Motorcycle Accidents
Your motorcycle accident case will be our top priority
It is plain to anyone that riding a motorcycle carries its own unique injury risks. From susceptibility to road and weather conditions to lack of collision protection, there are many causes of motorcycle accidents that are specific to riders. Motorcycle passengers are especially vulnerable, having no ability to protect against potential harm the way a car passenger can "buckle up."
Insurance companies and motorcycle accidents
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are about 18 times more likely than auto occupants to die from a motorcycle accident and about three times more likely to be injured. Even the most responsible and cautious rider is at the mercy of other motorists, particularly those behaving irresponsibly, such as texting while driving or drunk driving.
Typically, insurance companies will attempt to prove that the motorcyclist was, to some extent, at fault in the accident. This makes a prompt investigation is essential.
