2. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, in 2011 more than 4,500 people were killed
in accidents involving motorcycles and approximately 89,000
more were injured. Although riding a motorcycle may be your
passion, the dangers are ominous and the lack of support in
the event of an accident can be deadly.
Since 1971, the New York motorcycle accident lawyers at the
Law Offices of Kenneth A. Wilhelm have been protecting the
rights and interests of New York motorcyclists who have been
hurt as a result of the negligent or reckless actions of another
party. We build on our years of collective experience and we
are prepared to aggressively fight to get our clients the full
compensation they deserve.

3. Motorcycles are a common mode of transportation on the
roads of New York. But as popular as they may be, they are
inherently dangerous and accidents involving motorcycles
often leave their riders suffering devastating injuries or even
death.
Some of the main reasons why motorcyclists are more
vulnerable to severe injuries than other motorists include:-
The lack of stability because they have only two wheels, as
opposed to other vehicles that are supported by four wheels.
The lack of steel frames and casings that provide support to
motorists and their passengers.

4. The smaller and lighter frame of a motorcycle makes it more
susceptible to a lighter impact causing greater damage.
Lack of safety gear, such as seat belts and airbags.
The direct exposure to pavement and the road in the event of
an accident.
Susceptibility to poorly maintained roads.

5. Although certain protective gear, such as helmets and thick
clothing, may provide some protection, injuries sustained in
motorcycle accidents are often serious and even fatal. Some
common motorcycle injuries include:-
Traumatic brain injury
Quadriplegia (tetraplegia) and paraplegia
Abrasions
Cuts
Scars
Broken bones
Head and neck trauma
Back injury
Disfigurement
Wrongful death

7. Generally speaking, New York motorcyclists are subject to
the same rules of the road as other vehicles. In addition to
these rules, motorcyclists must also observe any special
regulations of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law that
apply to motorcycle riders, such as the required use of
helmets and visible front and rear lamps (New York State
Vehicle and Traffic Law Sect. 381).
Moreover, New York has different insurance and liability
rules for motorcyclists. Motorcyclists are not covered under
the No-Fault Law and they are not entitled to medical benefits
or loss of wages, from their own insurance companies.

8. However, since a motorcyclist is not subject to the “serious
injury” threshold of the No-Fault Law, they can bring a claim
against the negligent driver for even minor injuries that would
not otherwise fall under the law’s threshold.
