MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS OVERVIEW

There’s nothing that compares to riding on a motorcycle. Unfortunately, motorcycles offer little protection from other drivers.  They don’t have seat belts or shoulder harnesses and the rider is vulnerable to a direct hit on the legs and hips or being thrown off the bike itself. Motorcycle accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as catastrophic burns, broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.

Experienced motorcycle accident attorneys Jim Schwebel and Paul Godlewski are avid fans of motorcycles, but they realize how serious motorcycle accidents can be.  In most cases, motorcycle collisions happen due to the gross negligence of other drivers. Usually, the other driver fails to see the motorcyclist.  That doesn’t qualify as an excuse under the law in any state.

Motorcycle accidents usually occur due to several hazardous situations, including:

  • Bad weather can impair a motorcyclist’s braking or handling capabilities.  Wet or icy roadways can seriously impair ability to effectively control a bike.
  • Motorcyclists may have difficulty seeing potholes, train tracks, fallen branches or oil spots.  Debris that has fallen from another vehicle can force a biker to weave or brake suddenly.
  • Many motorcyclists are injured when another vehicle takes a left turn in front of them. This is particularly dangerous at intersections with no left turn signals.
  • Windy conditions can make a motorcycle very difficult to control. Even the gusty breezes caused by a passing truck can jerk a motorcycle across the road.
  • Motorcycles sometimes can’t be seen when they’re in a long line of traffic. It’s easy to become invisible when you’re in a vehicle’s blind spot. Collisions occur while changing lanes.

DO NOT RELY ON INSURANCE COMPANIES

Do not accept any claim before you speak with an attorney.  Many large insurance companies have adopted settlement policies that encourage their adjusters to offer quick payments to persons involved in an accident.  Insurance adjusters will contact you or your family shortly after an accident to try to gain your confidence.  In doing so, insurance adjusters often try to present themselves as the friend of the injured person or the family of the person who was killed in an accident.  The goal of such contact is to settle the case on terms as favorable as possible for the insurance company.
