Obtaining compensation for your losses following a motorcycle accident in New York can be intricate. Motorcycle accidents often entail circumstances that set them apart from car and truck accidents. One significant distinction is that New York law prohibits motorcycle drivers and passengers from receiving benefits under a no-fault insurance policy. This exemption from No- Fault coverage for motorcyclists and their passengers is detailed on the website of the New York Department of Financial Services. In the absence of No-Fault coverage, motorcycle operators and passengers injured in an accident in New York or the surrounding region must pursue other avenues of legal recourse against the negligent party responsible for their injuries.
