Virginia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle riders get a bad reputation for being reckless all because of their choice of vehicle. However, many bikers are very adept at handling their bikes and driving carefully. Other drivers are significant culprits of inattention and carelessness. These and other driver actions can lead to risk for motorcycle riders. Finding the cause of the motorcycle accident is vital to injury claims. A Virginia motorcycle accident lawyer can help with the investigation and financial recovery process.

Potential Motorcycle Accident Injuries

One of the best feelings in the world is traversing the open road with nothing but the wind hitting you and the beautiful scenery. Sadly, that incredible feeling can be quickly interrupted when a collision happens. Motorcycle wrecks are typically associated with severe injuries. Motorcycles account for 3% of all registered vehicles, but motorcyclists account for 14% of traffic fatalities, according to the National Safety Council. While life-altering injuries are possible, so are minor injuries.

Since there are many factors in motorcycle accidents, there is no formula to predict how severe your injury will be. Some potential motorcycle accident injuries you may experience include:

Traumatic brain injury
Broken bones
Spinal cord damage
Road rash
Soft tissue injuries
Amputations
Facial fractures
Burns

This is not a complete list, as any number of injuries can result from a motorcycle accident. Subsequent injuries are also possible if a rider is thrown from their vehicle, hit by another car, or slides on the pavement. It is best to get medical attention immediately to assess your injuries and begin your physical recovery. You should then call a Virginia motorcycle accident attorney.

Recovering Fair Compensation

Depending on the cause of the motorcycle accident, the severity of your inquiries, and other factors, you might be able to pursue compensation. There are two primary types of damages you can seek, including economic and non-economic. Punitive damages might be available in cases involving intentional misconduct or extreme negligence.

In general, damages can include but are not limited to:

Medical expenses
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Lost past and future wages
Loss of consortium
Disfigurement and scarring
Disability

An experienced Virginia personal injury lawyer can help assess which damages apply to your case. Speak to the Law Office of Sharif Gray for more information.

Motorcycle Safety

Bikers face a significant risk since their bikes have few safety features. They are some of the smallest vehicles on our roadways. The lack of protection and security can contribute to the severity of injuries. Bikers may suffer significant injuries when they are in a collision with an SUV, commercial truck, or passenger vehicle.

Motorcycle drivers and passengers can wear protective equipment. The laws regarding safety equipment will vary depending on where you live. It is essential to know what they are and abide by them. However, in some cases not wearing protective equipment does not prevent you from pursuing compensation.

Call a Virginia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Victims of motorcycle accidents have legal options after collisions. You may be eligible to pursue compensation and recover financially for your losses. However, having legal representation is vital. A Virginia personal injury attorney from RVA Personal Injury Lawyers will work to fight for your rights. Call us at (804) 915-1611 today.
