Union City Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

At Tien Law Firm, we understand that being involved in a motorcycle accident can be traumatic and can affect many aspects of your life. You want to make sure that someone explains your rights to you and lets you know the best strategy to deal with the insurance company. Motorcycle accidents can result in mounting medical bills, and can lead to inability to work and enjoy time with you family. Motorcycle accident claims can also be complex, involve serious injuries, and involve numerous parties, including the insurance adjuster, other driver, medical providers, and defense attorneys. Our Union City motorcycle accident attorney can let you know what to expect, can answer all of your questions, and can seek maximum compensation for your claim.

Liability in Motorcycle Accidents

If another driver’s negligent actions caused your motorcycle accident, they may be liable for your injuries in a personal injury case. Driver negligence can be due to a number of reasons including:

  • Following too closely
  • Testing and Driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Driving while tired or drowsy
  • Drunk or intoxicated driving (DWI or DUI)
  • Aggressive driving or road rage

A court may determine that a motorist is at fault for a motorcycle collision and hold them liable for the motorcycle wreck if their negligence can be proved. Your motorcycle accident lawyer may need to prove that a traffic violation occurred, such as following too closely, distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, right of way violation, or intoxication of the other driver. The defendant driver or defense counsel arguing motorcycles can be difficult to see, is not an excuse for a negligent driver who causes an accident.

Most Common Motorcycle Injuries

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The most common types of motorcycle injuries are injuries to the lower extremities. However, from motorcycle accident victims that we have represented, we see head a wide range of injures such as the the hands, wrist, back, and face. Injuries to the lower extremities are present in many hospitalizations of individuals involved in motorcycle accidents. When a motorcycle hits an object or is struck by a vehicle, riders may fall off their bike and can slide onto the road. Riders often attempt to use their arms or legs to cushion their fall or block objects in front of them, causing these injuries. Cuts or lacerations, burns, road rash, or broken bones can all occur as a result.

Other Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Many other injuries can occur in motorcycle accidents besides injuries to the arms and legs. These include:

  • Road rash anywhere on the body where the rider is dragged across the ground
  • Fracture or broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Disc injuries to the back
  • Internal bleeding
  • Cuts or lacerations to the body
  • Face and teeth injuries
  • Neck injuries, such as whiplash
  • Spinal Injuries

If you have been in a motorcycle accident and think you may be injured, see a doctor for an evaluation immediately. A doctor can diagnose and begin treating your injuries. A medical record linking your injuries to the accident may be used as evidence in a personal injury lawsuit if another driver is responsible for your accident.
