There are various reasons for motorcycle accidents, but 2008 statistical data from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration suggests a common factor -- other vehicles turning into the path of motorcyclists:

• In almost 50 percent of all accidents involving a motorcycle, another vehicle was also involved
• In 41 percent of the two-vehicle accidents, the car striking the motorcycle was making a left turn.
• In 77 percent of these motorcycle accidents involving two vehicles, the motorcycle was struck in the front

Because motorcycles lack the safety features of cars and other passenger vehicles, motorcyclists are more likely to suffer severe or catastrophic injuries in the event of an accident.  A motorcyclist, however, has the same legal protections and options as any other person injured in a crash.

Our attorneys at the Law Firm of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. have years of experience with motorcycle accident cases.  We know how to reconstruct what occurred during your motorcycle accident, how to successfully present your unique circumstances in the courtroom and negotiate a settlement with the insurance company.

Like all accident victims, you may have extensive medical bills or other financial problems that can include the loss of a pension or health benefits, loss of income, loss of household help, the costs of pain and suffering and the loss of consortium (damaged relationships due to the accident).  We can help secure a financial settlement that will allow you to put your life back on track.
