Any traffic accident has the potential to cause serious injury, but motorcyclists are usually at the highest risk of suffering catastrophic trauma. Helmets, boots, and other gear can provide a certain level of protection in the event of a collision, but a rider may still experience significant harm. In fact, motorcyclists are 27 times more likely than other motorists to lose their lives in traffic accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Motorcycle Accident FAQ
-
Q:What should I do after a motorcycle accident?
A:By law, you are required to exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver. You should also seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel that you are not seriously injured. Some motorcycle accident injuries may not be apparent immediately. If left untreated, these injuries can worsen and even cause permanent damage, so we encourage you to seek medical treatment even if you don’t feel injured. We also recommend getting the contact information of any witnesses, taking pictures at the scene, and taking notes. This information can prove to be useful later. If you were seriously injured, calling an attorney is also beneficial. Recovering a fair settlement can be difficult, but a skilled lawyer can represent your interests to seek maximum compensation.
-
Q:What are some common motorcycle injuries?
A:A motorcyclist may be at risk of experiencing the following injuries in an accident: road rash, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, amputation, internal organ damage, leg and foot injuries, broken bones, and facial trauma. The type and severity of an injury will vary depending on the speed of the collision, location of impact, safety gear the motorcyclist was wearing, and more.
-
Q:How can you determine fault in a motorcycle accident?
A:Determining the cause of a motorcycle accident can be complex. We often work with accident reconstruction specialists and investigators to recreate the collision, determining its cause or causes. Physical evidence and witness testimony can help us accurately reconstruct a motorcycle accident.
-
Q:What can I do if a road hazard caused my accident?
A:Some motorcycle accidents are not caused by driver or rider negligence but rather by road hazards. For a motorcyclist, a large pothole or debris in the road may cause a serious accident. In these cases, the municipality or other government entity responsible for road design and maintenance may be held accountable.
