Different states have different laws regarding motorcycle helmet use. Whether or not you are wearing a motorcycle helmet may at times have an effect on the amount of recovery that you are entitled to, but other times it won’t affect the amount of recovery you’re entitled to receive.
Depending on the individual facts of the case, even if you are breaking the law in your individual state by not wearing a helmet you may still be entitled to a substantial compensation depending on the individual facts of your accident.
By consulting with a skilled attorney you can hopefully maximize the amount of recovery that you are entitled to financially with the party that is at fault for the accident regardless whether or not if you are wearing a helmet.

The most relevant law that is important to note for left-turn motorcycle accidents in New York City is NYS VTL § 1141. This law states, “The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway shall yield the right of way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.

If you are injured in an accident involving a motorcycle, and you’re not at fault for the accident or not 100% at fault for the accident an attorney will help to keep the insurance carriers honest with regard to what you are entitled to when it comes to fair compensation for all of the damages you sustained in the accident.
Insurance companies have lawyers readily available to help them minimize the amount of compensation that they have to pay on legitimate claims. It’s rare that if somebody has a large accident involving perhaps millions of dollars in damages that insurance carrier writes a check. And over 25 years of representing motorcycles I have never seen them write a check without putting up a fight regardless of the facts of the case.  An attorney will work on your behalf to maximize your recovery.

When a motorcycle accident happens typically the injured rider has a lot of questions. They want to know who is going to pay for the bike? Who is going to pay for the medical bills? Who is going to pay for their loss earnings with regard to who is going to pay for the bike?
Typically, if the rider has his own collision coverage when he purchased motorcycle insurance that would be the first party that would pay for the damage to the bike. The rider might wonder why would I put the claim through my own carrier when I wasn’t at fault for the accident. Your carrier, the riders carrier will pay faster than the adverse vehicle’s policy then your carrier will get compensation from the adverse vehicles carrier, and they will divide up the claim depending on who’s fault.
