Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Serving Long Island & NYC
Motorcyclists are exposed in ways other drivers are not. There is no protection from the force of impact. When a crash happens, the injuries are often severe and the financial consequences immediate.
If another driver caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical treatment and future care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injury or disability
These are high value cases. They require a law firm that knows how to build leverage and force insurance companies to take your claim seriously.
Why The Bongiorno Law Firm
Motorcycle accident claims are among the most aggressively defended cases in New York. Insurance companies often assume the rider was at fault and build their defense around that assumption.
We take a different approach.
Every case is prepared with a trial ready strategy from day one. That preparation directly impacts how your case is valued and resolved.
When you hire BLF, you get:
- Direct access to experienced personal injury attorneys
- A dedicated legal team managing your case from start to finish
- Immediate investigation to preserve critical evidence
- Strategic negotiation backed by litigation readiness
- Clear and consistent communication
Our firm handles a wide range of serious injury cases. You can explore additional case types we handle, including car accidents, truck accidents, and construction accidents to better understand how liability is proven in New York injury claims.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Most motorcycle accidents are caused by driver negligence.
- Left turn collisions in front of oncoming riders
- Unsafe lane changes and blind spot violations
- Rear end collisions in traffic
- Distracted driving and cellphone use
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence
- Failure to yield the right of way
Drivers often say they did not see the motorcycle. That is not a defense. It is negligence.
New York Motorcycle Accident Law: No-Fault Insurance Does Not Apply to Motorcycles
In New York, motorcycle riders are excluded from the no fault insurance system. That means:
- No automatic medical coverage
- No wage replacement benefits
- Compensation must be pursued through a liability claim
Under New York law, injured riders generally have three years to file a lawsuit under CPLR § 214.
If a government entity is involved, a Notice of Claim may be required within 90 days under GML §§ 50-e and 50-i.

Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
Shortly after a motorcycle accident, the insurance company may contact you.
They may sound helpful. They may ask for a recorded statement. They may suggest resolving the claim quickly.
This is not for your benefit.
Insurance companies are trained to:
- Shift blame onto the rider
- Minimize the severity of injuries
- Lock you into statements that hurt your case
- Settle claims for less than they are worth
You are not required to give a recorded statement.
Before speaking with an adjuster, it is critical to understand your rights. We can answer your questions and explain your legal options when you call us: (516) 741-4170. You can also reach us directly through our contact page.
Common causes of left turn motorcycle accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Drivers misjudging a motorcycle’s speed
- Unsafe turns at traffic lights or stop signs
- Obstructed visibility at intersections
- Aggressive or impatient driving
How We Build Strong Motorcycle Accident Cases
Winning a motorcycle accident case requires more than basic documentation. It requires a strategic approach to liability and damages.
At The Bongiorno Law Firm, we build cases using:
- Police reports and witness statements
- Surveillance and traffic camera footage
- Accident reconstruction analysis
- Roadway and visibility evaluations
- Medical documentation and expert opinions
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
Compensation in Motorcycle Accident Cases
Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe and long term. Compensation reflects both financial losses and the impact on your life.
You may recover:
- Medical expenses and future care
- Lost income and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
The value of a case depends on the severity of injuries, available insurance coverage, and the strength of liability evidence.
Local Representation Matters
Motorcycle accident lawsuits on Long Island are typically filed in:
- Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola
- Suffolk County Supreme Court in Riverhead
Having a law firm that understands the local courts, judges, and insurance defense strategies can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.

Exceptional Representation, Dedication, and Results — The Bongiorno Law Firm I cannot express enough gratitude to The Bongiorno Law Firm and their entire team for the exceptional representation and dedication they have shown throughout my personal injury case. After suffering a serious accident that left me with permanent damage to my leg, I faced one of the most difficult and uncertain periods of my life. Over the course of more than four years, the firm worked diligently on my behalf, ultimately securing a $1.25 million settlement that will make a meaningful difference in my future. What I appreciate most is the time, effort, persistence, and professionalism that went into achieving this outcome. I understand that personal injury cases can be complicated and demanding, and I am genuinely grateful for the work their team put into representing my interests. While no financial settlement can undo the physical damage or the lifelong challenges I now face, the compensation they secured provides me with an important measure of financial security and peace of mind. Knowing that I have resources to help navigate my future means more to me than words can fully express. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Mr. Richard Bongiorno Keri lynn and everyone at the firm who contributed to my case. Their hard work and commitment have had a lasting impact on my life, and I will always be thankful for what they accomplished on my behalf. For anyone seeking experienced and dedicated personal injury representation, I would highly recommend The Bongiorno Law Firm. Thank you once again for everything you have done for me.

Their transparency and attention to detail have made a real difference for me, and I'm grateful for what they've done and what they continue to do. If you're choosing a law firm, start with the Bongiorno team. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

My husband and I were in a car accident in 2021 and the Bongiorno Law Firm was recommended by a friend. My case was settled this year and although it was a lengthy process everyone working on our case was always helpful and good at following up with us. The Bongiorno team was always available to answer any questions we had and provided the information and guidance we needed as this was our first time dealing with a No Fault case. They not only provided us with legal advice and representation but were diligent in connecting us with the proper agencies for medical treatments wich was of the utmost importance for treating our injuries. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the entire firm and to some of the members that worked on our case: Kristina Washington, Gabriella Weinberger, Pamela Rodriguez, and special shoutout to Keri Lyn Timlin and Daisy Alonso-Bautista for all their time and compassionate profesionalism, and of course Richard Bongiorno who was always just a phone call or text away. I've already recommended them to some friends and will continue to do so as these guys are the real deal. No scams, no having to chase them. Real people working for you and for the best outcome. With over 40 years in service when you choose the Bongiornos, there is no room for regrets.

The Bongiorno Law firm is great. John took excellent care of me with my slip and fall case. He kept me updated on everything going on and got me a settlement that I was more than happy with.
-
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm! From the very beginning, Richard and his son were extremely supportive, professional, and hands-on throughout my entire case. What really stood out to me was how involved they were. Sometimes you deal with law firm owners who aren’t very hands-on, but that was definitely not my experience here. Richard and his son made sure I was informed, communicated with me well, and genuinely made me feel like my case mattered. My settlement was completed within the year, which I was very happy with, and the entire process moved much faster than I expected. The communication, professionalism, and overall service were amazing. I truly appreciate everything this firm did for me and would absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone looking for people who are knowledgeable, supportive, and actually care about their clients! P.S if you refer someone you get a nice gift 😊 Thank you daisy for making the funds quickly accessible to me. Will be coming back!
