Motorcycle Accidents

Personal Injury Attorneys

Motorcycle accidents can happen in the blink of an eye resulting in serious injuries.

Sharing the road with automobiles is a daily hazard that most motorcyclists acknowledge is challenging. Defendant auto drivers often state they simply did not see the motorcycle at the time of collision. This is not a defense nor does it relieve the driver from liability.

No matter the size of the collision, the physical and emotional toll can be enormous. Every accident is unique and every accident is very personal, yet the immediate steps involved after a motorcycle accident are straightforward.

First, address physical needs. An ambulance may be required to take you to the closest emergency room for evaluation and treatment. Injuries such as broken bones and lacerations sustained in a motorcycle accident require immediate attention. Once discharged you may be referred to your personal physician for follow-up care.

The force of a motorcycle accident often renders lasting pain that can take the body a few days to absorb. Victims of cycle accidents report more pain a few days post accident. Bruising, tenderness , headaches, nausea, and irritability are common symptoms. These should all be treated by licensed and experienced medical professionals.

Notify family and friends of your situation and confirm that you are okay. Sharing your trauma often eases your pain and relieves the worry from loved ones.

Second, the property damage to your motorcycle must be repaired or in extreme cases replaced. Autobody shops provide free estimates for repairs.

Third, confirm liability. Police are often called to the scene of serious accidents and will complete a report with the details of the accident. Witnesses can be helpful in confirming what they saw.
