Tragically, serious motorcycle accidents are more likely to result in severe injury or death than any other type of serious vehicle accident. This is because motorcycles afford significantly less protection than any other type of vehicle. The fact that many car and truck drivers are not properly vigilant when it comes to sharing the road with motorcyclists only compounds the likelihood of injury in the case of a motorcycle accident.

At Proner & Proner, our motorcycle lawyers serve all of New York and the rest of the United States with legal representation of the highest standard. We expertly handle cases involving virtually every type of injury that could be sustained in a motorcycle accident, asserting our clients' rights with passion and vigor.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The most common types of motorcycle accident injuries include:

Head Injury

Common head injuries include injuries to the face, skull fractures, and closed head injuries. A severe brain injury can change a victim's life forever and often results in permanent mental and motor skills limitations.

Broken Bones and Internal Injury

Our motorcycle lawyers in New York handle cases involving groin injuries, broken legs, broken ankles, broken feet, broken arms, and spinal cord injuries. Broken bones can take months to heal and, in the most serious cases, can result in permanent disability. In some cases, organ damage and other internal injuries may go undiagnosed until the conditions worsen.

Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injury

Injuries to the spine can leave the victim completely paralyzed, creating overwhelming financial, emotional, and physical hardships. Many spinal cord injury victims experience, at the very least, severe pain and compromised range of movement due to damage to the vertebrae and connecting tissues.

Road Rash, Burns, and Lacerations

Protective clothing and boots can reduce injuries, but many riders still suffer severe injuries from sliding on pavement after being thrown from the bike at impact or when laying down the bike when trying to avoid a collision. Lacerations are severe cuts, often leading to scarring, nerve damage and dangerous infection. "Road rash" is extremely painful damage to surface layers of skin caused by friction with pavement and aggravated by gravel and debris embedded in underlying tissues. The heat generated by friction or contact with engine parts can cause significant burns to the victim.

Compensation for Motorcycle Injuries

The motorcycle lawyers of the New York law firm of Proner & Proner aggressively pursue compensation on behalf of their injured clients. We have been consistently successful in obtaining damages for:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical care, including surgery, physical therapy, skin grafts, and personal care
• Loss of wages
• Reduced quality of life
• Pain and suffering

In cases involving wrongful death, we help families obtain additional damages for funeral expenses, lost future wages, loss of consortium, and other future losses and expenses that can be reasonably projected.
