Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Who Wins Cases

Queens Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Standing Up for Riders

Motorcyclists know the thrill of the ride—but also the risks. On crowded NYC streets, one careless driver can change your life in seconds. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, or Long Island, you need an attorney who understands riders and the legal challenges they face.


Attorney Supriya Kichloo is a motorcycle accident lawyer in Queens who works directly with her clients from start to finish. She knows how insurers and defense attorneys try to blame bikers for crashes—and she’s not afraid to challenge those stereotypes head-on.

Rider Risks

Motorcycle Accidents in NYC Are Serious and Often Avoidable

New York streets aren’t built for forgiveness. Between congested traffic, distracted drivers, and poor road conditions, motorcyclists face hazards every day. According to state crash data, riders are far more likely to suffer severe injury or death compared to people in cars.


We handle motorcycle accident cases of all types, including:


  • Crashes caused by drivers making unsafe left turns

  • Collisions from drivers changing lanes without checking mirrors

  • Incidents involving lane splitting (learn more in our lane splitting blog post)

  • Drivers opening doors into the path of a rider (“dooring”)

  • Potholes, loose gravel, or uneven pavement causing loss of control

Crash Factors

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries We See

Motorcycle crashes often result in life-altering injuries, such as:


  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

  • Road rash and severe skin lacerations

  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Internal injuries requiring surgery

These injuries can mean long recovery times, high medical bills, and the inability to work—making fair compensation essential.

Fighting Bias Against Motorcyclists

One of the biggest challenges riders face isn’t on the road—it’s in the claims process. Insurance companies and even juries sometimes assume motorcyclists are reckless. Supriya Kichloo works to dismantle that bias by:

Collecting eyewitness statements early »

02

Securing accident reconstruction reports »

03

Gathering helmet cam or surveillance footage »

Highlighting the driver’s negligence, not the rider’s choice to be on a bike »

Helmet Rules

Helmet & Insurance Laws Riders Should Know

In New York, all motorcycle riders and passengers must wear helmets. Not wearing one can impact the compensation you receive for head injuries—but it does not automatically bar you from filing a claim.



Also important: motorcyclists in New York are not covered by the state’s no-fault insurance law. This means you must prove fault to recover damages, but it also means you can pursue full compensation for pain and suffering—something car crash victims under no-fault can’t always do.

We Stand Up for All Types of Riders

From sport bike enthusiasts to delivery riders and commuters, we represent all motorcyclists. We’ve taken on cases where riders were hit by texting drivers, forced off the road by careless lane changes, or struck by commercial trucks making illegal turns.

Motorcycle Accident FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED questions

  • What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet during the crash?

    You can still file a claim. Not wearing a helmet may reduce compensation for head injuries, but you may still recover damages for other injuries.

  • The driver who hit me fled—can I still recover?

    Yes. You may be able to file an uninsured motorist claim with your own policy or through the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation (MVAIC) if you don’t have coverage.

  • How long do motorcycle accident claims take?

    It depends on the case. Some settle in months, others take longer—especially if serious injuries are involved or if the case goes to trial.
