Motorcycle and electric bicycle riders are exposed to injuries that can be life-changing even in a relatively low-speed collision. These cases also present distinctive issues involving visibility, roadway positioning, protective equipment, vehicle classification, and insurance coverage.
Fusco Law examines the mechanics of the crash and the complete medical picture, rather than accepting assumptions about rider conduct. The analysis may include vehicle data, sight lines, roadway design, and the conduct of every involved driver.

Frequently asked questions
Can a rider recover if someone claims the motorcycle was speeding?
An allegation is not proof. Vehicle damage, video, witness accounts, electronic data, and reconstruction evidence may help determine speed and the actual sequence of events.
Are e-bike cases treated like motorcycle cases?
Not always. The classification of the bicycle, how it was being used, and the insurance policies involved can affect the analysis.
What if a roadway defect contributed to the crash?
A public entity, contractor, utility, or property owner may be implicated, depending on the location and cause. Claims involving public entities are subject to special notice and timing requirements.
