Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Virginia

In our decades of experience, we have seen that most motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence of other drivers who fail to share the road safely. We handle cases involving:

• Left-Turn Accidents: Other vehicles making dangerous left turns directly into the path of an oncoming motorcycle.

• Unsafe Lane Changes: Drivers failing to check their blind spots before changing lanes, cutting off or colliding with a rider.

• Speeding and Reckless Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors that put everyone on the road, especially vulnerable motorcyclists, at risk.

• Impaired Driving: Accidents caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Road Hazards: Poorly maintained roads with potholes, debris, or uneven surfaces that can cause a rider to lose control.

Determining the cause is the first step in proving the other party’s liability and building a powerful case for the compensation you deserve.

Securing Full Compensation for Your Injuries and Losses

Due to the limited protection a motorcycle offers, riders often suffer severe, life-altering injuries. Our firm is dedicated to ensuring your compensation reflects the true cost of your accident, both now and in the future. We fight for clients who have sustained:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Including concussions and more severe brain damage that can have lifelong effects.

• Spinal Cord Injuries: Which can lead to partial or complete paralysis and require a lifetime of care.

• Broken Bones: Especially common in the legs, arms, and ribs, often requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitation.

• Road Rash: Severe abrasions from sliding across the pavement that can lead to infections and permanent scarring.

• Internal Injuries: Damage to organs that may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening.

In Virginia, injured motorcyclists have the right to seek compensation for all their losses. Our team will fight to secure a settlement or verdict that includes:

• Medical Expenses: Covering everything from emergency room visits and hospital stays to future surgeries, physical therapy, and medication.

• Lost Wages: Reimbursement for the income you have lost while unable to work.

• Loss of Earning Capacity: Compensation if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or earning the same level of income in the future.

• Pain and Suffering: For the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident and your injuries.

• Property Damage: To cover the cost of repairing or replacing your motorcycle and damaged gear.

• Wrongful Death: In the tragic event that an accident is fatal, we help surviving family members file a claim for funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents

What Should I Do Immediately After a Motorcycle Accident?

First, seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries may not be immediately apparent. If you can, take photos of the scene, your bike, and the other vehicle. Get the contact information of the other driver and any witnesses. Report the accident to the police, but avoid admitting fault. Finally, contact an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer before speaking to any insurance companies.

How Much Is My Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?

Every case is unique. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, the total of your medical bills and lost wages, the long-term impact on your life, and the strength of the evidence. During your free consultation, we can review the specifics of your case and provide an honest assessment of what you may be entitled to.

What if I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?

While Virginia law requires helmets, not wearing one does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. The other driver can still be held liable for causing the accident. However, the insurance company may try to argue that your injuries would have been less severe if you had worn a helmet. This is a complex issue where having an experienced attorney is crucial.
