The Unique Challenges Related to Motorcycle Accidents

Why You Need an Experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney

How Motorcycle Accidents Are Different

There are many factors that make successfully litigating motorcycle injury claims difficult:

• The injuries are typically more serious — Because you’re without much protection, the risk of serious injury is significantly greater. Treatment of injuries is often more costly and insurance companies can be less willing to pay or settle these claims.
• Judges and juries can have a bias against bikers — There’s a common perception that motorcyclists are risk takers, which can translate to the belief that the biker somehow brought the accident on himself or got what she deserved. It’s not uncommon for insurance adjusters to look for ways to blame a motorcyclist for injuries caused by the negligence of another driver.
• Courts may not understand basic principles of motorcycle safety — For example, an experienced biker may know that the best option, to minimize the consequences of an accident, is to lay down the bike. A court may wrongly perceive that to be evidence of carelessness or negligence.
