Do You Have to Wear a Motorcycle Helmet in Long Island?
In Long Island, motorcyclists are required to wear a helmet under New York law. The state has a universal helmet law, which mandates that all motorcycle riders and passengers, regardless of age, must wear helmets that meet federal safety standards. This law is in place to protect motorcyclists from severe head injuries, which are among the leading causes of fatalities in motorcycle accidents.
Wearing a helmet not only reduces the risk of catastrophic injuries but also has legal implications in the event of an accident. If a motorcyclist is injured while not wearing a helmet, it could affect their ability to recover compensation for damages. Insurance companies or opposing parties may argue that the failure to wear a helmet contributed to the severity of the injuries, potentially reducing the amount of compensation awarded.
For those involved in a motorcycle accident, understanding these laws is crucial to building a strong case. An attorney experienced in Long Island motorcycle accident cases can help navigate these complexities, ensuring compliance with helmet laws does not unfairly impact a claim. Legal representation can also address other factors, such as proving liability and pursuing the compensation deserved for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
