Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycling is exhilarating, fuel efficient, and a unique experience every time. However, unlike car and truck drivers, motorcyclists lack the safety benefits of steel cage surroundings, bumpers, air bags, or safety belts. Motorcycle collisions often result in serious injury or death, specifically when the other driver is at fault.
Due to the serious nature of motorcyclists' injuries, we believe these cases call for attorneys who focus on personal injury law. Injured bikers usually have fractures, have undergone surgery, or often will need future medical care. We routinely consult with treating doctors in order to fully grasp the nature of your injuries, past treatment, and future treatment which may be required. Complete knowledge of medical evidence allows us to correctly represent your interest to an insurance company executive, judge, or jury in a court of law.
As with every accident case, as an injured motorcyclist you're up against an insurance company. They're well funded, experienced, and have their own attorneys. They're not necessarily looking after you. Questions? Call us. We'll listen. You'll find that our goals are direct: to represent your interest only, "even the playing field" against the insurance company, and get the right result for you.

- How much do you know about motorcycle road dangers?
Description: Motorcycle riders face a variety of hazards on the road every day: distracted drivers, aggressive truckers, dangerous weather conditions, and much more. One kind of road hazard can sneak up on an unsuspecting biker: unsafe road conditions like bridge joints, expansion joints, and uneven road surfaces. Bikers need to be alert for these dangerous road conditions in order to stay safe and avoid accidents, injuries, and even death. - Virginia Motorcycle Accident, Injury and Fatality Data
Description: The number of motorcycle accidents and fatalities in Virginia has been steadily rising over the years, culminating in an 80 percent increase in fatalities for calendar year 2007. This article presents statistical data from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles on motorcycle accident injury, fatality, and registration numbers. - 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. Unfortunately many drivers don’t give motorcyclists the respect they need on the road, and as a result too many bikers are injured or killed every year. 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
Description: Motorcycles have surged in popularity over the last few years, and with this increase in riders both fatal and non-fatal accidents have been on the ride. There are several basic steps that motorcycle riders can take to ensure that they stay safe on the roads. Proper training, licensing, and protective gear can help, as can watching your speed and making sure you don’t drink and ride.
