New York follows a pure comparative negligence law. That means sharing in the blame for a crash doesn’t automatically bar you from recovering compensation. As long as someone else also shares the blame, you can recover damages from that party.
Your damages award will reflect any fault allocated to you. For example, assume you weren’t wearing a helmet that complies with New York helmet laws. If the insurance company can prove your injuries were made worse because of this, they can pin part of the blame on you. If you’re allocated 25% of the blame, your damages award can be reduced by 25%.
The less fault that’s allocated to you, the more compensation you can recover. There’s no exact formula for allocating fault. Having an experienced motorcycle accident attorney in your corner gives you the best shot of recovering fair compensation for your injuries.
Depending upon the severity of the crash, you may be looking at weeks or months of recovery. We’ll fight to recover fair compensation for your injuries.

That means your attorney will:

In New York, you have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Once the three years are up, your injury claim will be barred–meaning you lose your right to recover compensation from the responsible parties.
If you don’t file your lawsuit within the three-year period, you’re also unlikely to receive an insurance settlement–so it’s important to act quickly.
