Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road. Unlike occupants of passenger vehicles, riders have little protection in a collision, which means even relatively minor accidents can lead to severe injuries.
Motorcycle accidents are often caused by drivers who fail to see motorcycles, make unsafe lane changes, or turn in front of riders. In many cases, the injured motorcyclist suffers the most serious consequences while the driver of the larger vehicle escapes with minimal injuries.

Motorcycle accidents frequently occur because drivers fail to properly watch for motorcycles. Some of the most common causes include:
drivers turning left in front of motorcycles
unsafe lane changes
distracted driving
speeding
drivers failing to yield
impaired driving
Motorcyclists often have little ability to avoid these collisions once a driver makes a dangerous maneuver.
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries, including:
traumatic brain injuries
spinal cord injuries
broken bones
road rash and severe abrasions
internal injuries
permanent disabilities
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Victims of motorcycle accidents may be entitled to compensation for:
medical bills
lost wages
rehabilitation expenses
future medical care
pain and suffering
permanent disability
Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame to motorcyclists, which makes experienced legal representation important.
