Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Motorcycles are exhilarating! There are few things as fun and exciting as riding a motorcycle on an open road. Unfortunately, despite the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) urging of all motorists to “share the road” with motorcycles and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe, the number of motorcycle accidents and fatalities is ever increasing. Furthermore, the NHTSA’s statistics show that the percentage of intoxicated motorcycle riders in fatal crashes is greater than the percentage of intoxicated drivers on our roads. This is why the NHTSA urges all motorcycle riders to always ride smart and sober.
Despite implementing basic motorcycle safety precautions, such as wearing helmet protection and making themselves visible to other motorists, motorcyclists still may be involved in accidents that have the potential to be life-threatening or with catastrophic injuries. These problems can be compounded by exorbitant medical bills, disability from employment, and insurance companies that refuse to negotiate the accident in good faith. When other motorists negligently or deliberately fail to “share the road” with motorcyclists, they should he held legally responsible for the injuries, pain, suffering, embarrassment, humiliation and financial loss that they cause.

For example, in 2012, Charles Law Offices represented the estate of a motorcyclist falsely accused of traveling more than 125 miles per hour immediately prior to a fatal collision with a tractor-trailer. The insurance company representing the negligent tractor-trailer driver refused to negotiate in good faith or to adequately compensate the deceased motorcyclist’s family. Charles Law Offices thoroughly investigated the case, established the negligence of the tractor-trailer driver in causing the crash, and secured a million dollar award for the deceased motorcyclist’s family.
