McShane & Brady: Motorcycle Injury Attorneys

Motorcycles offer an exciting way to experience the open road in a way that can hardly be matched by driving a car. They’re fun and economical, but they do carry risks. While drivers and passengers in cars have airbags and seatbelts to protect them, motorcycle riders have relatively little crash protection.

Motorcycle safety is important and taking the proper precautions can reduce risks. But motorcycle accidents happen. When a car or a truck collides with a motorcycle, the occupants in the car or truck may walk away without a scratch. Motorcycle riders are rarely so lucky. Often, they face severe and debilitating injuries or possibly even death.

In cases involving motorcycle accidents, the insurance companies often blame the victim. They assume that the rider was being reckless or negligent and that he or she is to blame for his or her own injuries. Of course, this assumption is often severely misguided. Motorcycle accidents are frequently the result of other drivers’ mistakes. From driving under the influence to texting and using social media behind the wheel, drivers routinely make mistakes that put motorcycle riders’ lives at risk.
