tell us about your case

Motorcycle accidents can bring unexpected challenges, from dealing with injuries to handling insurance claims. A motorcyclist has less protection than drivers in other vehicles, which means even a small accident can result in serious injuries. Even when you’re careful, a crash can leave you facing tough situations. If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, it’s important to understand your rights and take the necessary steps to obtain the compensation you need for your injuries and losses.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often occur due to the negligence of other drivers. Some common causes include:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers not paying attention to motorcycles on the road.
  • Failure to Yield: Motorcycles can be overlooked at intersections when drivers fail to yield.
  • Speeding: High speeds can make it difficult to see motorcycles or stop in time to avoid a collision.
  • Lane Splitting: Although legal in some states, lane splitting can lead to accidents, especially when drivers change lanes without noticing a motorcyclist.
  • Drunk Driving: Impaired drivers are a leading cause of accidents involving motorcycles.

Serious Injuries Common in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable on the road compared to other vehicles. Without the protection of a metal frame, airbags, or seatbelts, riders can experience severe injuries such as:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with helmets, motorcyclists can suffer life-threatening brain injuries.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: A crash can cause permanent damage, resulting in paralysis or loss of function.
  • Broken Bones: Arms, legs, and ribs are frequently fractured in accidents.
  • Road Rash: Abrasions from sliding across the pavement can lead to serious infections and permanent scarring.
  • Internal Injuries: These may not be visible immediately but can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.

Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident, there are key steps you can take to protect your health and legal rights:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine, it’s important to get checked for hidden injuries.
  2. Report the Accident: File a police report to document the accident. This will serve as crucial evidence later on.
  3. Gather Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damage to your motorcycle. If there are witnesses, get their contact information.
  4. Avoid Admitting Fault: Even if you feel partially responsible, don’t admit fault at the scene. The investigation may reveal other factors.
  5. Contact an Attorney: A skilled personal injury attorney can help guide you through the process and ensure that your rights are protected.
