Motorcycle Accident cases in Long Island

Riders on Long Island are on Ocean Parkway, Route 25A along the North Shore and the parkways in summer, and the crash that keeps recurring is the left-turn: a driver crossing the rider's path at an intersection or into a strip-mall entrance. Because New York no-fault excludes motorcycles, a Long Island rider is left with health insurance and liens while the liability case does all the work — and the pothole and road-surface cases that come with Island parkway maintenance carry municipal notice deadlines of their own.

What the law requires

New York no-fault excludes motorcycles.
  1. 01

    A rider has no automatic medical or wage coverage, so treatment runs through health insurance with a lien to resolve later, and the liability claim against the at-fault driver carries the whole case. The compensation for that is real: because the threshold in Insurance Law § 5102(d) exists as the trade-off for no-fault benefits, riders are not held to it and can pursue pain and suffering directly.

  2. 02

    The recurring obstacle is the assumption that the rider must have been speeding —

    answered by scene measurements, downed-bike geometry and helmet damage, documented before the vehicles are released.

Questions about motorcycle accident cases in Long Island

Not answered here? A lawyer will answer it, free and at any hour.

Ask us directly
Which court would my case be in?
Nassau County cases are filed in the Supreme Court at 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola; Suffolk County cases go to 1 Court Street, Riverhead. Which one depends on where the accident happened and where the parties are — we handle the appearances either way.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. The consultation is free and the fee comes out of the recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
How soon should I call?
As soon as you can. Deadlines aside, the evidence in these cases has a short life — camera footage is overwritten, vehicles are repaired, sites are cleaned up and records age out. Early work is what makes the difference.

If there was more than 5 stars Seth Fields and his associates would get them all. Mr. FIelds went to trial with a jury in Suffolk Cty Riverhead Supreme Ct & won w/ a verdict in minutes for 100% Liability. The defense worked with Mr. FIelds in a settlement before the damages trial began. I would stop here searching any further & contact Seth Fields if you want a Smart, Attainable for your questions, concerns, Empathetic to your needs but a Bull Dog with your case, then you found your attorney.I can’t thank you enough for all your long hours, weekends, holidays that you put into 7 yrs of all my medical, motions, hearings & trial etc. WE WON! You did it and obtained a large settlement that I couldn’t be more happy after this long tough journey. I would refer everyone to you that has a case that needs fighting for. 🙏

The most amazing, professional and knowledgeable with great communicators with injury law, and I highly recommend that there is no reason for second and third opinions on procuring a law firm with their experience and know how. They are second to none. My time was precious, and they respected every minute of it. Thank you!
