Motorcycle Accidents
Salt Lake City, Utah, Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
While many attorneys advertise motorcycle accident legal services, many have handled only a few cases because of the comparative rarity of motorcycle cases when compared to car and truck cases. This can be a problem because motorcycle accident cases differ in many ways from car and truck accident cases.
At the Salt Lake City motorcycle accident and personal injury law firm of Adams Davis P.C., we have handled over 50 motorcycle cases. We are highly experienced in the many variables that can arise in protecting the rights of motorcycle accident injuries, including:
- Fighting the no-helmet defense. If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, this fact will almost certainly not prevent you from filing and winning a claim. We have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for individuals who were in accidents without a helmet.
- Motorcycle accidents often involve unusually severe injuries. We have successfully handled thousands of motor vehicle claims, and work with medical professionals to quantify complex injuries, including injuries to the spine, neck, brain and head.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is more common in motorcycle injuries than in car and truck injuries. We can work with neural psychologists and medical professionals to quantify emotional injuries.
We have handled numerous complex motorcycle accident injury cases involving complex laws and liability issues. For example, in a recent case, our client was a passenger on motorcycle. A dog chased the cycle, causing it to flip over and causing injury to our client's clavicle and wrist. The insurance company denied the claim, blaming the accident on the dog owner. We accepted the case and eventually arbitrated the case for a substantial amount.
In another recent case, our client was driving his motorcycle when the truck in front of him pulled left into the center turn lane. As our client passed the truck, it veered right again, into traffic, clipping his motorcycle and causing very serious personal injuries. The defendant denied liability and his insurance company offered our client nothing. After protracted litigation, thorough investigation of the facts and use of an accident reconstructionist, we were able to prove that our client was telling the truth and it was indeed the truck’s fault. The case then settled for a substantial sum of money.
While clavicle, wrist, shoulder and collar bone injuries most commonly result from motorcycle injuries, injuries can range to catastrophic bone, head and brain injuries.
