Terrible Wrecks Call for Outstanding Counsel
After you have been in a motorcycle accident, you will probably have a

Who is Liable in a Motorcycle Accident?
Do you know that the driver who hit you is the one who should be liable for your motorcycle accident? While this is a good starting point, it can only get you so far because that driver and their auto insurance company are probably going to blame you. To prove that you are not liable, it helps to understand the causes of motorcycle accidents and what evidence can be used to establish fair liability.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Drivers speeding through red lights
- Drivers turning left in front of approaching motorcyclists
- Drivers not checking mirrors before changing lanes
- Drivers refusing to share the road with motorcyclists
In many of these incidents, driver inattention is the root form of negligence that causes the crash. Motorists who are not watching the road and the vehicles around them can look at but not “see” a motorcycle because they have trained their eyes to only acknowledge larger vehicles with two headlights.
What Are the Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries?
Motorcyclists depend on their helmets and protective clothing to protect them from injuries in a motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, such protective garments can only do so much to prevent or mitigate injuries. In many wrecks, the motorcyclist will be severely injured.
Life-changing injuries often suffered by motorcyclists in crashes include:
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Road rash and permanent scarring
- Broken bones
What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?
There are a number of things that can cause motorcycle accidents. Some involve negligence on the part of other drivers, and some involve negligence on the part of those responsible for maintaining the roads and intersections. Some of the most common causes include:
- Failing to check blind spots when changing lanes
- Lane-splitting in areas where this is not allowed
- Opening a car door suddenly into the path of a motorcyclist
- Stopping suddenly
- Failing to leave enough room when braking behind a motorcyclist
- Failing to yield when making a left-hand turn at an intersection
- Poorly maintained roads
- Driver inexperience
- Defective motorcycles or other vehicles
- Drinking and driving
What Kind of Damages Can You Recover?
You can sue the driver who hit you for damages, but how much do you demand? Our team is here to help you calculate a fair value for y our motorcycle accident claim. The value will represent all of your damages combined, and it can be quite a large sum if you have been severely injured.
You might be able to recover damages that help pay for:
- Medical bills, including future costs
- Lost wages, including future reduced income
- Permanent disabilities and associated hardships
- Physical pain and mental anguish
We want to make certain that we get as much compensation in your name as we can. Money cannot exactly undo what happened to you, but it can make it easier to move ahead and try to regain a sense of normalcy and comfort again. This is why we are so adamant about maximizing your recovery amount.
