Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protective features like airbags and seat belts. Riders are vulnerable to being ejected from their bikes, increasing the risk of serious injury. Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries, which can cause permanent damage such as memory loss, emotional control issues, and consciousness disorders. Spinal cord injuries frequently lead to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury site. Broken bones are also common, especially in the legs, arms, and wrists, often caused by impact or falls. Burns may occur if the gas tank ruptures or ignites during a crash, leading to chemical or thermal burns. Additionally, road rash, a skin abrasion caused by contact with rough surfaces, is a common injury that can cause scarring and infections. Understanding these injuries highlights the importance of safety gear and legal support after a motorcycle accident.

New York State Insurance Law under article 51 excludes motorcyclists under the No-Fault Law. New York Motorcycle Insurance minimums are $25,000 per person injured in any one accident, and $50,000 for two or more people. In the case of death, insurance minimums are $50,000 for one person in one accident and $100,000 for the deaths of two or more people in one accident.

The laws governing motorcycle injuries especially in terms of no-fault car insurance are different in every state. In order to make a successful claim after a motorcycle accident, the injury plaintiffs must prove that the injuries sustained by the riders were the defendant’s fault due to his or her carelessness, inattentiveness or recklessness.
