Motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries. A motorcyclist has nothing to soften the blow of a collision; therefore, injuries obtained in a motorcycle accident can be more extensive than if the driver were in a car. To make matters worse, motorcycle insurance is not usually as comprehensive as automobile insurance and might not include medical payment coverage. Our motorcycle accident attorneys are experienced in dealing with accidents with high medical bills and serious injuries. We uncover all available liability insurance and negotiate reductions in medical expenses with hospitals and surgeons to get you a fair settlement.
We start by understanding your situation, reviewing the details of your accident, and advising you on your legal options.
Our team gathers medical records, accident reports, expert opinions, and all necessary documentation to support your claim.
We engage with insurance companies to pursue a fair settlement while keeping your best interests at the forefront.
If a fair offer is not made, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate aggressively on your behalf.
When a case moves into litigation, having a confident and experienced legal team comes essential. We approach every case with the mindset that preparation and precision make the difference.

You should hire a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible. Hiring a motorcycle accident attorney sooner will ensure that witnesses and other evidence is preserved. In addition, our attorneys can obtain police reports, ensure proper documentation and treatment of injuries, and handle communications with insurance adjusters. Waiting to hire a motorcycle accident attorney can hurt your case.
The value of a motorcycle accident case is based on the amount of medical bills incurred, the amount of wages lost, and the nature of your injuries. Other factors might impact your recovery such as whether the negligent driver was insured or the extent of the negligent driver’s insurance.
Hiring a motorcycle accident attorney does not cost you anything upfront. Instead, motorcycle accident attorneys are paid a percentage of your settlement funds when the claim is paid. This type of fee arrangement is called a contingency fee – the attorney fee is contingent on your attorney obtaining a recovery for you. You owe your attorney nothing if your attorney cannot obtain a settlement for you.
Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe. The most common types of motorcycle injuries are listed below.
Head Injury
Serious injuries to the head can cause life-transforming results or even be life-threatening. When the brain swells past the barriers of the skull, trouble is sure to follow. The most common injury sustained from a motorcycle accident is a head injury. Concussions and even brain damage are a few serious head injuries after a motorcycle accident.
Neck Injury
A neck injury is also a common serious motorcycle accident injury. Like the head, a neck injury can often become fatal or life-changing. A neck injury can paralyze the victim or even kill them. Protecting the neck and head by wearing a motorcycle helmet is the best thing you can do.
Leg Injury
Usually, a leg injury following a motorcycle accident results in a broken bone. Though bones can heal, a serious leg injury that goes undetected can be life-threatening. The injury could grow into something worse or permanently disabling. Injuries such as shattered or fractured bones or knees can possibly be prevented if the motorcyclist wears protective leather clothing over his or her legs.
Arm Injury
When a motorcyclist is involved in an accident, it is human instinct to draw one’s arms around or in front of oneself to lessen the impact. Doing this however means greater impact and more damage to the nerves of the arms. When a motorcyclist lands on their arm, permanent nerve damage may occur in the arm or upper body. To prevent this, sturdy jackets and elbow pads should be worn by the motorcyclist to protect against severe damage.
Road Rash
When a rider slides across the pavement after a motorcycle accident, the injury sustained is known as road rash. If the clothing is thin enough, the pavement can scrape away through layers of clothes reaching the skin and tearing it apart. Road rash is not just a simple scrape or cut. Permanent damage such as skin irritations, infections, and even surface nerve damage can occur from road rash injuries.
Muscle Damage
Any part of the body can be exposed to muscle damage following a motorcycle accident. Some muscle damage from a motorcycle accident can even become permanently damaged. To protect yourself on a motorcycle, wear proper protection such as a helmet, heavy clothing, and proper footwear. Another thing you can do to protect yourself is to drive defensively to avoid a motorcycle accident.
