Personal injuries as a result of motorcycle accidents can be life-threatening and life-altering. By the very nature of a motorcycle, bikers are more vulnerable to injury in the case of a collision. This especially holds true when the other vehicle, usually a car or truck, is at fault. We represent clients in serious motorcycle injury cases in addition to auto and trucking accidents.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycling is a great mode of transportation. For the motorcyclist, the act of biking is exhilarating, fuel efficient, and certainly a unique experience every time. However, unlike car and truck drivers, motorcyclists obviously lack the safety benefits of steel cage surroundings, bumpers, air bags, or safety belts. Motorcycle collisions often result in serious injury or death. This holds true specifically when the other motorist is at fault.

We believe the complex nature of motorcyclists' injuries which typically arise in these collisions requires the involvement of attorneys who focus on personal injury law. Motorcycling collisions typically involve orthopedic injury, surgery, or the need for future surgery or medical therapy. The attorneys of Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas regularly consult with our clients' treating physicians in order to fully grasp the nature of the injury, past treatment, and future treatment which may be required. In this way, we can accurately convey our clients' position to an insurance company executive, or a jury in a court of law.

As with any accident case, an injured motorcyclist is engaged in an adversarial process against an insurance company. This opponent is well funded, has access to excellent attorneys, and in general is extremely well versed in defending against the case. As attorneys, our job is to advise our clients of Virginia law, represent people to the fullest extent possible against a corporate adversary, and use our own experience and knowledge to "even the playing field." We are proud of our results.

  • Do you know how to “share the road” with motorcycle riders?   
    Description: Spring is the start of motorcycle season, and in Virginia drivers see more and more bikers out on the roads and highways.

Every car and truck driver needs to keep a few simple facts about motorcycles in mind so they can safely share the road.
  • Are Gas Prices Affecting Motorcycle Safety?   
    Description: With gas prices on the rise, many motorists are looking for alternative means of transportation in order to get more bang for their commuting buck. Some riders have turned to the two-wheeled freedom and excellent gas mileage offered by scooters and motorcycles. However, the uptick in motorcycle registrations has experts wondering if all these new riders will contribute to ever worsening motorcycle accident and fatality statistics on Virginia’s roads.
  • Are Motorcycles Getting Deadlier?   
    Description: A dramatic increase in motorcycle ridership over the last decade coupled with Americans’ taste for speed and performance has caused manufacturers of so-called “sport bikes”, “supersports”, and “super bikes” to pile on the power. Another impact of the increase in ridership is that there are now more novice riders on the road than ever before, and predictably, the combination of green riders and powerful bikes is causing motorcycle accidents and fatalities to climb with each passing year.
  • Motorcyclists – How to Protect Yourself on the Road
