Skilled, Tenacious Representation for People Injured in Motorcycle Accidents
Of the many types of traffic accidents, motorcycle crashes most often result in serious injuries or death. In fact, injuries are reported in approximately 98% of all motorcycle accidents, and the victims are overwhelmingly the riders themselves. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a motorcycle rider is eight times more likely to be injured and 37 times more likely to die in a motorcycle accident than the occupant of a car in an automobile accident.

Common Injuries and Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
In many two-vehicle motorcycle accidents, negligent and inattentive drivers are to blame. Typical crash scenarios include the following factors:
- Improper turns by other drivers
- Drunk driving and driving after using illegal drugs
- Drowsy and fatigued drivers of trucks and other vehicles
- Distracted driving, including eating, drinking, manipulating radio dials, grooming or using cellphones
- Failure to keep a lookout for motorcyclists
- Driving too close to motorcyclists and passing without leaving a buffer
Injuries can range from road rash and broken bones to traumatic brain injury and paralysis. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, one or more parties may be held liable for injuries. In each case, the firm conducts a thorough investigation and gathers the necessary evidence to prove fault and to help you recover compensation.
