Injured In A Motorcycle Accident?
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents result from other drivers failing to notice riders. Driver negligence accounts for the majority of crashes, such as:
- Making left turns at intersections without yielding
- Making lane changes without checking blind spots before merging
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Driving while distracted, such as while using a cell phone
Other factors can also contribute to motorcycle collisions. Road debris, potholes, and uneven surfaces pose serious hazards to motorcyclists while having minimal impact on four-wheeled vehicles. Defective motorcycle parts or equipment can also cause catastrophic accidents.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries and Consequences
Motorcycle accidents typically result in more severe injuries than car crashes due to the limited protection riders have. Traumatic brain injuries can occur, even with proper helmet use. A rider could be thrown from their bike and suffer road rash, broken bones, and soft tissue damage.
In severe cases, riders can suffer partial or complete paralysis from spinal cord injuries. They may require amputation due to severe lower extremity injuries. Depending on the type of injury, the physical recovery process can extend for months or years.
Special Legal Considerations for Motorcycle Cases
A motorcycle accident case involves factors that make it different from typical car accidents. Many people—including some police officers, insurance adjusters, and potential jurors—hold the inaccurate belief that motorcyclists are reckless and may automatically believe you were at fault, regardless of what happened.
Your state’s helmet laws might affect your claim, even if you are not required to wear one. The insurer may point to this as evidence of recklessness, which can be used to reduce or even deny your claim.
How a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Helps
Trust Monge & Associates to protect your rights and defend you against unfair bias. We build your case from the ground up, starting with detailed accident reconstruction that reveals exactly what happened in the moments before impact. Our attorneys stay current on every regulation affecting motorcyclists, so nothing gets overlooked.
Years of experience have taught us to recognize and counter the tactics insurance companies use to minimize payments to riders. When fair settlement offers aren’t forthcoming, we take your case before a jury, presenting your story in compelling ways that overcome common prejudices.
Why Act Quickly After a Motorcycle Crash
The moments following your crash start a countdown that can make or break your case. Physical evidence can disappear almost immediately—skid marks fade, vehicles get moved, and road conditions change. When you wait too long, witnesses’ memories blur, making their accounts less reliable and less helpful to your case. Additionally, each state has a statute of limitations that limits the amount of time you have to pursue a claim—so it is important to act quickly and seek legal help as soon as possible.
