Hacker Murphy, LLP

Your phone buzzes with a text from the repair shop. They need to know if you're fixing the bike or scrapping it, and they want an answer soon.

That answer decides more than you'd think. Once the bike leaves the lot, skid marks fade, debris gets swept up, and the dents that showed exactly how it was hit go with it. Photos from the scene, a witness's name and number, and medical records tracking the injury from the ER forward are often crucial once the bike stops telling the story for you.

New York requires a serious injury, such as a fracture or significant disfigurement, before you can sue for pain and suffering instead of just medical bills. The proof missed in the first week is often the proof that shows you meet it.

Call us before you give the shop an answer: 518-274-5820.

After that, we're working from photos. Not the motorcycle itself.

Picture yourself six months post-collision in the Capital Region. Your herniated disc has you sleeping in a recliner and missing your kid's soccer games.

New York's serious injury threshold demands proof that an injury is more than minor, mild or slight.

"Soft tissue" injuries such as nerve damage, carpel tunnel, torn ligaments, torn rotator cuffs, torn meniscus or disc injuries can often qualify under New York's "No Fault" law.
