Top Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Las Vegas
Were You Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?
Motorcyclists have little protection when another vehicle turns into their path, changes lanes without seeing them, follows too closely, or otherwise causes a collision. Even an accident that might be relatively minor between two cars can leave a rider facing broken bones, road rash, head or spinal injuries, surgery, rehabilitation, and months away from work.Motorcycle accident claims deserve an investigation based on the evidence not assumptions about the rider.
The Courtroom Couple examines how the collision actually happened, including the movements of each vehicle, driver visibility, roadway conditions, witness accounts, photographs, video, and other available evidence. Kory and Brittany also deal with the insurance companies and document the full impact of the rider’s injuries so the claim reflects what the accident has truly cost them.
Why Are Motorcycle Accident Claims Different?
A motorcycle collision is not simply a car accident involving a different type of vehicle. Riders face greater exposure to injury, the evidence can tell a different story than the initial accounts, and disputes over how the crash happened can become a major part of the claim. Understanding these differences can be important when protecting your right to compensation.
- Limited Protection, Greater Injuries
Without the structure of a passenger vehicle surrounding them, riders can suffer significant injuries even when the collision occurs at relatively moderate speeds. The seriousness of those injuries can make medical treatment, recovery time, future limitations, and long-term losses important parts of the claim. - Visibility Can Be a Critical Issue
Drivers may fail to see a motorcycle before turning, changing lanes, entering traffic, or crossing an intersection. Determining where the vehicles were positioned and what each driver could see can become an important part of reconstructing the collision. - Fault May Be Disputed
Motorcyclists can face assumptions about speed or riding behavior that do not necessarily reflect what actually happened. Photographs, video, witness statements, vehicle damage, roadway evidence, and other available information can help establish the facts of the crash. - The Motorcycle Can Be Evidence
Damage to the motorcycle, helmet, riding gear, and other property may provide information about the collision and the forces involved. Preserving that evidence before repairs, disposal, or other changes can help with the investigation.
How Is a Motorcycle Accident Claim Built?
Motorcycle accidents can result in conflicting accounts of what happened, especially when the rider is seriously injured and unable to give their version of events at the scene. Establishing responsibility may require piecing together vehicle positions, points of impact, roadway evidence, witness accounts, photographs, surveillance or traffic-camera footage when available, and other evidence surrounding the moments before the collision.
The Courtroom Couple builds the case around those facts while also showing the full consequences of the crash. Kory and Brittany investigate the collision, address disputes over responsibility, identify available insurance coverage, and document medical treatment, lost income, physical limitations, future needs, and other applicable losses. When an insurance company disputes the claim or undervalues what the rider has been through, they are prepared to pursue the case through litigation.
