Motorcycle, Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

We all race to beat the clock. New York City traffic congestion forces us to find alternative means of transportation, and this means that our city streets are filled with automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and people - all rushing to get somewhere on time. In 2006, New York City was the site of almost 11,000 pedestrian accidents and almost 4,300 incidents involving bicycles and motorcycles. That's almost 15,000 accidents with the potential to result in critical injuries.

The force of impact that motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians sustain in an accident with a motor vehicle is far more dangerous than two car accidents. If involved in an accident with an automobile or truck, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians are at higher risk for:

• lacerations and contusions (cuts and bruises),
  
• broken bones,
  
• injuries to the spinal cord, neck and back, and
  
• brain damage that can lead to paralysis and other painful permanent disabilities and,
  
• in the worst cases, death.
  

Brian Primes has tried enough personal injury cases to know just how debilitating accidents due to the negligence of automobile drivers involving motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians can be. The injuries are often chronic and can result in unemployment and enormous medical costs.

He has the experience and the knowledge to not only protect you in the case of a serious accident, but he also prides himself in educating his clients as to the laws protecting injured persons and the ways in which large, powerful insurance companies will attempt to shortchange you in your time of need. Brian Primes will not allow insurance adjusters and claims representatives to act in the interest of the insurance company; instead, he will take your case to trial and recover the damages you are owed.

Do You Know Your Rights?

Do you understand the implications in the event of a motorcyclist being broadsided by a vehicle whose driver is on his cell phone? As a pedestrian struck by a vehicle, how does the law impact your insurance claim? The average person couldn't possibly wade through the legal jargon in the law books, and Brian Primes understands this. He knows that the best client is an educated client, and he refuses to leave his clients in the dark regarding their situation. Mr. Primes takes the time to review each case with his clients, explaining the laws and options before mapping out a legal strategy.

Insurance companies retain legal teams whose sole purpose is to find all of the loopholes that allow insurers to minimize your claim. In fact, Brian Primes knows that if they can, insurance companies will find a way to refuse your claim altogether. This is unacceptable.

Mr. Primes refuses to allow his injured clients - people who have lost income and jobs, endured painful and serious injuries, or even suffered the wrongful death of a loved one due to the negligence and carelessness of another - to settle for an insurance payment that will not give them the means to maintain quality of life. He will litigate insurance companies to the fullest extent if they are unwilling to pay out the compensation you are owed, and he takes pleasure in winning cases. Brian Primes also enjoys knowing that he was instrumental in educating his clients so that, in the unfortunate event that they are involved in any other incidents in the future, they know their rights.
 

Make Them Pay

Brian Primes believes that negligence isn't the only crime involved in personal injury cases. An equally horrible crime is when a critically injured person is not fully compensated for their pain, suffering, medical costs, and lost wages. If you have been in a motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian accident, you need to know your rights. Fighting insurance companies on your own while trying to recover from a serious injury is nearly impossible, but with Brian Primes on your side, you can win.
