Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are often the most vulnerable to the negligence of others.  Unfortunately, many are often treated as second class citizens by non-motorcyclists and their insurers. We have successfully tried many cases on behalf of motorcyclists and are attuned to the biases of many in the public toward motorcyclists.   Such biases that have to be overcome include the belief by many that “motorcyclists are hard to see” and, as a result, the driver of a car needs to be given some leeway.   There are others who believe that motorcyclists speed or drive weaving into and out of lanes.  As a result, we know how to develop evidence to overcome these biases in those with open minds.  Those prospective jurors who do not have open minds and are incapable of overcoming these biases must be identified and removed from the jury during the selection process.

         Motorcycle cases also often involve serious injuries including orthopedic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, disfigurement and in the worst cases, paralysis or death.  Therefore, it is important to have an attorney able to evaluate and prove all of the damages which a client has faced since the accident along with those damages and injuries the client will have to face for the rest of their life.   This is why it is important to select a law firm, such as Bemis, Roach and Reed, which is made up of attorneys who are Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law.
