Motorcycle and Boating Accidents

Motorcycle Accidents

According to recent statistics, eight out of ten multi-vehicle accidents that involve a motorcycle are not the motorcyclist's fault. Motorcyclists are often injured by automobile drivers or truckers who fail to see them, turn in front of their bikes, or follow too closely and rear-end them.

Because a motorcycle does not afford the same physical protection as a car, motorcyclists are more susceptible to serious injury in the event of an accident, including broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and death. If motorcyclists survive their crashes, they may face large medical bills, permanent disability, job loss, and other hardships that can be overwhelming for patients and their families.

In addition to the negligence of other drivers, conditions such as lack of highway maintenance, defective motorcycle design, or negligent motorcycle repair work may cause or contribute to a motorcycle accident. Thus, it is crucial that injured motorcyclists seek the advice of an experienced attorney.

Criminal and civil matters arising from the operation of a watercraft can include boating accidents/losses, licenses, unlawful navigation, unlawful dumping, breaches of security zones, or boating under the influence.
