Do I Really Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney?
If you’ve been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be facing months, even years, of difficult recovery. You may be out of work for that long, and worried how you’ll provide for your family and pay your medical bills. Do you also want to add the burden of fighting against insurance companies and lawyers to reimburse you for your losses? An experienced motorcycle attorney will take on the burden of dealing with insurance companies and lawyers to get you the compensation you rightly deserve. That way, you can focus on your family and your recovery.
A motorcycle accident attorney has the knowledge and experience to evaluate your case. An attorney will know how to demonstrate to insurance agents that you were not responsible for the accident. They will document your past expenses and calculate your future damages so that you do not miss out on any needed compensation. A motorcycle attorney will also work with your insurer to make sure they rightly pay any PIP coverage under your policy, and if necessary, also pay out uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. If you have to take your case to court, a motorcycle attorney will vigorously advocate your case to a judge or jury to get a favorable verdict and judgment. With a lawyer’s help, you are likely to recover far more compensation than you would on your own.

- Single-rider accidents: Motorcycles often get into accidents all by themselves.

In cases where a road owned or maintained by another party is responsible for your accident, you may be able to hold the owner of the road financially responsible for your injuries.
- Multi-vehicle accidents: The most common and most serious motorcycles accidents occur when another vehicle is involved. Another vehicle may not even need to collide with a motorcycle to cause its rider to lose control and crash. The other driver may try to claim that you’re at fault for the accident, but we will fight to prove otherwise. Multi-vehicle accidents include accidents caused by:
- Drunk driving
- Drugged driving
- Aggressive driving
- Distracted driving
- Drowsy driving
- Reckless driving
- Violation of traffic laws
- Speeding
- Failure to check blind spots
- Mechanical defects: Motorcycle accidents can be caused by mechanical issues with the motorcycle itself. Even when you properly maintain your motorcycle, you can suffer engine, transmission, brake, or tire issues if the motorcycle was improperly designed or manufactured. When your motorcycle fails you, we can identify the responsible party and bring them to justice.
- Wrongful death: Motorcycle accidents too often result in the rider’s death. If your loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident through no fault of their own, let us pursue justice for your family.
