construction zones are frequent issues. Riders often suffer fractures, road rash with infection risk, shoulder and knee injuries, and concussions or other brain trauma. We also handle hit-and-runs and multi-vehicle collisions during heavy Turnpike traffic. If a pedestrian or cyclist was involved, we coordinate across case types to protect your claim.
Our Approach To Motorcycle Accident Cases
From the first call, The Granda Law Firm treats your case with care. We collect photos and scene measurements, request records from providers such as Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and manage insurer communications. If a fair resolution is available, we negotiate firmly and explain each offer. If litigation is needed, we file in the proper New Jersey court and keep you informed at every stage. You owe no attorney fee unless we win.
New Jersey Motorcycle Laws And Deadlines
Most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash date. Comparative negligence rules can reduce compensation by your share of fault and bar recovery over 50 percent fault. Health insurance and certain policy endorsements may apply to medical care for riders. We review policy language, explain options, and help prevent billing surprises.
Motorcycle Accident Questions We Hear Often
Do riders face bias in New Jersey claims?
Yes, assumptions about speed and recklessness appear often. We counter with visibility analysis, right-of-way evidence, and neutral witness statements. Camera footage and scene measurements help tell the full story. Clear proof limits room for bias.
What if a car turned left in front of me?
Left-turn crashes are common and can be severe. We examine timing, sight lines, turn signals, and speed, then secure statements and any video. Medical records show the full impact on your life. We pursue the at-fault driver's liability coverage and any UM/UIM as needed.
Can I recover if I was not wearing a helmet?
New Jersey requires helmets for most riders, and not wearing one can affect damages, especially for head injuries. You may still recover if another driver was at fault, though insurers may raise comparative negligence. We develop evidence to minimize unfair blame. Each case depends on its specific facts.
How are motorcycle claims different from car cases?
Rider exposure, stopping distances, and lane position change how crashes happen and how injuries present. We use expert input to explain these dynamics and to value pain and suffering. Medical timelines matter for settlement timing. Our focus is on accurate documentation and clear presentation.
How long do motorcycle cases take?
Straightforward claims can resolve within months after treatment. Disputed liability or severe injuries extend timelines due to discovery and expert reviews. We keep your case moving with targeted requests and timely filings. You will receive regular updates on progress.
