New York Motorcycle Accident Legal Questions

Sorry to hear that your're still experiencing symptoms from the motorcycle crash. Absent any fraud or duress in getting you to settle your case, there'd be no basis to reopen the settlement. That you are still experiencing symptoms is not grounds to vacate a settlement - that's the risk of settling. Every settlement takes into consideration the fact that the future is unknown and that your condition could improve, stay the same or, in your case, get worse. Best regards, Jonathan R. Ratchik, Esq.

Every settlement takes into consideration the fact that the future is unknown and that your condition could improve, stay the same or, in your case, get worse. If you still wish to view your file, you'd have to go to the county clerk's office in which the case was filed and requisition it. Given how much time has elapsed, it's likely been archived.

MAKE SURE YOU TAKE AND KEEP POSSESSION OF THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE CALIBER.  You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state). Look for one who does products liability work. Personal injury attorneys take  cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts (with at least a couple involving products liability claims). Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.

First, condolences for your loss.  As a father of three I can't imagine what you're going through. You should contact a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney and run the facts by him.  He will advise you whether you have a viable cause of action for the adults failure to supervise your son.  Depending on the nature of the motorbike, there may also be a products liability claim.   Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney.
