Motorcycle accidents account for a disproportionate number of serious injuries on New Jersey roads, though motorcycles make up just 3% of vehicles, riders are involved in over 14% of traffic fatalities statewide.
In Fort Lee, the combination of congested roads, tight merges near the George Washington Bridge, and distracted drivers creates dangerous conditions for motorcyclists.
If you or a loved one were injured in a motorcycle accident in Fort Lee or anywhere in Bergen County, you may be facing painful injuries, steep medical bills, and an uncertain future.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we help injured riders hold negligent drivers accountable and fight for the full compensation they deserve.

Motorcyclists face unique dangers and unique challenges after a crash. Unlike passengers in enclosed vehicles, riders are directly exposed to the impact, making injuries more severe and recovery more complex.
To make matters worse, insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists, painting them as reckless or at fault, even when the facts say otherwise.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we understand these tactics—and we don’t back down. With decades of combined experience representing motorcycle accident victims in Fort Lee, Fort Lee, NJ, Bergen County, and across North Jersey, we know how to push back against bias, investigate what happened, and demand justice.
Our extensive experience and proven track record in handling motorcycle accident cases set our law firm apart when it comes to fighting for your rights.
Our local experience matters. From Route 4 to the Palisades Parkway, we know the roads, intersections, and traffic conditions that contribute to crashes in this area. We also serve clients throughout Hudson County and Essex County as part of our broad geographic coverage.
We also know how to present your case, whether to an insurer or a jury, to pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
Every motorcycle crash is different—but the impact on your life can be overwhelming. Our firm has extensive experience handling accident claims and motorcycle accident claims for injured riders. That’s why we begin every case by listening.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we take the time to understand what happened, how your injuries have affected your life, and what your recovery needs truly are.
From there, we take immediate steps to build a strong motorcycle accident claim:
Comprehensive Case Evaluation: We review police reports, helmet cam or dash footage, medical records, and your own account of the accident to understand all the facts. This evaluation is crucial for building strong personal injury cases.
Accident Investigation and Reconstruction: We work with trusted experts to determine fault, analyze crash dynamics, and gather critical evidence—from witness statements to skid marks to surveillance footage from intersections like Lemoine Avenue or the approach to the George Washington Bridge.
Preservation of Evidence: Timing is critical. We act fast to preserve accident scene evidence, road hazard documentation, and vehicle damage before it’s lost or altered.
Medical and Financial Documentation: We quantify the full scope of your damages—emergency treatment, follow-up care, physical therapy, lost wages, and the long-term cost of serious injuries like traumatic brain injuries, internal damage, or fractured bones. This documentation is essential for pursuing financial recovery for our clients.
Our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while we handle the legal fight for the compensation you need to move forward.
Insurance companies are not on your side after a motorcycle accident. Their goal is to minimize payouts—not to make you whole. And when it comes to motorcycle crashes, insurers are quick to point fingers at the rider, hoping to reduce or deny your claim entirely.
For many motorcycle accident victims, pursuing a claim can feel like an uphill battle due to these tactics and the legal complexities involved.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we level the playing field. We handle all communication with the insurance company so you don’t have to.
From the moment we take your case, we protect your rights, shield you from pressure tactics, and make sure nothing you say is used against you.
We know their playbook:
They’ll question your injuries.
They’ll downplay their driver’s fault.
They’ll delay, deflect, and offer lowball settlements.
We don’t let that stand. Our team builds airtight claims with solid evidence, detailed medical documentation, and expert input to demand the full amount you’re owed.
Whether you’re facing pushback on liability or an unreasonably low offer, we fight to secure fair compensation, and we are committed to secure compensation for every client we represent—not just what the insurer is willing to offer.
Most motorcycle accident cases settle out of court, but that doesn’t mean we settle for less. At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we approach every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation sends a clear message to the insurance company: we’re serious about getting full compensation.
Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and experienced injury lawyers who know how to present the evidence, calculate damages accurately, and push back when insurers try to shortchange our clients.
We pursue a fair settlement that covers not just your immediate medical bills, but long-term needs—rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, and the toll on your quality of life.
If a reasonable settlement isn’t offered, we’re ready to go to court. Our firm has successfully litigated motorcycle accident cases throughout Bergen County, and we’re prepared to bring your case before a jury if that’s what it takes.
Whether we’re sitting across the table from an insurance adjuster or standing before a judge, we fight for one thing: justice for injured riders. We provide comprehensive personal injury solutions to address every aspect of your recovery and legal needs.
