TRUSTED MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS ATTORNEYS
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over the last handful of years, more than 80,000 motorcyclists are injured every year while riding, and over 5,000 per year lose their lives. We know that most of these incidents are caused by drivers who violate the rules of the road and do not take into consideration the presence of motorcycles. We also know that sometimes those responsible for maintaining safe roads fail to do so, and such failures often cause injuries to riders
Despite the bias that society sometimes holds against those who ride, we have advocated for our clients injured due to the negligence of others. For instance, we obtained a $6,000,000 settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury when his Harley crashed after coming into contact with a defect in the road. In another case, we obtained a verdict for $2,860,000 when a careless driver pulled out from a shopping mall hitting our client and injuring his leg.
