Motorcycle accident survivors and the loved ones of those who have been in killed in fatal crashes face very difficult challenges. We understand and know how to overcome the unique challenges that motorcycle accident victims and their loved ones face when pursuing compensation, including:
- Bias against bikers which you may encounter at every step, from EMTs, law enforcement and witnesses on the scene through judges, jury members, and others involved in your case
- No witnesses or unreliable witnesses, including victim’s inability to remember the accident due to brain injury
- Jury members who do not ride and do not understand how motorcycle accidents occur
- Difficulty proving the value of a custom bike
- Severe or catastrophic injuries
Because motorcycle riders are completely exposed, accidents are far more likely to cause catastrophic or fatal injuries than car wrecks. Accident victims frequently incur one or more of the following:
- Brain, back and spinal cord injuries
- Amputations
- Lacerations, broken bones & “road rash”
- Joint injuries
- Burn injuries (fuel-fed fires)
- Facial and eye injuries
Collisions with other vehicles are usually caused by negligent drivers who violate motorcyclists’ right of way, often never even seeing them because so many drivers simply do not pay attention. Common examples include:
- Cars making a left-hand turn into the path of a motorcycle
- Cars hitting motorcycles while changing lanes
- Unsafe lane change not hitting the motorcycle but forcing the motorcyclist to make evasive maneuvers resulting in a crash
- Distracted driving
