With Spring here and Summer just around the corner we are about to see an increasing number of motorcyclists on the roads, ourselves included! Unfortunately the nice weather and increasing motorcyclists also means we will be seeing and hearing about motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle accidents are not the same as passenger vehicle accidents. For starters, motorcycle accidents usually cause much more serious, even catastrophic injuries than most passenger vehicle accidents. As a result the accumulation of medical expense and long-term care expenses are very high, making the need for compensation imperative for the victim to get better and stay healthy.
Motorcyclists also face a hurdle in the legal system due to an unfair bias placed against them. We’ve discussed this bias numerous times. A few irresponsible and reckless motorcyclists give all of us a bad rap. Overcoming this bias and proving that an accident was not your fault is difficult, especially if the case is taken to trial.
These are just a couple differences between motorcycle accidents and passenger vehicle accidents. Just as the type of accident differs, so should the attorney who handles these cases. Our firm is fortunate enough to have attorneys well versed and experienced in passenger vehicle accidents, commercial vehicle accidents, and motorcycle accidents.
Hiring an attorney for your motorcycle accident is a difficult choice, but the first thing you should look for is an attorney who knows the difference between the different types of accidents and how to handle them each respectively. Our motorcycle accident attorneys know and understand that overcoming the bias placed against motorcyclists will be one of the more difficult parts of the case and we know how to do this. We understand that this bias is false, and that most motorcyclists are just as good, if not better, drivers as those in normal passenger vehicles.
