Riders are not just another car claim

The insurer already has a team. You should too.

After a motorcycle crash, insurance companies move fast and lean on tired stereotypes about riders to pay you less. You deserve someone who takes a rider's injuries seriously and knows how New York law actually works for motorcyclists.

O'Connor Law is a credentialed member of the National Academy of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers, a network built on one idea: riders deserve their own advocate.

What to do after a New York motorcycle crash

  1. Get medical attention and keep every record, even if you feel okay at first.
  2. Photograph the scene, both vehicles, and your gear before anything moves.
  3. Collect the other driver's information and any witness names and numbers.
  4. Do not give a recorded statement to the other insurer before you talk to a lawyer.
  5. Call for a free review so the evidence and the clock work for you, not against you.

New York rider law, plainly

Four things every New York rider should know

Helmets are required

New York is a universal helmet state. Every rider and passenger must wear a DOT helmet under VTL 381.

No-fault skips motorcycles

New York no-fault (PIP) does not cover motorcycles, so injured riders can pursue pain and suffering directly.

Pure comparative fault

Under CPLR 1411 your recovery is reduced by your share of fault but never fully barred. A split-fault crash still has value.

Three years to file

New York generally gives you three years from the crash to bring an injury claim (CPLR 214). Evidence fades long before that.
