Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in New York & New Jersey

Fighting for Bikers Hurt by Inattentive Drivers

Motorcyclists have the same rights as anyone on the road—but they face far greater risks. With little protection and limited visibility, riders are often the victims of careless drivers who turn without looking, fail to yield, or follow too closely. At Larkin Farrell, we represent injured bikers across New York and New Jersey, holding negligent drivers accountable and recovering the compensation you need to heal.


We know the bias riders face—and we know how to push back.

Causes and Consequences of Motorcycle Accidents

We represent clients injured in crashes caused by:


  • Left-turn collisions where drivers cut across oncoming motorcycles
  • Unsafe lane changes or merges without checking blind spots
  • Speeding, tailgating, or aggressive driving
  • Road hazards like potholes, debris, or oil slicks


Motorcycle accidents often lead to serious injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, road rash, and spinal cord damage. We fight to recover medical costs, future care expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Key Considerations in Motorcycle Crash Cases

Riders Are Often Blamed—Unfairly

We challenge assumptions that the rider was at fault and work to establish the driver's negligence through accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and expert analysis.

Injuries Are Often Catastrophic

Because motorcyclists are so exposed, even low-speed crashes can cause permanent damage. We pursue full compensation, not quick settlements.

Insurance Companies Are Tougher on Riders

Insurers may try to deny or undervalue your claim. We push back hard, with evidence and courtroom readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a lawyer after a motorcycle accident?

    Yes—especially if you were seriously injured. The insurance process is biased against riders, and we know how to level the playing field.

  • What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

    It depends on state law and the nature of your injuries. Lack of a helmet may affect compensation, but it doesn’t bar you from filing a claim.

  • How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

    In New York, generally 3 years; in New Jersey, 2 years. Don’t wait—early legal action is key.

  • Can I recover if I hit a pothole or road hazard?

    Sometimes, yes. If a city or property owner failed to maintain safe conditions, they could be liable. We investigate all possible sources of negligence.

  • What if the other driver had minimal insurance?

    We explore your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and may pursue additional defendants like commercial owners or road contractors.
