Phoenix Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle accident victims often face an uphill climb after a crash, in more ways than one:
- Their injuries are often more severe than injuries from car accidents.
- Bias against motorcyclists is often a problem as insurance claims adjusters, judges and juries assume the motorcyclist is at fault — despite evidence that a driver of a car or truck struck a motorcycle due to failure to watch out or yield.
- Although motorcycle helmets are only required for riders below age 18 in Arizona, an injury victim's lack of a helmet may fuel further bias against motorcyclists.
The possible causes of motorcycle accidents are as variable as causes of any accident:
- Inattentiveness by drivers of cars and/or motorcyclists
- Road construction and defective road surfaces
- Traffic violations by cars, trucks or buses
- Defective parts of a car or motorcycle
Injuries to motorcyclists may run the gamut from minor to severe:
- Road rash or skin injury
- Broken bones
- Back and neck injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Biker head injury)
- Fatal injuries leading to a wrongful death claim
