Sweden Riders: If You’ve Been Hit, This Is How You Take Control

A motorcycle crash in Sweden, NY can flip your world in seconds. You might’ve been riding down Route 19 or cruising through traffic near Brockport-Spencerport Road, and suddenly everything changed. Now you’re left injured, your bike’s wrecked, and the insurance calls start pouring in. You didn’t cause this—but now you’re expected to clean it up. That’s where motorcycle accident attorneys come in. We step in, take on the legal fight, and help you protect your future.

At Horn Wright, LLP, we’ve represented riders across Sweden, who were injured because of someone else’s bad decision. If you’re hurt and feeling lost, we’re here to get answers, take the pressure off, and help you recover what you’ve lost—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Why Motorcycle Accidents in Sweden Are Different

Sweden’s layout makes certain roadways more dangerous than others. Riders often face challenges with:

• Narrow shoulders on Sweden-Walker Road
• Drivers cutting across lanes at the Four Corners in Brockport
• Fast-changing traffic near SUNY Brockport’s campus

These conditions make it harder for drivers to react in time. Unfortunately, riders are the ones who usually pay the price. When a crash happens here, local knowledge makes a difference in showing how the environment played a role.

What to Do Right After the Crash

The scene of the crash might feel chaotic, but a few key steps can help protect your claim and your health.

• Call 911 and make sure law enforcement and EMS respond to the scene
• Let paramedics check you out, even if you don’t feel pain right away
• Take photos of the vehicles, road, injuries, and anything that tells the story
• Exchange contact and insurance info with the other driver
• Get the names and phone numbers of any witnesses

Once you’re safe, talk to motorcycle accident attorneys who know how to preserve that early evidence and use it to strengthen your case.

The Real Fault May Surprise You

It’s easy to point fingers at the driver who hit you—but that’s not always the full story. Sometimes, crashes happen because of other hidden factors.

It’s Not Always the Obvious Driver

In Sweden, we’ve handled cases where:

• A car stopped short, but poor visibility on the curve played a role
• A commercial truck’s load shifted, causing the vehicle to veer
• A malfunctioning traffic light caused confusion at the intersection

New York uses a comparative fault system, which means multiple people—or entities—can share legal responsibility. Even if you’re partially at fault, you still have a right to pursue compensation.

Motorcycle Insurance Gaps in New York

Here’s the harsh truth most riders don’t learn until it’s too late: motorcycles are not protected under New York’s no-fault insurance system.

That means:

• Your own policy won’t automatically cover medical bills
• You must prove someone else caused the crash to recover anything
• You’re responsible for upfront costs unless you purchased extra coverage

Insurance carriers often take advantage of these rules, offering low settlements or questioning your injuries. That’s when having motorcycle accident attorneys on your side becomes critical.

The Hidden Cost of Life-Altering Injuries

Motorcycle injuries are rarely minor. Even with the best helmet and gear, your body takes the full force of a crash. We’ve seen riders in Sweden suffer from:

• Crushed limbs that limit mobility or require surgery
• Spinal injuries that impact movement or bladder function
• Traumatic brain injuries with long-term effects on memory and mood
• Road rash and burns that need grafting and follow-up care

These injuries don’t just heal overnight. They change how you live, work, and interact with your world.

How Horn Wright, LLP, Builds a Case the Right Way

When you work with Horn Wright, LLP, we go far beyond the surface. We build every case like it’s going to trial—even if it settles out of court. That means we:

• Gather police reports and EMS records
• Review photos, videos, and surveillance footage
• Interview witnesses and follow up quickly
• Use accident reconstruction experts if needed
• Consult with medical professionals to tie injuries directly to the crash

We build claims that are detailed, credible, and hard to ignore.

What You Can Expect in Compensation

A fair recovery isn’t just about fixing your bike. It’s about rebuilding the parts of your life that were damaged or lost because of the crash. Depending on your injuries, you may be able to recover:

• Medical expenses now and in the future
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability
• Pain and emotional distress
• Repairs or replacement for your motorcycle and gear
• Long-term care costs for therapy, rehab, or permanent disability

We work to uncover the full scope of what you’ve lost—and we don’t settle for less.

Filing Windows You Can’t Miss

New York law gives you a limited time to take action. Under CPLR § 214, you typically have three years from the crash date to file a personal injury lawsuit.

But if your crash involved a town-owned vehicle, faulty road maintenance, or a public entity, you may need to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Missing these deadlines can mean losing your right to pursue compensation altogether.

We help make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
