If you were hurt in a motorcycle crash, the days afterward can feel like a blur of hospital visits, insurance calls, and questions about who will pay for your losses. You should not have to sort through all of it alone.
Our New Brunswick, NJ motorcycle accident lawyer has spent more than two decades holding negligent drivers accountable and recovering money for injured riders. We handle the legal work so you can put your energy into healing. Call our office to schedule a free consultation and find out where your case stands.
A motorcycle accident attorney represents riders who were injured because another driver, a government body, or a company failed to act with reasonable care. We investigate how the crash happened, deal with the insurance companies, and pursue payment for medical care, lost income, and other losses.
New Jersey roads are hard on riders. In one year tracked by state officials, about 2,200 motorcyclists were involved in crashes across New Jersey and 69 riders were killed, according to state safety data. Middlesex County carries heavy traffic on routes that run straight through New Brunswick, which puts local riders at real risk every time they head out.
Motorcycle crashes rarely look alike. Some come down to a single careless turn, while others trace back to a defective part or a hazard in the road. We handle the full range of these cases for New Brunswick riders.
Our co-founder, Mark W. Davis, has devoted his practice to seriously injured people and their families for more than 20 years. He earned his law degree from Pepperdine University and is admitted in New Jersey along with several other states and federal courts. He serves on the Board of Governors of the New Jersey Association for Justice, belongs to the American Association for Justice, and has been named to the National Trial Lawyers Top 100. Mark builds each case around the specific needs and goals of the client in front of him, because no two injuries affect a person’s life in exactly the same way.
Over the years, we have helped clients recover millions of dollars in personal injury and wrongful death matters. A sample of our verdicts and settlements includes:
Past results never guarantee a future outcome, and every case turns on its own facts. We also handle these matters on a free-consultation basis, so there is no cost to learn whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
Most motorcycle claims come down to two questions: who was at fault, and what has the crash cost you. The failures behind most New Brunswick car accident cases, a driver who does not yield, glances at a phone, or misjudges a rider’s speed, are usually what put a motorcyclist on the ground. New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. An injured rider can still recover money even when partly at fault, as long as the rider is not more at fault than the other parties, though any award is reduced by the rider’s share of the blame.
Compensation in these cases can include:
The types of damages available depend on the facts of the crash. Motorcyclists are nearly 28 times more likely to die in a wreck than people in passenger cars, according to federal crash data, which is part of why rider injuries are so often severe and costly.
The most serious wrecks can leave a rider with a brain injury or another permanent condition, and the cost of that lifelong care belongs in the claim. When a rider does not survive, close family members may bring a wrongful death claim for their own losses.
A strong claim depends on far more than the police report. Riders face bias from some drivers and insurance adjusters who assume the motorcyclist must have been speeding or reckless, so building solid evidence matters from the very first day.
Key parts of these cases include:
Crashes with a large truck tend to cause the worst injuries, and they raise the same questions we work through in a New Brunswick truck accident case. Not every crash is caused by another driver, though. A single-bike wreck can still support a claim when a part failure or a dangerous road is to blame.
No two cases move at the same pace, but most follow a similar path from crash to resolution. In New Jersey, the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury, a limit confirmed by the New Jersey Courts. Missing that window usually ends the claim for good.
A typical case moves through these stages:
Serious cases can take longer, because full medical documentation often shapes the true value of the claim.
Bringing the right paperwork helps us evaluate your case faster. If you have them, gather these items before we meet:
You do not need every document to get started. At the consultation, we will review what happened, answer your questions, and explain your options with no pressure to sign anything that day.
New Brunswick sits at a busy crossroads of state highways and local streets, and that mix raises the risk for riders. Route 18 carries fast, heavy traffic along the Raritan River and past Rutgers, where merging and sudden stops are common. Route 1 and Route 27 bring steady commuter volume through the area, and the downtown streets near the train station and the hospitals stay congested for much of the day. Intersections where these roads meet see constant turning movements, which are among the most dangerous situations a motorcyclist can face. The New Jersey State Police publish statewide data on fatal crashes each year, and heavy corridors like these account for many of the most serious wrecks.
If a motorcycle crash has left you injured, the sooner you have answers, the stronger your position. Our New Brunswick motorcycle accident attorneys offer a free consultation to review your case, explain your rights, and lay out the next steps. There is no fee to talk with us. Contact us to schedule your consultation, and we will respond promptly to get you moving forward.
