Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable users of our roads. 98% of motorcycle accidents result in injury to the motorcyclist involved. And 66% of all motorcycle accidents occur due to the motorcyclist’s right of way being violated by another vehicle.

This means that if you’ve been involved in an accident where you were riding a motorcycle and there was another vehicle involved, you might have a legal claim. This even includes accidents when there was no contact made between the motorcycle and the vehicle at fault. Many times a vehicle will violate the motorcyclist’s right of way without making contact with the motorcycle, forcing the motorcyclist to swerve and crash. Motorcyclists can still be owed compensation in situations where a motorcyclist crashes while trying to avoid contact with a negligent driver.

Motorcycle accidents can result in significant injuries such as fractures and shattered bones to severe injuries that can change your entire life like traumatic brain injuries. In brain injury cases especially, it is important to not only hire an experienced motorcycle attorney but also one with a strong background in traumatic brain injuries.

Beyond paying for any injuries you may have sustained, you may be entitled to compensation for the following.

• Vehicle damage
• Permanent disability
• Lost wages from work
• Rehabilitation
• Punitive damages
• Pain and suffering
• Psychological treatment and counseling
