If You Just Bought A New Motorcycle, Beware!

Did you know that most accidents happen within the first 5 months of owning a new bike, irrespective of how long someone’s been riding? Inexperience is a factor too, but not always in the case of a new motorcycle. It takes some getting used to a new bike.

Typically, as the rider is getting to know the new bike the driver is distracted by differences in equipment or ride. Since the attention is misdirected it is easy to be lax about watching out for other drivers on the road. Riding in heavy traffic is never a good time to be distracted.

Typically, most injuries happen near the bikers’ own residence and at intersections they have driven through many times before. A quick scenario would be a vehicle makes a left turn at an intersection, which forces the motorcyclist to crash into the side of a vehicle head-on, launching the rider into the air and severely injuring the rider. Drivers often turn in front of motorcycles at intersections either because they don’t see them or they are not paying attention.

The motorcyclist may suffer numerous injuries to the body such as broken bones, head injuries or even injuries severe enough to result in the loss of life. This is no time to try to determine who is legally responsible for the accident on your own. Get help!

Our law office has an experienced staff to help you fight for your legal rights when injured in a motorcycle accident. Do not try to deal with insurance company adjusters or lawyers. Focus on getting justice first.

If you or a loved one has gone through a devastating motorcycle accident, call our office as soon as possible.

I’m so grateful to this firm especially Attorney Duggan and his assistant Ms. Sargent. I was injured in a car accident. They were very informative, they took the time to listen, respond to emails, explained things to me in detail and were readily available to answer any and all questions I may have had. One of the things I’m most appreciative of is how they kept me in the loop pertaining to my case! Thank you both!!!!

The Horwitz Group has earned a 5 star review from me for being a firm par excellence.To be perfectly honest, I was a little hesitant to use them in the beginning, because of stereotypes that are often associated with personal injury lawyers. They are sometimes painted as being sharks. It is indeed a misnomer to ever see Mark and Jared viewed in this light! I love that they were Zealous, but not Vicious! The Horwitz Group brought their A-Game which…

Mark Horowitz is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer. Our case lasted 5 years due to specific circumstances and throughout the entire time he remained efficient and consistent. Responded to all calls and text within minutes and really stayed on top of all things. That aside I find that he does have compassion and empathy towards our horrible situation, which you don’t get from a lot of lawyers. Overall great experience, highly recommend.
