Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Dangerous

Motorcyclists have way less protection than drivers in cars. And the numbers prove it.

​

  • 27x more likely to die in a crash than car drivers (NHTSA)

  • Over 5,000 motorcyclist deaths every year

  • Thousands suffer life-altering injuries—brain trauma, spinal damage, broken bones

​

Even when riders do everything right, accidents still happen. Most crashes aren’t the rider’s fault—they’re caused by careless drivers or bad road conditions.

Top Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Driver Inattention

Many drivers simply

don’t see motorcycles until it’s too late

Speeding

High speeds = less reaction time = deadlier crashes

Drunk Driving

Alcohol-related crashes kill hundreds of motorcyclists every year

Poor Road Conditions

Potholes, slick pavement, and road debris are deadly for riders

Lack of Safety Gear

Helmets and proper gear reduce injury risks—but not all riders use them

If another driver’s negligence caused your crash, you deserve compensation.

But the insurance company won’t just hand it over—they’ll fight to pay you as little as possible.

This is why you need a lawyer who knows how to fight back.

Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Think you can handle your claim alone? Big mistake.

 

Here’s why:

 

They Investigate & Prove Fault

  • Reconstruct the accident with expert analysis

  • Gather dashcam footage, witness statements & police reports

  • Expose the truth—was the driver distracted, speeding, or negligent?

 

They Fight Insurance Companies

  • Insurers love to lowball motorcycle accident victims—your lawyer won’t let that happen

  • They negotiate for max compensation—so you get what you actually deserve

  • If they won’t settle? Your attorney takes them to court

 

They Handle ALL the Legal Work

  • File your claim the right way—so you don’t miss deadlines

  • Deal with complex legal procedures—so you don’t have to

  • Keep you updated every step of the way

​

And the best part? Most attorneys work on contingency—meaning you pay NOTHING upfront.

The Legal Process:
What Happens Next?

  1. Free Consultation – Your lawyer reviews your case (no obligation).

Case Study:
How Legal Help Makes a Difference

Johnson v. Big Insurance Co.

 

A motorcyclist was t-boned by a distracted driver.


The insurance company offered a $20,000 lowball settlement.


With an experienced attorney, Johnson won a $750,000 payout covering medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

​

Moral of the story? Having the right attorney can turn a small offer into life-changing compensation.
