Brooklyn Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Dedicated Legal Support for Riders Injured by Negligent Drivers

Riding in Brooklyn demands constant awareness because a single careless move from a driver can put a motorcyclist in real danger. Riders already face a higher risk of serious injury than people in cars, and after a crash, they often face another challenge: the assumption that they somehow caused it. That kind of bias can influence insurance conversations and make it harder to get a fair evaluation at a time when you should be focused on healing. 

Ajlouny Injury Law understands how motorcycle accidents unfold in Brooklyn and how quickly the narrative can shift away from the facts. For more than 25 years, we have stood up for injured motorcyclists who needed someone to push back against assumptions, gather meaningful evidence, and ensure their injuries and losses were taken seriously. Our focus is on being a strong advocate for your recovery, your rights, and your future.

How Attorney Ajlouney Uses His Medical-Legal Background to Strengthen Your Claim

Motorcycle injuries are some of the most misunderstood injuries in personal injury law. A rider can experience significant trauma that does not fully appear on early imaging, symptoms that develop over days, or soft tissue damage that adjusters often dismiss. 

We are uniquely equipped to recognize these patterns. Attorney Paul Ajlouny brings a medical background that includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry, time in medical school, and years spent as a hospital administrator before entering the legal field. That experience informs how our office reviews medical records, interprets diagnostic testing, and identifies injuries that might otherwise be overlooked.

When we handle a motorcycle claim, we look beyond the initial ER report. We compare imaging to your symptoms, study the progression of your treatment, and gather records that illustrate the true medical impact of the crash. This allows us to address points insurance carriers often challenge, explain your injuries clearly, and present evidence that reflects what the crash has actually done to your health and daily life.

If this medical-legal approach is what you need, reach out for a free consultation. We can review your injuries together and talk about the direction your claim can take.

How Ajlouny Injury Law Builds Leverage in Brooklyn Motorcycle Accident Claims

Motorcycle claims require a different level of investigation. Riders often lose control of the narrative early unless the right evidence is preserved. Our team works quickly to gather information that strengthens your case and prevents insurers from filling in the gaps with assumptions.

Here is how we approach motorcycle claims:

• We secure evidence as soon as possible. We obtain police reports, locate witnesses, request available traffic and surveillance footage, and document the condition of the motorcycle and protective gear.
• We evaluate the crash mechanics. Motorcycle collisions involve unique forces and angles of impact. We interpret how those factors align with your injuries and how they counter any claims that you caused the crash.
• We identify all potential sources of insurance coverage. Brooklyn motorcycle crashes often involve multiple policies, including the at-fault driver, rideshare companies, commercial vehicles, or uninsured motorist coverage.
• We prepare your case for negotiation with clarity and precision. By presenting a fact-based, medically supported claim, we reduce opportunities for insurers to question the seriousness of your injuries or the cause of the crash.

We Push Back Against Insurance Bias Toward Riders

Insurance companies often begin motorcycle claims with a built-in bias. They may assume the rider was speeding, weaving, or taking risks, even when the evidence shows otherwise. Ajlouny Injury Law addresses these issues directly.

Our team:

• Challenges statements or conclusions that attempt to shift blame without proof
• Highlights driver inattention, unsafe turns, and failure to yield
• Clarifies the visibility issues that drivers often misunderstand
• Uses medical documentation to explain the severity of your injuries
• Presents evidence that reflects the actual sequence of events

Pursuing the Compensation Injured Riders Need to Recover

• Damage to your motorcycle and riding gear
• Pain, suffering, and lifestyle changes caused by the crash

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in New York?

New York law usually allows three years from the date of a motorcycle accident to file a personal injury claim. Start the process promptly so evidence is preserved and important deadlines are met.

What Should I Do Immediately After a Motorcycle Accident?

First, ensure your safety and call 911. If possible, gather information such as witness statements, scene photos, and the other party's insurance details. Always seek medical attention, even if injuries are not obvious, and consult a qualified attorney for guidance.

Will My Case Have to Go to Court?

Many motorcycle accident cases are settled out of court, but some may require a trial if the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement. Your attorney will recommend the best approach based on negotiations and the development of your case evidence.

What compensation is available in a motorcycle accident claim?

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries that lead to significant medical bills, time away from work, and long-term physical or emotional effects. We pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and damage to your motorcycle and riding gear. Speaking with our team can help you understand what compensation may be available based on the specifics of your case.

What happens after I file a motorcycle accident lawsuit?

Once your lawsuit is filed, our team conducts a detailed investigation that includes reviewing evidence, speaking with witnesses, and consulting with experts when necessary. We handle negotiations with insurers and prepare your case for litigation if it becomes necessary. If the case proceeds to court, our attorneys represent you throughout the process and guide you through each step so you understand what to expect.

What Kinds of motorcycle accident cases have You handled?

Our firm has represented riders in a wide range of Brooklyn motorcycle crashes, including:

• Left-turn collisions where drivers fail to yield.
• Distracted driving impacts involving drivers who never saw the motorcycle.
• Dooring incidents on narrow Brooklyn streets.
• Crashes caused by poor road conditions such as potholes and construction zones.
• Collisions involving speeding or aggressive driving.

Why does your medical background matter for motorcycle injury cases?

Many motorcycle injuries are not fully visible on initial scans or develop over time. Attorney Paul Ajlouny’s medical background helps us interpret diagnostic findings, understand injury progression, and ensure your medical records accurately reflect what you are experiencing. This perspective is especially important when insurers question the severity or cause of your injuries.

What if the insurance company says I was not wearing a helmet?

You may still be able to recover compensation. New York law allows injured motorcyclists to pursue damages even if they were not wearing a helmet. Your compensation may be reduced if the lack of a helmet contributed to the severity of your injuries, but it does not prevent you from filing a claim.

What if I was lane splitting?

Lane splitting is not permitted in New York, but it does not automatically bar you from seeking compensation. We examine all contributing factors to determine how responsibility is allocated under New York’s comparative negligence rules. Even if lane splitting plays a role, you may still recover damages.

Can I recover if I was partially at fault?

Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence system, which means you can recover compensation even if you share some of the blame. Your recovery may be adjusted based on your percentage of fault, and we work to ensure that number is fair and supported by evidence.

How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?

On average, we've found that a motorcycle accident claim is worth around $545,165. The exact value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery takes, the impact on your ability to work, the cost of medical care, and how the crash has affected your daily life. Once we review the details of your case, we can provide more information about what compensation may be available to you.
