Why Hiring an Amarillo Motorcycle Accident Attorney is Crucial
The majority of motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles are caused by the other driver—not the motorcyclist. But jurors tend to be biased, still believing that bikers are reckless risk-takers by nature. And the insurance companies know how to play on that misconception.
You need an experienced motorcycle accident attorney on your side to level the playing field. That’s where we come in.
Some of the many challenges you may be facing include:
- Serious or catastrophic bodily injuries
- Lack of witnesses or unreliable witnesses
- No personal memory of your accident due to your injuries
- Jurors who do not ride and do not understand how motorcycle accidents happen
- Bias against bikers that may have affected your treatment at the scene and may influence statements and testimony of law enforcement, EMTs, the other driver, and any witnesses
At Wood Law Firm, LLP, we know how to fight back against unjust bias and overcome the many challenges you face. Our goal is to maximize your recovery and help you get back on your feet by securing the full, fair compensation you are owed.
Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are more likely than passenger vehicle accidents to cause severe and catastrophic injuries due to the fact that motorcycle riders do not have the same protections as people in a car, truck, or SUV.
Even with proper motorcycle helmets and other safety gear, motorcyclists are at risk of suffering serious injuries in accidents, including:
- Head injuries
- Brain damage
- Spinal cord injury
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Severe road rash
- Burns
- Amputations
- Injuries to the legs, knees ankles, and feet
Road rash is an often-misunderstood injury. Road rash can be so severe that it is life-threatening. Severe road rash should be treated in a burn unit when possible. Early complications can include infection and sepsis. Severe road rash can cause permanent muscle damage and can even cause amputation of digits or limbs.
Understanding Damages in Motorcycle Accident Claims
Due to the severe nature of their injuries, motorcycle accident victims often experience significant economic and non-economic damages.
