Riders are often unfairly blamed for crashes, even when a driver was negligent. Barreto Law Firm fights to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
Unlike drivers protected by steel frames and airbags, motorcyclists absorb the full impact of a collision. This often leads to severe, life-altering injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long-term care.
Many drivers simply fail to see motorcyclists. When they don't look carefully, riders pay the price.
Even with a helmet, riders can suffer concussions, skull fractures, and permanent cognitive damage.
Sliding across pavement causes severe skin abrasions that often require skin grafts and cause infections.
Neck and back injuries that can lead to partial or complete paralysis, changing lives forever.
Broken legs, arms, and shattered pelvises are common. Severe crashes may even result in limb loss.
Insurance companies often hold a bias against motorcyclists, assuming the rider was speeding or reckless. We use hard evidence to prove the driver was at fault.
We provide dedicated, aggressive, and personalized representation for injured motorcyclists.
You work directly with your attorney, not a case manager. Your questions are always prioritized.
We don't back down from insurance companies. We fight to ensure they pay the full value of your claim.
We work on a contingency basis. You don't pay us a dime unless we win your case or secure a settlement.
Proudly serving both English and Spanish-speaking communities across New Jersey.
Yes, but it can complicate your claim. New Jersey has a mandatory helmet law. If you were injured while not wearing a helmet, the insurance company may argue you contributed to your head injuries. We fight to minimize this comparative negligence argument.
"I didn't see the motorcycle" is not a valid legal defense. Drivers have a duty to check their blind spots and be aware of all road users. We use police reports and witness accounts to prove driver negligence.
The value depends on medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Because motorcycle injuries are severe, these amounts are often much higher than standard car accident claims.
Absolutely. Your helmet, jacket, gloves, and motorcycle damage are all part of your property damage claim and can be fully compensated by the at-fault driver's insurance.
