On the injuries, deaths, and property damage caused from consumer product incidents
Motorcycle accidents are particularly dangerous because motorcyclists are at a higher risk of suffering death and serious injury during car accidents than car and truck drivers. Victims of motorcycle accidents often suffer injuries that require significant medical treatment and care.
Medical bills exceeding $500,000 are not uncommon after serious motorcycle accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a person is 37 times more likely to die as a result of a motorcycle accident rather than a car accident. People are nine times more likely to become injured in a motorcycle accident than in a car accident.

If you have been involved in a devastating motorcycle accident, you may be wondering what to do next. The thought of filing a lawsuit may be overwhelming to you. You may have a valid legal claim against the person responsible for causing your motorcycle accident. The first step in filing a personal injury lawsuit is to determine who is at fault for your injuries.
In many cases, a negligent driver causes a motorcycle accident. Negligent drivers are financially responsible for the injuries of others caused by their negligence. If another driver ran a red light and slammed into your motorcycle, that other driver is negligent and financially responsible for any injuries caused by the accident.
In other cases, dangerous road conditions may have caused your accident. In these cases, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the city or town responsible for the roads. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to potholes. Driving over a pothole can cause a motorcyclist to lose control and collide with another vehicle.
Motorcycle collisions can cause lasting and devastating injuries. After a motorcycle accident happens, you may face a long recovery that may make it difficult, if not impossible to continue working. You may be concerned about how you will pay your bills during this difficult time. Plaintiffs who successfully file a personal injury lawsuit are entitled to the following types of damages:
Insurance companies often begin calling those injured in accidents within hours of the accident.
