Motorcycle accidents have a reputation for being some of the deadliest accidents. Motorcycles offer little protection to riders in the event of an accident, therefore the injuries are often severe requiring long recovery periods. Usually, motorcycle accidents are not the biker’s fault. The Malaise Law firm understands the effect a serious injury can have on a person and their entire family. Lost wages and medical bills can mount quickly leaving the victim feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. Our Law firm can help you get the compensation you rightfully deserve for your injuries, giving you peace of mind during a stressful time.

Due to the size difference between a motorcycle and passenger vehicle, motorcycles are harder to see and are frequently lost in the passenger vehicle’s “blind spot.” Due to this fact biker’s are often sideswiped by vehicles that simply did not see them. Some shocking statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that motorcyclists are 32 times more likely to die in an accident than passenger vehicle occupants, and 6 times more likely to suffer injuries. It is important to remember that biker’s are entitled to compensation for injuries due to someone else’s negligence as well as passenger vehicle drivers. The Malaise Law firm can get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident it is important to remember the following things:
- Report the accident to police. The police report is helpful to your auto accident injury lawyer in determining fault.
- Record the names and statements of witnesses to your accident. Take pictures and record any unusual circumstances or weather that may have contributed to the accident. This will be especially useful should your case go to court.
- Do not speak with any insurance agents or adjusters that may show up at the scene. This is an unscrupulous tactic sometimes used to get people to admit fault or say something that could hurt their claim.
- Call YOUR insurance company to report the accident. Do not speak with the at fault party’s insurance carrier. Let your auto accident injury lawyer deal with them.
- If you are injured, see a doctor. It is a good idea to get checked out even if you feel you weren’t seriously injured. Some brain injuries do not show up right away and insurance companies may be reluctant to pay for an injury later on.
- Contact a motorcycle accident injury lawyer as soon as possible.
