You may have noticed more motorcycles on the roads in the past 10 years. The number of motorcyclists has doubled in the last decade.
As you can imagine, the number of motorcycle accidents has also increased proportionately.
The simple fact is that motorists driving cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles don’t look out for those on motorcycles.
More alarming than the number of accidents is the number of rider deaths and injuries from these accidents. In a single year, over 400 motorcyclists died. Over 2 thousand suffered incapacitating injuries.

It can be difficult to know what to do after an accident. Often, you’re looking for answers while under duress. Insurance companies know this and try to press you. Don’t let them. Instead:
If you’re able to after the crash, use your phone to document everything that’s relevant. You can’t have too much evidence in a court case. Photograph everything, get contact information from potential witnesses, and then keep all of it.
Even if you don’t have visible injuries, go to a doctor. If you do have visible injuries, go to the emergency room. Make sure to keep all of your medical records after the accident. These can be used in your case.
Even if you think insurance will cover all the costs associated with your accident–and there’s never a guarantee they will–it’s in your best interest to speak with a personal injury attorney. They’ll help you determine if you have a case or need to pursue a personal injury claim.
Insurance companies can and will use anything you tell them to rule against your claim, lower their payout, or otherwise protect themselves from losing money. Direct them to speak with your lawyer, and let us help protect your interests.
