    There is no thrill that can compare to riding a motorcycle. Not only do they offer the incomparable experience of freedom, but they are convenient, fuel-efficient, and cost considerably less to own and maintain in comparison to most other motor vehicles. While there are a notable number of positives attributed to owning a motorcycle, they can come with a price. The moment that you make the decision to ride a motorcycle, your risk of being involved in a catastrophic accident dramatically increases. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, the risk of a motorcyclist being involved in a fatal accident is almost 35 times greater than a person driving a car. Furthermore, the risk of significant injury (even with collisions at slower speeds) is exponentially increased. Though most people that choose to ride a motorcycle make every attempt at being safe, they cannot control the carelessness and/or negligence of other drivers on the road. Due to biases that many people have of motorcycle riders (i.e. thrill-seekers, reckless, joy-riders, etc.) motorcycle accident attorneys across the nation understand that they must work diligently to prove fault in every motorcycle accident case. 

    What Makes Motorcycle Accident Cases Different From Car Accident Case

    Motorcycle accident cases are both similar and entirely different than car accident cases. The process of reporting the accident, filing a claim, etc. are similar. Where they differ the most is the severity of injuries suffered. Listed below are the most poignant differences between motorcycle accident cases and car accident cases. 

    • Motorcyclists suffer more serve injuries and are at a higher risk for fatality 
    • Many motorcycle accidents occur because car drivers don’t see them
    • Those on motorcycles are more susceptible to road and weather hazards
    • There are negative stereotypes of motorcyclist that must be overcome during settlement negotiations and/or trial
    • Settlements can be lowered or denied if the motorcycle rider was not wearing a helmet 

    What to do if You Are in a Motorcycle Accident

    If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, it is imperative that you immediately tend to your health concerns. On the rare occasion that you haven’t suffered obvious injuries, it is still recommended that you seek the opinion of a medical professional. This is because injuries can sometimes be masked by the rush of adrenaline experienced immediately after an accident. If your injury becomes apparent well after the accident has occurred, it can be difficult to prove that it was a result of the accident. If injured, ensure that you make all medical appointments, save all relevant documentation, and document how the injury affects your life. Additionally, contact a motorcycle accident attorney 

    Why Motorcycle Accident Victims Should Work With an Attorney

    If you have suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident due to the negligence of another driver it is in your best interest to connect a proven motorcycle accident attorney to discuss your case. Personal injury claims are not always easy to substantiate; this is especially true of motorcycle accident cases. Furthermore, an adept attorney will have the experience and knowhow to effectively negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. You may find yourself in an untenable position negotiating with the high-powered lawyers and claims adjusters on your own while you are recovering from injuries. Since most attorneys offer a free consultation, you have nothing to lose by at least speaking with them before you make a decision on whether or not you wish to hire legal representation.
