Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcycle riders face especially difficult challenges in operating -- both on the road and in the legal system.  Every year, thousands of motorcycle riders are hit by drivers of cars or trucks who simply do not see the motorcyclist.  Once their cases get to court, they must face skeptical juries who often wrongly perceive motorcycle riders as risk-takers and daredevils.

On the road, motorists frequently give riders less respect than they give to other vehicles, even though the great majority of riders go out of their way to exercise safe driving habits.  Why do riders often drive as safely, if not more so, than vehicle drivers? Because they're all too aware of the serious consequences to themselves of having an accident with another vehicle.

Because of their strong sense of community with each other, riders often learn when one of their community has been seriously injured in a crash. Head injuries, fractures, serious disfigurement, and death are all too common consequences of motorcycle crashes. The risks of being involved in a crash are serious, and as a consequence, riders are on the whole very careful on the road.

Special challenges in presenting motorcycle cases

  • Making a jury understand how a motorcycle works and what a rider must do to operate it safely
  • Making a jury understand the special obligations that motorists have to respect the rights of riders to use the road
  • Demonstrating the severity of the kinds of injuries that riders suffer in accidents - the term "road rash" does not properly capture just how awful these injuries are

In short, riders deserve experienced representation from an attorney who understands the special nature of motorcycle accidents.  The Chicago motorcyle carsh lawyers at the Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle, P.C. stand ready to help injured motorcycle riders and their families in dealing with the special challenges presented in motorcycle accident lawsuits.
