Advocating For Those Hurt or Killed On Motorcycles or By Motorcycles
Motorcycle accidents can be deadly, even when high speeds are not involved. Even with the help of a helmet, riders are vulnerable, largely unprotected from the impact of vehicles or other objects that can cause serious injuries and death. Spinal cord and brain injuries and other catastrophic outcomes are far more likely to occur than with comparable accidents involving cars alone. Thousands of people are killed on motorcycles in the United States each year and many thousands of others are seriously hurt. In some of these cases, negligence is involved and legal action is appropriate.
At Hanaford Law, we can help you understand your legal rights if you or a loved one was hurt or killed in a motorcycle accident. We cannot change what happened, but in some instances we can help recover significant financial compensation to deal with medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Our experience extends to motorcycle accident cases involving:
- Drivers who were speeding or driving recklessly, or who did not signal a turn
- Careless or inattentive drivers who failed to yield or ran through a red light or stop sign
- Drivers who cut off a motorcyclist
- Distracted drivers who were using a cellphone or mobile device
- Trucks or commercial vehicles that struck a motorcyclist
- Motorcycle head injury and other serious injuries
