Icentlyhavestarted been a model for three years, and have reacting. My passion for modeling began
with the love I’ve had for photography for the majority of my life. Last summer I submitted into Playboy for centerfold, and I now know there’s nothing that I want more than to be a successful model. I always keep an open mind and explore new arts be it writing, photography, modeling, or acting. I had the pleasure to work on Royal Pains on USA, The Americans on FX, and Martin Scorsese’s newest upcoming movie The Wolf of Wallstreet. Just this year, I drove across country to move to San Diego for modeling, and it helped me see how much I love my job and want to be the best I can be. I know my journey into my career has just begun, and I am very grateful to have experienced all these things at such a young age.

ASK THE ATTORNEY BY: LEE D. GABER, ESQUIRE 1-888-CYCLE-LAW • LeeGaber@cycleattorney.com • www.cycleattorney.com old and new clients. Over the years I have probably met 50-100 new clients by taking the time to answer all types of motorcycle related questions and simply press the flesh with my brothers and sisters who ride. I might be wrong but I think other bikers actually enjoy meeting the actual motorcycle attorney who will be handling their case should they ever need a motorcycle lawyer or maybe everyone just likes the free chip clips and lighters we hand out. Either way, I truly enjoy going to these shows as it gives me an opportunity to personally meet some clients that I may not have gotten the chance to meet when I represented them for their motorcycle accident cases. Although we try to meet with most of our clients who have been injured in a motorcycle accident, sometimes depending on the severity of their injuries and/or the amount of coverage available, their claim will often resolve before we ever get to meet. This is one of the reasons I try to attend as many motorcycle events as I can! Lastly, I just agreed to be the featured motorcycle accident attorney at the Lansdale Bike Night. As most of you already know, it is always the Saturday after Labor Day and is held at the Lansdale train station in PA with 50,000.00 plus bikers in attendance. It’s a great event, and I never miss it so hopefully I will see you there.
Just when I thought I had learned all there was to learn about NJ uninsured (UM) and underinsured (UIM) motorist coverage, the insurance companies are changing the rules once again. I recently had a client that was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and had $25,000 in UIM coverage on his motorcycle policy. The person who caused the accident only had $15,000.00 in liability coverage so we made a claim against the UIM coverage on his motorcycle policy. Because he lived with his father, we also made a claim under the fathers’ automobile policy on which there was $500,000.00 in UIM coverage. We have done this before and have been successful. However, this time we learned that the insurance company had changed their policy language and wrote a buy-down clause into the auto policy, which lowered the amount of available UIM coverage to the state minimum, $15,000.00, if a claim was being made by a family member who owned another vehicle which had UIM coverage through another insurance company. I have done some research into this situation and unfortunately it appears as though the insurance companies can do this as long as they have given notice in advance of the change in coverage. Unfortunately, given the injuries sustained by my motorcycle client, the case will end up as an insurance tragedy as there is just not enough coverage to compensate him for the injuries he sustained. On another note, I recently attended the Burlington Bike Night which was held along the water in Burlington County, NJ. To my surprise there were actually three other law firms in attendance. Each were advertising that they represent “bikers” and were handing out advertising materials like magnets and pens, etc., just as my office has done for years. However, I was surprised by the fact that I was the only actual “motorcycle attorney” who took the time to personally attend the event and say hello to
