How to file a lawsuit following a motorbike accident?To file a lawsuit following a motorbike accident in New York, begin by getting medical assistance and documenting your injuries. Next, make a police report and obtain proof from all individuals involved, such as photos, witness statements, and insurance information. Then, find a personal injury lawyer who has handled motorcycle accident cases before. Your attorney will examine your case, identify liability, and explain your legal choices. New York has a comparative negligence law, which means you can still be compensated even if you were somewhat at fault. However, your losses may be reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility. Your lawyer will submit a claim against the at-fault party's insurance company, and if necessary, a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. Medical bills, missed pay, pain and suffering, and motorbike damage may all be included in your claim. It is critical to act quickly—New York's personal injury statute of limitations is normally three years from the date of the accident, with some exceptions.Do motorbikes in Ronkonkoma, New York, have no-fault coverage?Motorcycle riders and passengers in Ronkonkoma, New York are not covered under the state's No-Fault insurance system, often known as Personal Injury Protection. The New York Insurance Law (Article 51, Section 5102(f)) removes motorbikes from the definition of "motor vehicles," preventing injured riders from receiving no-fault benefits including medical expenses and lost income. Motorcycle insurance packages sometimes state "No-Fault coverage," although this only applies to pedestrians, not riders or passengers. As a result, if you are hurt while riding, you will not be entitled to the average $50,000 in medical benefits or $2,000 per month in lost income that automobile drivers and passengers are entitled to. The benefit is that motorcyclists are not have to meet New York's rigorous "serious injury" threshold in order to suit. You can make a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver for minor injuries without needing to prove "serious" under Section 5102(d). Visit us online: [email protected] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxv1xxMftY4Our Address: Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys60 Trade Zone Ct #101Ronkonkoma, NY 11779(631) 345-7517https://www.google.com/maps/place/?cid=14997532982641701968https://sites.google.com/view/motorcycle-accident-ronkonkoma/Find us around the web: Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SullivanBrillRonkonkomaNYFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/SBRonkonkomaNYTiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@sbronkonkomaSubscribe to our YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdpDTrwpg46w_8LWqKtfU0CraoAvDWHodFind us on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/sullivan-brill-ronkonkoma/motorcycle-accident-lawyer-ronkonkomaListen to our Buzzsprout Podcasts: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2518288/episodes/17592621
