A motorcycle accident can result in serious, life-changing injuries and raise difficult questions about who was responsible for the crash. Because motorcycle riders have less physical protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, even a collision that appears relatively minor can result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, road rash, or other catastrophic injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, understanding your legal rights and options is an important first step.

Kennedy, Robbins, Yarbro & Henson, LC represents individuals and families affected by serious motorcycle accidents. Our attorneys work to understand how the accident occurred, identify the factors that contributed to the crash, and determine who may be legally responsible. We carefully examine the available evidence and help our clients pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from their injuries.

Thorough Investigation of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accident cases often require more than simply determining which vehicles collided. Roadway conditions, visibility, weather, traffic patterns, vehicle positions, driver behavior, and other circumstances may all play a role in determining responsibility. Our team may investigate accident-scene photographs and video, witness statements, police reports, vehicle and motorcycle damage, medical records, roadway conditions, and other available evidence to develop a clear understanding of what happened.

Serious Injuries and Long-Term Consequences

Motorcycle crashes can cause severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. These injuries may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones and fractures, severe road rash, internal injuries, amputations, paralysis, and permanent disabilities. Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include another driver, a vehicle owner, an employer or company, a vehicle or motorcycle manufacturer, a party responsible for maintenance, or a party responsible for roadway conditions. Every motorcycle accident is different, and determining responsibility requires a careful examination of the facts and available evidence.
