Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Beaverton

There aren’t many vehicles on the road that can match the thrill of riding a motorcycle. The motorcyclist is completely exposed to the environment on the open road and can see everything around them. Unfortunately, other motorists may fail to see a motorcyclist, and that’s often when an accident occurs.

When a negligent driver in a passenger vehicle collides with a motorcyclist, the results can be catastrophic or even fatal. Unlike a motor vehicle collision that involves two passenger vehicles, a crash that involves a motorcycle involves two impacts for the accident victim on two wheels. First, the motorcyclist is hit by the passenger vehicle, and then, second, the road or another structure. Because of the severity of a motorcyclist accident, the accident victim may never completely heal from the serious injuries they suffered as a result of the accident.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, our team of motorcycle accident lawyers in Beaverton at Bridge City Law will guide you through the complexity of the personal injury claims process. Our attorneys are familiar with the challenges that can arise from this type of collision, and we’re also aware of the biases many insurance companies have against motorcycle riders. We also understand the physical and emotional toll this type of crash can have on every aspect of your life, and we’ll stand by your side and provide the type of care, support, and legal guidance you need during this challenging time.

Accident Case

It’s the legal duty of every driver to be aware of their surroundings at all times and keep a vigilant eye out for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. When a reckless, careless, or negligent motorist fails in that duty, they should be held accountable.

Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t make filing a claim for compensation an easy process. In fact, an insurance company will fight a motorcyclist every step of the way to keep the payout as low as possible or deny the claim altogether. These major insurance companies also have a team of defense attorneys to back them up.

COMPENSATION

In Motorcycle Accident Claims

It’s not possible to accurately estimate the full cost of the damages suffered in a motorcycle accident in the immediate aftermath of a collision. The injured rider will hear from the driver’s insurance carrier shortly after the accident. Insurance company representatives will often ask to record an accident victim’s statement at that time and may even offer a quick lowball settlement. However, you should never speak with an insurance company representative without first talking to a personal injury attorney.

When the legal team at Bridge City Law evaluates a personal injury claim, we will consider many factors to determine the value. Compensation for losses that a motorcycle accident victim may be eligible to receive can include:

  • Past and future medical expenses, including physical therapy costs
  • Loss of income
  • Future income loss due to diminished earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional suffering
  • Loss of companionship

And other accident-related damages.

Our motorcycle law firm will create a full accounting of what a claim is worth by examining the accident victim’s medical bills, repair estimates or replacement costs for the motorcycle, work records, and other evidence.

WRONGFUL DEATH ACTION

  • Funeral costs
  • Burial expenses
  • Medical bills
  • Loss of benefits
  • Loss of future income
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, affection, etc.
  • Property and vehicle maintenance

COMMON QUESTIONS

in a Motorcycle Accident

WHAT ARE THE COMMON CAUSES OF BEAVERTON MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS?

Other drivers often overlook motorcyclists because they’re smaller than passenger vehicles. A driver turning into the path of a motorcycle is the leading cause of accidents. In other cases, drivers expect the lighter, smaller bike to brake in time to prevent an accident.

Some of the common causes of motorcycle crashes include:

  • Inclement weather that causes slick or icy roads
  • Debris in the road
  • Distracted driving
  • Drunk drinking
  • Fatigued driving
  • Aggressive driving
WHAT ARE COMMON MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT INJURIES?

A motorcycle wreck can result in many serious motorcycle injuries. If you suffered a catastrophic injury, such as a spinal injury, brain injury, fracture, or another type of serious injury due to the negligence of another driver, we can help.

Typical injuries that may occur in a motorcycle accident can include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Brain damage
  • Head Trauma
  • Herniated discs
  • Back injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Road rash
  • Loss of limbs
  • Burns
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Foot injuries
  • Knee injuries
  • Internal injuries
  • Internal bleeding

WHAT MAKES A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT INSURANCE CLAIM UNIQUE?

A motorcycle collision can happen in an instant, and in that instant, your entire life can be turned upside down. While the insurance claims process for a motorcycle accident claim is similar to the process followed after a passenger vehicle accident, the motorcyclist can find it more challenging to obtain the compensation they deserve due to a bias most insurance companies have concerning motorcyclists. An insurance adjuster may wrongly believe that a rider is a risk-taker or daredevil. The reality is a motorcyclist often takes the time to undergo proper training and is well aware of the risks associated with riding.

When it comes time to file a claim, a motorcyclist would benefit from having an experienced motorcycle accident attorney on their side to handle the challenging negotiations process and interactions with insurance adjusters who may give a motorcycle rider a hard time. For example, an insurance adjuster may ask the accident victim if they were wearing a motorcycle helmet at the time of the accident. If the motorcyclist suffered a head injury and they were not wearing a helmet, the insurance adjuster may try to place the blame on the motorcyclist. However, there are situations where not wearing a helmet should not impact a claim. For example, if the motorcyclist sustained leg injuries or internal organ damage and they were not wearing a helmet, their choice to not wear a helmet in this scenario would not have an impact on their claim.

At Bridge City Law, we understand the unique challenges and biases that motorcycle riders can face when they’re seeking compensation.
