New Jersey Motorcycle Injury Lawyers
The driver of the car will often say that the motorcyclist was speeding or reckless or "came out of nowhere." In reality, the motorcycle was there in plain sight and the driver of the car was likely the one who was careless, distracted or violating traffic laws.
In addition to coping with serious or catastrophic injuries, victims of motorcycle accidents must overcome a bias that they were at fault. At Scura, Mealey, Wigfield & Heyer, LLP, our personal injury lawyers have the experience and resources to investigate the crash and establish the negligence.
With offices in Wayne, Hoboken and Elizabeth, we handle motorcycle injury and motorcycle fatality cases in Passaic, Bergen, Hudson, Union and Middlesex Counties of New Jersey. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Attorneys Who Know the Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
The same scenarios seem to play out over and over again. We obtain police reports, witness statements and evidence at the accident scene, and sometimes hire experts such as accident reconstructionists, to show how the driver of the car was at fault:
- Turning left into the path of a cycle going straight
- Lane changes or sideswipe accidents
- Pulling out into traffic without looking
- Failure to yield at a stop sign or traffic light
- Following too close
- Crossing the center line
- Texting while driving or other distracted driving
- Speeding, U-turns and other driver error
Dedicated Representation for Motorcycle Crash Victims
The operator or passenger on the bike is injured in four out of five motorcycle accidents. What causes motorcycle accidents to be so dangerous? Part of the problem is that riders are not protected in a crash, other than a helmet and leather. Part of the problem is that drivers may not even brake before impact — riders often bear the full-speed brunt of the collision.
We have obtained favorable settlements in cases involving the death of motorcyclists and those who have suffered serious injury. We are familiar with the difficult insurance issues that arise when a motorcyclist is involved in an accident and injuries are sustained.
We are committed to full compensation for the care needs, lost income, lasting disability, and pain and suffering our clients have endured. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation and learn more about how we can help.
