Motorcycle Accidents
Why You Need Legal Help After a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents can lead to serious injuries, and sometimes even death. Because motorcyclists are more exposed than people in cars, they’re at a higher risk of getting hurt in a crash. In fact, in 2023, 6,335 motorcyclists lost their lives in traffic accidents, which made up 15% of all traffic deaths.
If you or someone you care about has been in a motorcycle accident, it’s really important to have an experienced lawyer on your side. They’ll help protect your rights and make sure you get the compensation you deserve. At Lowe Injury Law, we specialize in supporting motorcycle accident victims and guiding them through the legal process.
The Risks Motorcyclists Face on the Road
Motorcyclists face a lot of risks that other drivers don’t have to deal with. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents are:
- Driver Negligence: Sometimes, drivers of cars and trucks don’t see motorcycles on the road. This can lead to accidents because they fail to yield or are distracted while driving.
- Poor Road Conditions: Things like potholes, bumpy roads, or missing signs can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists.
- Motorcycle Defects: Sometimes, problems with the bike itself, like faulty parts or issues from the manufacturer, can cause crashes.
- Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, or ice make roads slippery, which is even riskier for motorcyclists. Motorcycles are harder to control when the weather’s bad.
Common Injuries and Their Long-Term Impact
Motorcycle accidents can lead to very serious injuries. Here are some of the most common injuries motorcyclists may suffer:
Fractures and Broken Bones:
When a rider crashes, hitting the ground or another vehicle, can cause broken bones that need a lot of treatment and time to heal.
Head and Brain Injuries:
Even with a helmet, motorcyclists are at a higher risk for brain injuries. These injuries can affect memory, thinking, and movement, and sometimes have long-lasting effects.
Spinal Cord Injuries:
Injuries to the spine can cause paralysis, either partial or complete, and usually require long-term medical care and therapy.
Road Rash:
When a motorcyclist slides on the pavement, they can get painful skin abrasions that take a long time to heal.

Fatalities:
Sadly, some motorcycle accidents result in deaths. When this happens, the family of the victim may be able to file a wrongful death claim.
How to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim
If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, the first thing you should do is get checked out by a doctor, even if you feel okay. Sometimes, your body’s adrenaline can hide pain or injuries, so it’s always a good idea to get a professional opinion to make sure everything is alright.
Once you’ve seen a doctor, here are the next steps you should take:
- Document the Scene: If you’re able to, take clear photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damage to your motorcycle. This evidence can be really helpful later on when you file your claim
- File a Police Report: You’ll want to file a police report about the accident. This report will give an official record of what happened, and it can be a key piece of evidence when it’s time to make your claim
- Speak to a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer: Get in touch with an attorney as soon as possible. They will listen to your story and guide you through each step of the process. A lawyer will make sure you understand your options and protect your rights
- Investigate and Prove Liability: Your lawyer will look into who was at fault for the accident, gather the evidence you need, and build a strong case that shows negligence on the part of the responsible party
- Work with Insurance Companies: We know dealing with insurance companies can be tough. That’s why letting your lawyer handle all the negotiations for you is a must. The goal is to make sure you get the compensation you deserve and fight for you every step of the way.
