Motorcycle crashes
Motorcycle crashes, without the blame riders get
Riders get hurt worse and blamed faster. I take that on from the first call.
A driver says they never saw you. An adjuster suggests you were speeding because you were on a bike. I hear it often, and I answer it with the evidence: the scene, the damage, witnesses, and the turning driver's own words. While I build the claim, you get to focus on healing, which after a motorcycle crash can take a long time.
What we look at in a motorcycle case
Riders' injuries and losses are often larger, so the claim needs to see all of them.
Long recoveries
Broken bones, road rash, surgeries and months of therapy, counted in full.
Time away from work
Lost pay now, and lower earnings later if you can't go back to the same job.
Your gear and bike
The motorcycle, your helmet, jacket and boots: gear is property too.
Who was really at fault
Sight lines, the turning lane, skid marks and statements, gathered early.
Questions riders ask me
I wasn't wearing a helmet. Can I still bring a claim?
Usually, yes. Whether you wore a helmet doesn't decide who caused the crash. The insurer may argue it affected your injuries, and I'll talk through what that could mean for your case.
The driver says they didn't see me. Does that help them?
Not seeing a rider who was there to be seen is usually the driver's problem, not yours. We'll gather what shows where you were and how visible you were.
My bike is at a tow yard. What do I do?
Take photos of it if you can and don't let it be scrapped before it's inspected. Call me and we'll arrange it.
Call me while the details are still fresh
The first conversation is free. You pay no attorney's fee unless money is recovered for you. Case costs, like medical records, filing fees and expert reports, are paid back from the recovery after the fee; if nothing is recovered, you owe neither.
