A motorcycle accident causing serious injury presents a number of legal challenges, including the following:
- Injuries are often severe: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, road rash and amputation are common.
- Drivers of automobiles and trucks whose vehicles struck and injured motorcyclists often say, "I didn't see the motorcycle," even when the motorcycle was legally traveling in traffic just like other vehicles. Negligence on the part of the other motorist may be more challenging to prove than in the case of a car-car or car-truck accident.
- Insurance claims adjusters, judges and juries may be biased against motorcyclists, believing that they have asked for trouble by riding a motorcycle at all — an activity that these people consider inherently dangerous and risky. "You assumed the risk," they may think, or say.
Facing any one of these challenges is beyond the scope of what most motorcyclists or their families can face on their own. An experienced personal injury attorney can help maximize the value of a claim for compensation through application of skills and strategies that have proven successful in other similar cases.
