Most riders in these cases were doing everything right. The driver turned left, or changed lanes, and never saw them.
Personal Injury · Accidents
There is a stubborn assumption that a motorcyclist involved in a crash must have been speeding or weaving. Insurers know it and lean on it, because every point of blame they move onto the rider comes off what they pay — and past 50% it pays nothing at all. Handling a rider's case means taking that assumption apart with evidence rather than arguing about it.
We collect the crash report, scene and vehicle photographs, traffic and business camera footage, and independent witnesses — often the most valuable evidence, since a driver who did not see the bike before impact is not a reliable narrator afterwards. Where the mechanics of the collision are contested, an accident reconstruction expert works from the damage, the rest position and the roadway itself.
A rider has no cage, no airbag and no crumple zone. The same impact that dents a bumper produces road rash requiring grafts, open fractures, spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries. The claim has to be built on what the injury means over a lifetime — surgeries still ahead, hardware that will need revision, work the rider cannot go back to — not on the bills that happen to have arrived by the time the adjuster wants to close the file.
Injury cases are handled on a contingency fee: nothing to talk to us, nothing upfront, and the firm is paid out of the recovery. If there is no recovery there is no fee. The percentage and how case expenses are handled are in writing before you sign anything.
They start with a bias against the rider, which insurers exploit. That is a reason to build the case on evidence early rather than to expect fairness by default.
It is usually a failure to look rather than a fact about your riding, and sight-line analysis, camera footage and the physical damage tend to show it.
No. It is an issue the other side will raise, and how much it matters depends on your injuries and the facts. It is worth discussing with us directly.
Road rash requiring grafts, open fractures, spinal injuries and head injuries — harm that has to be valued over a lifetime rather than by the bills received so far.
Yes. Motorcycle valuations are frequently low because condition and aftermarket parts are ignored, so document what was on the bike.
Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may carry the claim. It is one of the first things we check.
What matters is what you were actually doing and what the law required at that moment. Assumptions about riders are not evidence.
No. In rider cases especially, early recorded statements are used to build a comparative fault argument against you.
Immediately. Intersection footage is short-lived, and witnesses to a motorcycle crash are often the only people who saw what really happened.
Nothing upfront. These are contingency fee cases, with the fee and expenses agreed in writing before anything is signed.
