Personal Injury Attorneys – Motorcycle Accidents

There’s nothing quite like hitting the open road on your motorcycle. The feeling of the wind through your hair and the power between your legs is truly unlike anything else. Sadly, this freedom comes with a price, especially if you are struck by a vehicle. In almost all cases, the motorcyclist comes away with serious injuries that require years of treatment. If you have been injured while riding your motorcycle, you need an experienced motorcycle accident attorney.

While motorcyclists make up a small number of vehicles on the roadway, their accidents account for 40% of traffic fatalities since 1998. Because of the severity of these injuries, it is important to speak to a motorcycle accident right away. The attorney will make sure that you can see a doctor, that you are getting the medical care you need, and that your case is proceeding as quickly as possible. They will also make sure that evidence is being gathered and preserved to bolster your claim against the driver. This can help maximize your recovery amount and ensure you get the money you need to treat your injury and make up for missed work.

One major issue that needs to be overcome is that people see bikers as inherent risk-takers. A biker may be seen as reckless or as someone who doesn’t follow the law. In actuality, most motorcycle accidents are caused by vehicle. Motorcyclists often go out of their way to avoid accidents and are some of the safest drivers on the road. An attorney familiar with these accidents can get over this hurdle relatively easily and prove that the biker in question was not breaking any laws.

Some common reasons drivers cause these accidents can include:

Inattentive driving
Drunk driving
Texting while driving
Reckless driving

Working with an attorney experienced in motorcycle accidents means that a proper investigation will be done to prove your case. For instance, motorcycle accident attorneys know how to subpoena phone records to find any phone calls or text messages that may have been sent immediately before or during the accident. Trying to prove your case on your own may miss important evidence such as this, so it is important to work with a lawyer right away in order to make sure that nothing is missed.
