3 Reasons Motorcycle Accident Victims Should Hire an Attorney Who Understands Motorcycle Liability

June 3, 2015

motorcycle accidentLet’s face it, being in an accident sucks, but it is even worse if you’re driving (or riding on) a motorcycle at the time. Getting into an accident while on a motorcycle increases the risk of severe injury and often has a longer recovery time than a car accident.

If you’re involved in an accident while on a motorcycle, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is going to a general personal injury attorney. Rather, what you really need is an attorney who has specialized knowledge of and experience with motorcycle accident cases.

Moreover, you should seek the assistance of a motorcycle accident attorney because biker victims can face issues that regular auto accident victims do not. See what we mean below…

  1. Prejudice
    Unfortunately, those involved in motorcycle accidents are unfairly typecast. Many people assume that all motorcycle drivers are reckless, which can cause jurors to unfairly rule against them despite the evidence. Attorneys experienced with motorcycle accidents can help filter out these prejudiced jurors and give their client a fair shot.

  1. Understanding
    Those involved in the settlement decisions should understand how motorcycles operate. Most people on a jury will not know how motorcycles work or handle, nor how a driver needs to react in a given situation. An attorney who is able to convey these factors is a must if the case goes to court.

  1. Injuries
    Typically, the injuries suffered during a motorcycle accident are more severe than a regular accident. Road rash is a good example of this. Not only are motorcyclists injured more seriously in the event of an accident, but it can take an experienced attorney to get their client the compensation they require to fully recover.
