Motorcycle Accidents

Morgantown, West Virginia, Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are 34 times more likely to be killed in a motor vehicle accident than those occupying cars or trucks. This statistic can be attributed to many causes, including a relative lack of safety features (i.e., airbags, protective cages and seatbelts). In fact, even with proper safety gear, motorcyclists can still suffer incredibly serious injuries due to impact with another vehicle or the road.

Investigating the Cause of Your Motorcycle Accident

Our attorneys regularly work with accident reconstructionists and other experts to determine how the accident occurred and who may be held liable for damages. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Drivers failing to see motorcyclists or failing to yield the right of way
• Drivers following a motorcyclist too closely
• Defective bike parts, including tires or brakes
• Unsafe road conditions

Once the cause of the accident is determined, our legal team can begin to build a solid case against the negligent party.

Injuries Resulting from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accident victims often require lengthy hospitalization, numerous surgeries, physical and psychological therapy, and vocational rehabilitation. These costs can quickly become overwhelming, making it necessary to seek legal representation.
