Motorcyclists are injured not by “accident”, they are injured by negligence. Negligence of other careless drivers of cars, trucks, or buses is the cause of most motorcycle crashes. Unfortunately, their negligence causes injury that includes pain, suffering, and disfigurement. Financially, these life-changing injuries cause lost income and piled debt due to unpaid medical bills.
Sometimes the cause of a motorcycle accident is not clear. However, too often police and dangerous drivers place blame on motorcycle riders for causing or contributing to a motorcycle accident. The truth of the matter is that most motorcycle operators ride their bikes with care, safety, and caution. Still, that affords no protection from negligent and careless drivers.
At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., our New Jersey motorcycle accident attorneys believe it was not your fault. We understand that and with the right set of facts, we will prove it. We have the results and track record to win motorcycle accident cases in New Jersey.

How to Choose a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in New Jersey?
When selecting an attorney, focus on these key qualifications to ensure you have the right advocate for your case.
- Prioritize Motorcycle-Specific Experience: Don’t just hire a general personal injury lawyer. Motorcycle accidents in New Jersey have unique legal challenges, most importantly that motorcycles are excluded from “no-fault” (PIP) insurance coverage. A specialized lawyer will understand how to navigate this and counter common biases against riders.
- Verify a Strong Trial Record: Insurance companies are more likely to offer a fair settlement to a lawyer who has a history of taking cases to court and winning. Look for attorneys designated as a “Certified Civil Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey,” as this indicates a high level of skill and experience.
- Understand the Fee Structure: Your lawyer should work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless they win your case. The fee is a percentage of your recovery. Get a clear, written agreement explaining the percentage and how case expenses are handled.
- Use the Free Consultation to Ask Key Questions:
- What is your specific experience handling motorcycle accident cases in New Jersey?
- What is your strategy for a case like mine?
- Will you be my main point of contact?
- How are case costs handled if we don’t win?
- Trust Your Judgment: Choose a lawyer who communicates clearly, answers your questions directly, and gives you confidence. A strong attorney-client relationship is crucial for navigating the stress of a legal case.
