Personal Injury Lawyers in New York

Many motorists who are in car accidents attribute the help of air bags to saving their lives, but recently, a motorcyclist can say the same thing regarding his air bag jacket. Joseph McPhatter, of Maryland, was injured in a crash on Interstate 83 after being cut off by another motorist. He was ejected 100 feet and hit the ground at an impact rate of 140 mph. Police said he probably would have been severely injured had it not been for the Impact Jacket he was wearing, a jacket that inflates like an air bag when motorcyclists crash.

McPhatter suffered sore ribs and knees and a few other minor injuries. This is the first crash in the U.S. where the jacket was used.
