Linden, NJ (October 1, 2026) – A motorcyclist was hurt in a collision with a Honda near Helen Street and West Blancke Street in Linden on Wednesday, September 30. The crash was reported at about 6:40 p.m.
Emergency crews assisted those involved. The motorcycle rider was conscious and alert but reported back pain.
Southbound traffic was closed near Woodhaven Avenue. Additional road closures were reported at Helen Street and West Blancke Street.
Local authorities continue to investigate what caused the crash.
We hope the injured rider makes a full and steady recovery.
An insurance company opens a motorcycle accident claim, assigns an adjuster, reviews the crash and injuries, and then decides whether to accept or deny the claim or make a settlement offer based on the available information.
Because New Jersey motorcyclists generally do not receive PIP benefits like occupants of private passenger vehicles, medical bills may be handled through health insurance, available motorcycle medical coverage, or a claim against an at-fault driver, depending on the coverage involved.
When the other driver’s insurer asks for a recorded statement, choose your words carefully. The adjuster may compare what you say with other information and consider any inconsistencies when reviewing the claim, especially if your account differs from earlier statements.
As the claim moves forward, adjusters may consider the length of treatment, time missed from work, ongoing symptoms, and how the injuries affect daily activities when deciding what they believe the claim is worth.
If another driver caused the crash, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, motorcycle repair or replacement costs, and pain and suffering. The amount available depends on your losses, the insurance coverage involved, and the circumstances of the case.
Under New Jersey’s comparative fault rule, sharing some responsibility can reduce the amount you recover. If you are more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover damages from the other driver, even when you have significant losses.
When an insurer questions your account of the crash or tries to place too much blame on you, a motorcycle accident lawyer can review the evidence and challenge those claims. An attorney can also communicate with the insurance company and review any settlement offer before you accept it.
