What type of insurance coverage Should I have on my motorcycle?
The single most important thing that you can do to protect yourself in the event that you are injured due to the negligence of another driver is to purchase the most Supplementary Underinsured Motorist (SUM) coverage that you can afford. At a minimum, you should purchase at least $100,000 of SUM coverage, but ideally, you should have $250,000 or more of SUM coverage. Thus, in the event that you are injured by a driver who has the minimum coverage required in NY, $25,000, you can receive additional compensation from your own insurance carrier up to the maximum amount of your SUM coverage, less whatever sum of money you have received from the offending driver’s liability insurance carrier.
How are my medical bills paid when I am injured riding a motorcycle?
The no-fault law in New York does not protect motorcyclists, as they are not entitled to no-fault benefits. Nor is the driver of the other vehicle responsible for payment of your medical bills. If you have private insurance, your medical bills are the responsibility of your private health insurance carrier. If you do not have private insurance, then your bills may be submitted to Medicaid or Medicare, if you are eligible. Otherwise, they are your responsibility.
What Should I Do Immediately Following an Auto or Motorcycle Accident?
IF YOUR WERE INJURED-SEEK MEDICAL HELP ASAP. Document everything you can. Use your smartphone, or any other devices you may have, to record or take pictures of the scene. You need to start building up evidence of your side of the events in question. Assume that some sort of legal proceedings will come of the accident. It’s in your best interests, whether you were hurt or not, to have as much “material” to work with as possible. If you were hurt in any way by the accident, the next step to take would be retaining an attorney. At this point you would want to provide your attorney with any documentation you may have from the accident.
Should I Just Take the Insurance Company’s Offer after an Accident?
That’s a question that needs to be discussed with an attorney. Your average person simply isn’t going to have the perspective on the events at hand that someone who investigates accidents for a living would. Knowledge of the legal framework that surrounds accidents allows a well-informed attorney the ability to very quickly wrap their heads around the basics of most cases. In all likelihood, they’re going to be able to provide information which the average person wouldn’t know about, or may have overlooked. That said, there’s no particularly great reason to accept an offer without speaking with an attorney. The fact that initial consultations are FREE is all the more reason to speak with an attorney before accepting any offer.
If I'm injured on the job, is Workers Compensation my Only Option?
Workers Compensation can provide very important benefits, but did you know that it doesn’t cover pain and suffering? It also may not cover many expenses that arise from, and continue on after an accident. It is not your only option. In New York, it’s possible to bring suit against site managers, tool manufacturers, developers, and site owners in the event that any one of them causes an accident through negligence. Workers Compensation isn’t your only option. The right attorney can hold these parties responsible, and win recoveries to compensate for every expense, as well as lost wages, future lost wages, and pain and suffering. Every worker owes it to themselves to explore their options in the event of an accident, and we exist to help them do that. If the need ever arises, call for a free consultation.
