Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to cause serious bodily injury than car accidents, for obvious reasons. Part of the allure of a motorcycle is the wind in your face, the feeling that’s it just you and the road, and the overall freedom of the motorcycle experience. It’s that freedom that also means that you are virtually unprotected from the road and its inhabitants.

Motorcycles accidents are rarely catastrophic for the cars or trucks involved. The laws of physics dictate that the person on the motorcycle is the one most often seriously harmed. Those with significant experience on motorcycles know that only a small fraction of motorcycle accidents are the fault of the motorcyclist.

While there are certainly inexperienced and reckless motorcycle owners, the vast majority of motorcycle accidents happen because people in cars and trucks simply don’t spot motorcycles as well as they see larger motor vehicles. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, it’s likely someone else just didn’t see you.

If you have been the victim in a motorcycle accident, the person and/or company responsible for your accident, is also responsible for making you whole once again. That means repairing or replacing your motorcycle, as well as all medical bills and lost wages that result from the accident.

Beside the mental and physical traumas that normally accompany a motorcycle accident, the next challenge is confronting the insurance agencies. Whether the person who hit you is a little old lady who never saw you, or an overtired UPS driver pushed to his limits, 99% of the time, you’ll be trying to recover costs from an insurance company.
