Recent Review:
“Working with Nick turned what could’ve been the absolute worst situation into the best experience I could have under given circumstances. Nick was attentive and responsive to my thoughts and I truly felt heard and cared for during the entire process. Working through any legality issue or any kind of accident case at all can be a huge headache – but working with Nick really helped ease some of the stress. Thank you so much, Nick! I appreciate all the hard work and heart you put forward.”

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Drivers do not always know how to share the road with motorcyclists, nor do they try in many circumstances. Whether it is due to carelessness, or their own desire to do what they want, drivers can seriously injure motorcyclists. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Illegal left-hand turns, where the driver cuts across the motorcyclist’s lane
- Failure to check blind spots, causing the motorcyclist to get knocked off their bike when they are sideswiped (drivers often struggle to see bikers, since they are not on the same eye level as the rider)
- Distracted driving, resulting in the driver not seeing the motorcyclist
- Reckless driving, which can cause the driver to lose control or not see others on the road
Why Motorcycle Accident Injures Are Worse
There is little to nothing that can protect a motorcyclist from serious injury in a crash. Motorcyclists will suffer injuries in nearly three-quarters of crashes. Even if they are wearing a helmet and safety gear, there is still a high chance that a motorcyclist will not walk away from a crash unscathed.
Then, the car may make direct contact with the motorcyclist because there is no protection on the bike. A motorcyclist is often thrown from their bike to the hard pavement, making their injuries even worse.
How Much Is My Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?
It is hard for a motorcycle accident lawyer to give you a precise and direct answer about how much your case may be worth without knowing more details about you and your specific situation. The fact is that motorcycle accident damages depend entirely on you and how you have been affected by your injuries. Of course, your compensation may also depend on the amount of insurance coverage that the driver had, along with the amount of underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy.
Your motorcycle accident damages could include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Emotional distress
The average motorcycle accident settlement may be worth more than other types of personal injury cases because of the severity of the injuries that you have suffered. Your motorcycle accident attorney could closely review your case to help you learn how much you may be due.
Challenges in a Motorcycle Accident Case
Before you can even qualify for financial compensation, you must prove that the driver involved in the crash was negligent. You need evidence that shows what they did, and you need to demonstrate that they fell short of their own duty of care. It can be tough to gather evidence on your own, especially when you were injured at the scene of the crash.
Then, the motorcyclist may be blamed for their own injuries. There is a perception that motorcyclists are riskier than the average person, and that comes into play when you file a claim. While you may still receive compensation if you were partially to blame for the crash, the amount that you may get would be reduced by the percentage of fault you bear. Your motorcycle accident lawyer may need to defend your actions every bit as much as they try to prove that the other driver was at fault.
