There are over four million motorcycles registered in the United States. Motorcycle fatalities represent approximately five percent of all highway fatalities each year, yet motorcycles represent just two percent of all registered vehicles in the United States.

One of the main reasons motorcyclists are killed in crashes is because the motorcycle itself provides virtually no protection in a crash. Insurance companies routinely vigorously defend motorcycle accident cases as there is a clear bias against individuals who ride motorcycles. Many defense attorneys’ attempts to shift the burden claiming the motorcyclist was riding at an “unsafe speed” or was “inattentive” or lost “control at the intersection” or that the motorcyclist, even with the right of way, should have yielded.

The Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Firm, LLP seeks to represent the motorcyclist and passenger vigorously, filing the necessary documents with the appropriate insurance companies, ensuring timely payment of medical bills, lost wages and ultimately obtaining a recovery for the pain and suffering as a result of the accident.
