If you have been hurt or injured while on a motorcycle, then speak with our Motorcycle accident lawyer about legal representation options and compensation for your injuries.
Motorcycle Injury
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in fatalities and injuries to bike riders.This is mainly due to the design of motorbikes, which leave riders open to all the elements. There is next to no protection on a bike compared to a car, which means that any accident on a bike can result in serious injuries. There isn’t an enclosed area on the bike that offers protection, and motorcyclists understand the risks that come with sharing the road with other drivers.
The motorcycle accident lawyers, at the Moore Law Firm, are familiar with the threats and problems faced by motorcycle riders. They know that bike riders are at great risk if they get into an accident with other riders and know that you need legal representation after any accident.

Your need for an experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
A new report released by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), a non-profit organization that represents the state highway safety offices, revealed motorcycle accident statistics of the past year. There were 5,000 people killed on motorcycles in 2017 – 300 less than the number in 2016. This is good news, as the lives saved showed a 5.6% decrease. But, motorcyclists were still heavily overrepresented in total traffic deaths.
This is because motorcyclists have 28 times more chance of fatalities in accidents, than passengers of other vehicles, based on per mile driven.

Common motorcycle accidents
Most of the times motorcycle riders have no idea how their accident took place, which could be because the accident was caused by another vehicle. The statistics back that claim, as most motorcycle accidents involve carelessness or negligence of the other driver. The common causes of motorcycle accidents involving other drivers occurred because of the following:
- Ignoring posted speed limits
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Tailgating (when a vehicle is driven too closely behind a motorcycle)
- Doing reckless moves like abrupt lane change
- Lack of attention while driving the vehicle (talking on the phone, making videos, sending texts etc.)
- Turning left without looking and crashing head-on into a motorcyclist
Motorcycle accidents can happen for numerous reasons, and if your accident was caused by one of the instances mentioned above, it is imperative that you know this, but the circumstances that revolve around every accident are different. This is the reason our motorcycle injury lawyers want to meet with you and learn important details about your motorcycle crash when it occurs.
Common motorcycle injuries
One of the main reasons for riding motorcycles is the sense of freedom it offers bikers, but that comes at the cost of limited protection offered by the vehicle. The design of motorbikes mean that even low-speed collisions can cause serious injuries for motorcyclists. The most common injuries suffered by riders in motorcycle accidents were as follows:
- Brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Contusions and lacerations
- Head and facial injuries
- Injuries to the hands and feet
- Internal injuries
- Psychological injuries
- Spinal cord and nervous system injuries

Factors in Determining Compensation
There are several factors in play when determining financial compensation after a motorcycle accident. The most important to remember for people is that insurance companies will try their hardest not to lose money, which is why they will try to settle for the small amount they can. They will either try to prove that you were at fault in the accident, which means you must settle for less money than you deserve. This is where experienced motorcycle accident lawyers come in to play.
Even if you were at fault for causing the accident, you can still collect a large amount of settlement, so before you make any decisions get in touch with a motorcycle accident lawyer. The lawyer will review the options available to you, offer advice, and explain what you can expect. They will also discuss the various factors involved in determining your compensation, which include the following:
- Pain and Suffering
- Medical and Rehab Expenses
- Loss of income
- Loss of quality of life
- Disability or disfigurement
- Punitive damages
