Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can be devastating. Motorcycles offer very little protection to riders when an accident happens, so injuries tend to be severe. Motorcycle riders are therefore much more vulnerable to negligence on the part of other drivers, as motorcycles cannot endure a fender-bender like a car. Motorcyclists are also much more vulnerable to municipal negligence for poor roadway design and maintenance, as a pothole may cause a bump in a car, but may cause a motorcycle to wipe out and severely injure its rider.

At The Berkman Law Office, LLC motorcycle accidents are always on our mind, as one of our affiliated attorneys lost his leg in a severe motorcycle accident. As a result, we have an intimate familiarity with everything motorcycle accident victims go through.

Motorcycle accidents are different from car accidents as generally there is no “no-fault” coverage for motorcycles, and therefore motorcyclists must look to their own health insurance or the other driver to pay for their medical expenses, which are often quite high.

The Berkman Law Office, LLC has been handling motorcycle accident cases for almost 60 years. Whatever the particulars of your accident, you can be sure that we will be able to guide you down the best path to resolve your claim.
