Motorcycle Accidents

Standing Up for Injured Riders

Motorcycle riders face greater risks than other drivers, often due to the inattention of others on the road. When a crash happens, injuries are often severe, and insurance companies may try to blame the rider unfairly. We know how to fight back.

  • Drivers failing to check blind spots
  • Lane-splitting incidents
  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Dangerous road conditions

Frequently Asked Questions 

  • Can I recover damages if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
    Helmet laws vary, but lack of a helmet does not bar recovery in many cases.

  • Will the insurance company treat me fairly?
    Often, no. Insurers stereotype riders as reckless. We fight those biases head-on.
