Was your crash the result of someone else’s negligence?
Every day, motorcyclists share public roads with thousands of other vehicles. Responsible riders know that operating a motorcycle requires focus and awareness, yet even the most cautious motorcyclist can fall victim to the negligence of other drivers in just a matter of seconds.
A crash for the driver or passenger of a motorcycle can mean serious injuries or even death. According to NHTSA.gov, motorcyclists are about 27 times as likely as passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and six times as likely to be injured.
Common motorcycle accident injuries include:
- Head injuries, including traumatic brain injury
- Neck and spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
- Loss of limbs
- Broken bones
- Second- and third-degree burns
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Torn ligaments, tendons, muscles
- Abrasions, contusions, lacerations
Injured in a motorcycle accident?
It may be time to talk to a lawyer.
Because motorcycles offer minimal protection when they collide with a car, truck, or fixed barrier, riders end up absorbing the impact with their bodies. Recovering from a motorcycle accident can be stressful and overwhelming. Serious injuries may force you to take time off of work or burden you with unexpected medical expenses.

Don’t give the insurance company the upper hand.
After an accident, the insurance company’s primary goal is to pay the smallest amount possible to settle your motorcycle accident claim. Insurance companies are in business to make a profit and they make billions of dollars each and every year by settling claims as quickly as possible.
We’ll fight for the maximum recovery owed to you.
While motorcycles may pose a greater risk of danger for the rider compared to a car or truck, the rules of the road apply to everyone. If you or a loved has been injured in a motorcycle crash due to recklessness or negligence of another driver, you may be able to recover compensation through a personal injury claim.
Compensation may cover:
- Medical bills
- Therapy and rehabilitation costs
- Pain and suffering
- Living expenses during recovery
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning potential
- Disability or permanent injury

Number of people who died in
motorcycle crashes in 2015,
up 8.3 percent from 4,594 in 2014
Number of motorcyclists injured in 2015,
down 4.3 percent from 92,000 in 2014
Common causes of motorcycle accidents:
Left-turn Collisions. A NHTSA study found that 42 percent of motorcycle accidents were caused by other vehicles making failed left turns.
Unexpected or Illegal Changing Lanes. Motorcycles easily fit into blind spots. Size and visibility are among the many challenges they face on the roadway.
Rear-end Collisions. A fender-bender on a motorcycle can cause serious injury or even death.
Speeding. Driving at unsafe speeds can significantly increase the risk of a serious accident, especially for motorcyclists who lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle.
DUI/DWI. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can make drivers unaware of their surroundings, including others on the road.
Distracted Driving. Texting, using a cell phone, eating or drinking, using a navigation system… it only takes a second for a distracted driver to drift into the wrong lane, or worse.
