More and more, riding motorcycles has become a very popular activity; but despite its popularity, the intrinsic nature of motorcycles makes riding them a potentially dangerous task. Motorcycles do not offer drivers or passengers any form of protection, primarily because there is nothing between the rider and the open road other than the few clothes that the rider is wearing and possibly a helmet. That said, if you have suffered an injury because of a motorcycle accident, you should call to schedule an appointment with a knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorney who can explain all of your legal options in greater detail.
Common Motorcycle Crash Injuries
Motorcycle accidents may involve different types of injuries. The most common types of motorcycle injuries are often serious and even fatal. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in life-threatening injury or death. In such cases, hiring a Motorcycle Accident Attorney New Jersey can be helpful.
Some types of motorcycle injuries are more common than others, including:
If your motorcycle accident was caused by the recklessness or negligence of another party, you may be entitled to money damages for the injuries you suffered. Hiring a Motorcycle Accident Attorney New Jersey will ensure that you get the right compensation for the damages and injuries you have suffered. The experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney New Jersey at the Law Offices of Dan T. Matrafajlo are dedicated to aggressively fighting to protect your legal rights and getting you the full compensation that you deserve.
Causes of Motorcycle Accident in New Jersey
There can be a whole host of reasons for a motorcycle accident. For instance, due to the small size of a motorcycle, a lot of drivers of passenger vehicles and big-rig trucks simply do not see motorcyclists. Accordingly, a motorcycle may be in a car’s blind spot when the driver of the vehicle attempts to change lanes and an accident may occur from that lane change. Furthermore, the motorcycle itself (or one of its parts) may be defective or broken such that its defect can cause a serious accident. For example, defective brakes on a motorcycle might not allow the driver to stop in time to avoid an accident. This requires an experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney New Jersey who can handle your case well.
When considering how to best handle a personal injury case that involved a motorcycle accident, it may turn out that the best way for the parties to resolve the dispute is through settlement or through some type of alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration or mediation. However, in the absence of a settlement or alternative dispute resolution, the case will proceed to trial.
How Can a New Jersey Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help?
At trial, the Motorcycle Accident Attorney New Jersey for each side will present their evidence and arguments, and the judge or jury will decide the unresolved issues. Once the judge or jury has reached a decision, the judge will enter a judgement for the successful party. Either or both parties can then appeal the judge’s decision to a higher court. If the case is settled, however, it cannot be appealed if both parties have agreed to the terms of the settlement. Call Motorcycle Accident Attorney New Jersey Dan T. Matrafajlo at 908-248-4404 for a free consultation.

I was referred to Dan for a serious DUI which involved multiple tickets no injuries no accidents. Dan assured me that might case had some flaws he did not make any promises made me feel comfortable and put my worries at ease. Needless to say mycase was dismissed due to complications Dan brought forward in the court he fought hard for me and my family and my freedom at a very reasonable price I would consider this law firm one of the best for DUI cases in New Jersey I've sent many of my friends with similar cases to him not with all the success I had but very good results

I had a work related incident on 11/2017. I immediately google reviewed a workers comp attorney. Beninato & Matrafajlo Law firm revealed extremely positive reviews. Without a hesitation I drove to their Elizabeth location seeking help. Attorney Andrew was very polite, courteous and resourceful with aiding my problems. Andrew assistant was just as helpful. They kept me updated throughout the entire process via phone or email. The doctors they administered to me were pleasant as well. Even though the process took nearly 2yrs - Andrew was alongside for entire journey. On May 29, 2019 I finally went to court for work incident. Andrew prompt me on entire court process making me feel comfy and confident before speaking in front of judge. After the ordeal Beninato & Matrafajlo Law firm followed up making sure I was completely satisfied with everything. I wouldn’t of chosen anyone else! Thank You Andrew, his assistant & entire Law firm for the marvelous experience.

Dan really went above and beyond for my case . I was wrongfully accused of reckless driving . He could of just told me to take first plea deal and been done with it . Instead he suggested I refuse . The prosecutor in turn ran us around for months refusing to budge. Dan was sted fast in his support for me and never wavered. What started as a reckless driving which is a criminal offense ended as an unsafe driving ( 0 point offense). All thanks to Dan's hard work and perseverance

Few months back, my husband had injured in a car accident. It seemed to be a small injury, but in fact it was brain injury and the truck who hit our car, ran away. We were so confused that how to survive and get compensation for brain injury. At that time, from my friend's reference, I got to know about Beninato & Matrafajlo Law, The firm handled our case very carefully and passionately, took the right steps for us and helped us in getting compensation. Thanks to Beninato & Matrafajlo Law!

I starting using Dan after a VERY bad experience with a previous attorney who took advantage of our family. Dan is a great lawyer and very competent. While he specializes in personal injury, he and his office staff proved themselves on multiple occasions to be more then competent in other areas of the law. He's quick to respond and always makes us feel like our case is his top priority. I have since referred him to multiple people and their experience has been a positive one as well. His rates are reasonable and he has no desire to drag things out, file extension after extension etc. and rack up my bill as our previous attorney did. We highly recommend Dan Matrafajilo Esq., as does everyone I know who have used his services before.
