The Bias Riders Often Face After a Manchester Motorcycle Crash
Assumptions often form early after a motorcycle accident. A driver may claim the motorcycle was speeding or appeared from nowhere before anyone has closely examined what actually happened. Challenging that narrative starts by separating assumptions about riders from the facts of the crash.
For instance, after a collision at the intersection of Maple and Pearl Streets in Manchester, the focus should not be on how motorcyclists in general tend to speed. Rather, the question should be how these particular vehicles approached the intersection, who had the right-of-way, and what the available evidence shows about their movements before impact.
Rob Levine understands how stigma can unfairly undermine a motorcycle accident claim—both as an attorney and as an avid motorcycle rider himself. Our team’s approach is to identify potentially biased assumptions about your riding and test them against the evidence, helping keep the focus where it belongs: on what caused your crash.
Proof Beyond Mere Assumptions
When fault is disputed after a motorcycle accident, evidence that provides an objective account of the crash can become especially important. Useful evidence may include:
- Photographs of the accident scene: Vehicle positions, debris, skid marks, and roadway conditions can help reconstruct how the collision occurred.
- Vehicle damage: The location and severity of damage to the vehicles involved can indicate the point and angle of impact.
- Independent witnesses: Someone who saw the vehicles before or during the collision may provide an account without a direct financial interest in the claim.
- Camera footage: Traffic camera video and surveillance footage from businesses or nearby properties may show what happened leading up to and during the crash.
- Accident reports: The police report can also provide valuable information about the scene, drivers, and witnesses.
No single piece of evidence necessarily establishes fault, but the available information taken together can build a clearer picture of what happened. At Rob Levine Law, we’ll gather all of the available evidence to build the strongest claim possible.
New Hampshire's Helmet and Eye Protection Rules
New Hampshire law requires motorcycle operators and passengers under age 18 to wear approved protective headgear. Adults are not required to wear helmets. However, if the motorcycle lacks a windshield or screen, the law requires the operator to wear eyeglasses, goggles, or a protective face shield.
The failure to wear a helmet does not automatically bar you from pursuing compensation for a crash caused by another party. However, insurers often try to shift blame to the rider by claiming that the lack of a helmet caused or contributed to the injuries.
Common Motorcycle Injuries and the Compensation Available
Because they lack the protection of a passenger vehicle, motorcycle riders are vulnerable to severe injuries that require months of treatment or result in lasting consequences. Common motorcycle accident injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, road rash, and internal organ damage. These injuries may result in future medical expenses, lost income, permanent disability, scarring, disfigurement, and serious impacts on your daily activities.
Your compensation after a motorcycle accident should reflect those broader effects. For instance, a broken leg may mean surgery and rehabilitation, but it can also mean months away from work. A spinal injury may require future treatment while limiting the work and activities you can return to.
In a motorcycle accident claim, you can pursue compensation for a wide range of economic and non-economic losses, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages and income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost quality of life
- And more
An experienced Manchester motorcycle accident lawyer can determine the full value of your losses and account for all of the impacts your injuries will have on your life.

How Fault Sharing Affects What You Recover
New Hampshire has a modified comparative fault law. Under this system, you can generally recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the responsibility.
Therefore, when determining liability after a motorcycle accident, unsupported assumptions about motorcycle riders can unfairly devalue a claim. The assessment of fault should reflect what really caused the accident. Rob Levine Law can push back against bias and counter attempts to unfairly shift blame by building a strong claim grounded in evidence rather than mere assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents
The Other Driver Said They Never Saw Me. Does That Help My Claim?
A driver’s statement that they did not see your motorcycle does not absolve the driver of fault. In fact, it may establish that they failed to maintain a proper lookout. The totality of the circumstances leading up to the collision must still be examined.
How Long Do I Have to Bring a Motorcycle Accident Claim in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire’s statute of limitations generally gives you three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, don’t wait until the deadline to speak with a lawyer. Evidence may disappear quickly. Acting promptly gives you the best shot at building a successful claim.
What If My Passenger Was Hurt Too?
Your passenger may have a separate personal injury claim against the party responsible for the crash. Depending on what happened, that could include another driver and, in some circumstances, the motorcycle operator. Because the passenger’s claim is distinct from the operator’s, each person’s rights and potential responsibility should be evaluated separately.
