Many people are great lovers of motorcycling, and they manage to ride their motorcycles safely for years and years. Unfortunately, however, motorcycling is a sport which, by its very nature can be dangerous. Motorcycle accidents often result in extremely serious, and sometimes catastrophic injuries. But those injuries can be caused, and sometimes compounded, by defects in the manufacture or design of the motorcycle itself.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

As a motorcyclist, you are at a greater risk of sustaining an injury than the car drivers around you. Anyone who makes an improper lane change or fails to notice you at an intersection can cause you serious harm. Examples of injuries you could endure include things like:

• Broken collarbones
• Broken arms or legs
• Road rash
• Scarring
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Amputations

Injuries like these tend to require long recovery periods, and aspects such as surgeries, therapy, cosmetic procedures, and other treatments can carry significant costs. You shouldn’t be forced to pay for damage someone else caused. Let the team at the Law Offices of G. Martin Meyers, P.C. help you hold the at-fault party accountable and fight for the fair compensation you deserve.

Pursue Fair Compensation

Insurance Requirements in New Jersey

In New Jersey, all drivers must have proof of insurance in order to operate a motor vehicle. The law recognizes three different kinds of mandatory auto insurance:

• Bodily injury liability insurance. Liability insurance compensates others for damages you caused if you were found responsible for the accident. It does not, however, cover their medical expenses.
• Personal injury protection (PIP). Also called “no-fault coverage,” PIP covers the medical expenses of you and any other members listed in your policy, regardless of whether you were at fault for your accident.
• Uninsured motorist coverage. This type of insurance protects you if you are in an accident with someone who doesn’t have proper insurance coverage.

Attorney G. Martin Meyers has an outstanding record of success in the recovery of damages on behalf of the victims of motorcycle accidents, even in cases where there was no other vehicle involved. For example, he obtained a jury verdict in the amount of $9.9 million, one of the highest verdicts ever awarded against a motorcycle manufacturer, in the Ocean County New Jersey Superior Court in Molinaro v. Harley-Davidson, Inc., Docket No. L-2190-93, in February of 1997. The case, arising from an accident involving only the plaintiff’s Harley-Davidson motorcycle, was later settled on a confidential basis.
