Protecting Motorcycle Crash Victims in Sussex, Morris, and Warren Counties
Motorcycles offer freedom and excitement on the open road, but they also come with unique risks. Riders have far less protection than drivers in cars or trucks, which means even a minor crash can lead to serious injuries. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Northern New Jersey, knowing your legal options can make a big difference in your recovery.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle crashes often result in severe injuries, many of which require long-term medical care:
- Road Rash – Painful skin abrasions that can lead to infections or permanent scarring.
- Fractures and Broken Bones – Common in arms, legs, and ribs after being thrown from a bike.
- Spinal Injuries – Damage to the back or neck can cause long-lasting mobility issues or paralysis.
- Head and Brain Injuries – Even with helmets, concussions and traumatic brain injuries are a major risk
These injuries can lead to costly medical bills, time away from work, and lasting emotional challenges.
Fault & Liability in NJ Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes in New Jersey often occur because of driver negligence. Common causes include:
- Distracted or careless driving
- Failure to check blind spots
- Dangerous road conditions
