Slip and fall accidents can take place essentially anywhere, but one of the most common locations for them are apartment complexes. These multi-unit structures provide homes for many people and pose significant hazards for residents and visitors.

If you or someone you love was involved in a motorcycle crash, the aftermath of the collision can be overwhelming. This is where the Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum steps in to serve as your New York City motorcycle accident lawyer.
We have comprehensive knowledge of common crash causes and local laws to offer tailored legal guidance that helps injured riders get the justice they deserve.
Although motorcycles only make up a small percentage of the vehicles on the roads in New York City, motorcyclists account for a startlingly high rate of traffic fatalities and serious injuries. In NYC, motorcycle accidents are especially hazardous due to our high population density and the steady flow of traffic at all times of day.
NYC motorcycle accidents are often the result of distracted or impaired drivers, speeding, and reckless driving. Accidents commonly occur due to left-turn and failure-to-yield collisions in New York. Poor road conditions due to weather, construction zone hazards, lane changes, and blind spots also contribute to many motorcyclist injuries and fatalities across all five boroughs each year.
If you are involved in a motorcycle crash, it’s essential to seek medical attention right away – even if you feel fine at first, because some injuries progress as the initial shock wears off. To the best of your ability, document everything at the accident scene by taking photos, gathering witness contact information, and obtaining a copy of the police report.
It’s also important to contact a New York City motorcycle accident lawyer, like the Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum. Avoid talking to insurance companies until after you’ve connected with your attorney. Downplaying your injuries, admitting fault, or providing contradictory statements can hurt your claim and make it more challenging to receive a settlement in your favor.
As your NYC motorcycle accidents lawyer, our firm will investigate every factor relevant to your crash, including the road conditions, other drivers’ behavior, visibility issues, and traffic laws. We’ll work tirelessly to build a strong case for third-party negligence based on someone else’s unsafe driving or roadway violations.
We help our motorcycle accident NYC clients pursue compensation to help pay for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property loss, and even wrongful death if applicable. When you hire us as your New York City motorcycle accident lawyer, we’ll handle all the details of your case so that you can focus on your recovery.
We offer compassionate, dedicated, and aggressive representation to help right the wrongs and pursue justice after a motorcycle crash. You don’t have to face your fears and uncertainties alone after an accident. We are here for you, just a phone call or an online contact form away from genuine, trusted legal help.
Since a statute of limitations applies to all cases for motorcycle accidents in NYC, don’t delay getting your free legal consultation after a crash. We’re available 24/7 when you call 718-237-5586.
