Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are among the most serious types of motor vehicle accidents and often result in life-altering injuries.  Thousands of motorcyclists are injured or killed in collisions with cars and trucks each year. It is rare for bikers who are involved in motorcycle accidents to escape injury because motorcycles offer little protection in the event of a crash. The lack of a roof, doors, airbags, and seat belts leaves motorcyclists vulnerable to fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries.

One of the most common causes of motorcycle-car collisions and motorcycle-truck accidents is failure on the part of other motorists to see the motorcycle. Dangerous road conditions (such as potholes), motorcycle defects, and adverse weather conditions can also contribute to a motorcycle crash. Unfortunately, some insurance companies and defense firms argue that motorcycle operators are generally more careless than other vehicle operators. For this reason, injured motorcyclists should seek representation from an attorney who is experienced in litigating motorcycle accident lawsuits.
