Get Help From a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

A motorcycle accident lawyer can help you if you have been injured, or if you have lost a loved one, in a wreck caused by another person.  Motorcycles are less visible which contributes to motorcycles often being involved accidents. Most people become so accustomed to driving near and seeing other full-sized vehicles, they do not notice or remind themselves to look for less noticeable vehicles like motorcycles. Since protection to motorcycle riders is also limited, those motorcycle riders that are hit are more likely to be killed or injured. One group estimated that in 2013 the likelihood of dying as a result of a wreck was 25 times greater for motorcycle riders than for drivers of regular vehicles.
With such statistics, sadly, it is likely that someone you know will be fatally injured while operating a motorcycle. If you or a loved one has been injured while operating on your motorcycle due to the negligence of another driver, a motorcycle accident lawyer can help. There are many factors to consider and address in a motorcycle accident claim, and we can help you gather the information you need and organize it to best prepare your case.
You should consider seeking out the help of a motorcycle accident lawyer if:

• If the accident happened because the other driver was negligent, reckless, careless, violating a traffic law (e.g. speeding, failing to stop/yield), drunk or under the influence of alcohol, distracted (e.g. using their phone, texting, etc.), inexperienced,
• If the accident happened due to poor workmanship at a repair ship, or if your motorcycle had faulty factory components.
• The other driver did not have legitimate insurance, meaning that you may have to submit an “uninsured motorist” claim to your own insurance company.   

In many accidents, the person who hit you was breaking a traffic law or driving negligently. When the other driver fails to comply with a traffic law, he/she is negligent.
