Why Motorcycle Accidents Are Different
Motorcycles do not offer the external protection that cars do. They are also much smaller and lighter, so they receive a disproportionate force of the impact. This means that both drivers and passengers of motorcycles are likely to suffer more severe injuries and even death in a collision. When compared to other motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents present unique challenges and considerations, including:
- More severe injuries
- Complex liability issues
- Higher medical expenses
- Common biases and stereotypes that bikers are reckless and/or responsible for their own injuries
At Cassian & Carter LLC, our attorneys provide you with the necessary resources to aid in your recovery and rebuild your life. They will investigate the accident, collect evidence, and identify and interview witnesses. As lawyers who are focused on and have extensive personal injury law experience, they will anticipate challenges and obstacles and work hard to expedite the process.
Our team has extensive experience with motorcycle accidents. We understand the nature of serious injuries, the different injuries, such as road rash, the healing process and the overall cost of recovery. This means we know how much to pursue in motorcycle accidents.
Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes can occur for various reasons, often involving the following common causes:
- Left-hand turns by other vehicles
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Lane splitting
- Poor road conditions
- Driving under the influence
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Sudden stops
Victims of motorcycle accidents suffer injuries such as:
- Road rash
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures
These severe bodily injuries may lead to high medical bills and financial losses, making it crucial to seek legal representation from a skilled Joliet motorcycle accident lawyer who can fight for your rights and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
Why Should You Hire A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer is essential because:
- They negotiate with insurance companies and adjusters.
- They gather evidence and build a strong case.
- They interpret police reports effectively.
- They determine fault and liability.
It often takes an experienced attorney to compel the insurance companies to provide fair compensation for injuries and losses.
