Helmet law
Helmet Law And Your Claim
New Jersey requires motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets. Insurance companies sometimes try to use a helmet or other safety equipment to argue that an injury was caused or made worse by the rider, so it is important to have a lawyer look at how the crash happened and how the injuries occurred.
Injuries
Injuries From Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often cause road rash, broken bones, spinal injuries, leg and hip injuries, and head and brain injuries. Even with a helmet, a rider can suffer serious injuries, so get checked by a doctor right away, even if you feel you are only bruised.
Who pays
Who May Pay For Your Injuries
Compensation can come from the at-fault driver’s liability insurance. Depending on your policies, benefits may also be available through your own motorcycle or auto policy, including personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
New Jersey’s no-fault rules are complicated, so we review every policy that may apply. A claim can also include the cost of repairing or replacing your motorcycle.
Fault rules
New Jersey Fault Rules
New Jersey uses comparative negligence. You can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault, and your award is reduced by your share of fault. Insurance companies often claim that a rider was speeding or not paying attention, so the details of the crash matter.
What to do
What To Do After A Motorcycle Accident
- Get medical care right away, even if you feel fine at first.
- Photograph the scene, the vehicles, your motorcycle, your gear and your injuries.
- Get the other driver’s name, insurance information and contact details, and the names of any witnesses.
- Make sure a police report is filed, and request a copy of the crash report.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company until you have spoken with a lawyer.
- Keep your damaged motorcycle and gear, and do not repair them until they have been documented.

Questions

Can I file a claim if a car hit me while I was riding in Cherry Hill?
Possibly. A claim depends on how the crash happened, who was at fault and what insurance applies. A free consultation can help you find out.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your share of fault.
Do I need a lawyer if the other driver’s insurance company calls me?
