You deserve compensation for damages caused by someone else’s negligence. With Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC on your case, you can rest easy knowing we will not settle for less than you deserve. If your motorcycle crash was the result of another person’s negligence, we could help you recover damages, including:
- Costs for medical care, supplies, and devices

- Mental and physical pain and suffering
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Diminished quality of life
Insurance companies are notorious for trying to minimize settlement values. We know how to gather evidence to prove your injury severity and secure the maximum possible settlement for your losses.
Life-Altering Motorcycle Injuries
Some catastrophic motorcycle injuries cause long-term hardship or disability, which may require additional medical treatment and financial support. Our team has experience handling catastrophic injury claims for life-altering conditions, including:
- Chest injuries and internal organ damage
- Crushing injuries and fractures
- Road rash, burns, and permanent scarring
- Spinal cord injury and paralysis
- Loss of limb and amputation
- Traumatic brain injuries
We can help you get a letter of protection (LOP), which lets you receive medical care while your case is in progress. That way, you can get critical and timely medical treatment without having to wait for your final settlement or award.
Fatal Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Unfortunately, motorcyclists lack protection from the force of a collision, which can lead to fatal injuries. If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, you have our sincere condolences. To get justice and compensation, the victim’s legal personal representative can file a claim for wrongful death damages, including funeral costs, lost income, and medical bills.
If you lost a spouse in a motorcycle accident, you may also be able to file a loss of consortium claim for loss of emotional support, companionship, and services. Speak with a wrongful death attorney to discuss your legal options.

We Work to Hold the Liable Parties Fully Accountable for Your Motorcycle Crash
To recover compensation after a motorcycle accident, we have to prove that your injuries arose because of someone else’s actions. For example, if a driver hits your motorcycle because they didn’t stop for a red light, we look for evidence to show how they violated traffic laws and caused the crash.
While some cases are simpler than others, many motorcycle crashes are complicated by other factors, such as multiple parties, manufacturer defects, or road conditions. It is our job to investigate the fundamental cause of your accident so we can hold the right parties responsible and recover the compensation you need.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in New York include:
- Speeding
- Failure to use signal turns
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Drowsy driving
- Failure to check blind spots
- Passing unsafely
- Trying to share a lane occupied by a motorcycle
- Defective roadway or objects in the road
- Manufacturer defects
Whether your accident was caused by another driver, a damaged roadway, or a defective motorcycle part, our team has the knowledge and experience to seek fair compensation on your behalf. Let us use our skills and resources to secure the maximum settlement for your injuries.
Protect Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Collision
The aftermath of a motorcycle crash is often disorienting. Once you have received medical attention and are in a safe place, you can take these steps to protect your right to compensation.
1. Follow Your Doctor’s Orders
You may need surgery, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and other treatments to regain your health and mobility. Attend all follow-up appointments and physical therapy sessions and be sure to use assistive equipment as instructed. The medical records for your treatment provide crucial evidence to support your claim. In addition, don’t engage in activities your doctor prohibits. Doing activities against your doctor’s orders could give the insurance company grounds to reduce or deny your claim.
2. Get a Copy of the Accident Report
Per VAT § 605, the officer responding to an accident involving injury, death, or property damage over $1,000 must file a report. You may search for a report or request a copy online through the state or online through the Southampton Police Department.
Our attorneys know how to navigate the process. We can help you get the information you need for your case from the appropriate authorities.
3. Hire a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
A personal injury attorney can help you get the information you need to start the legal process. Most motorcycle accident victims must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years or risk losing compensation. While this may seem like plenty of time, the clock may already be ticking and this time frame can pass quickly.
The sooner you reach out to our firm, the sooner we can get started on your claim. This also allows our team to collect evidence and testimonies while they are still fresh.
