Legal Rights While a Fatal Crash Is Still Under Investigation
A fatal collision like this one leaves behind serious legal questions before it leaves behind answers about what actually happened. Until investigators determine who had the right of way at that intersection, it is not possible to say which party bears responsibility.
If you or someone you love was affected by this crash, and you were not the one who caused it, New York law provides a path to compensation, whether that means a wrongful death claim brought by the personal representative of the motorcyclist’s estate, or a personal injury claim if you were hurt and another driver was at fault.
An attorney can push for the full accident reconstruction report, identify and speak with any witnesses at that intersection, and make sure the eventual finding of fault is based on complete evidence rather than an early, incomplete account of what happened.
