Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents poses serious risks and motorcyclists are at greater danger of injury and death than in other types of accidents. In fact, roughly 80% of motorcycle accidents result in serious injury or death, whereas the same is true for only 20% of auto accidents. Each year, there are over 50,000 injuries and 3,000 fatalities caused by motorcycle accidents in this country. Even though motorcyclists face the prejudice of insurance companies and law enforcement, negligent drivers are the actual cause of a majority of motorcycle accidents. Some other common causes of motorcycle accidents include defective roadway conditions and manufacturing defects in the motorcycle itself.

When motorcycle accidents occur, the results are often tragic. These injuries can be very serious, including brain or spinal cord injury, broken limbs, dismemberment or amputation, road rash and death. Since motorcycle accidents tend to have such serious consequences, medical expenses and rehabilitation costs are usually extremely high. Furthermore, survivors of motorcycle accidents may also face loss of wages or job, permanent disability, distress and other serious hardships. Therefore, it is very important to have a skilled attorney protect your legal interests. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, please consult with an experienced lawyer immediately. At the Law Office of Thomas L.
