Maryland Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Injury Lawyers serving Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C.

A Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, D.C. motorcycle accident is often more treacherous than an auto accident and can involve serious injuries with devastating results. Although motorcyclists are often stereotyped as reckless and fast drivers, it’s negligent automobile drivers who cause most motorcycle accidents.

With little regard or respect for motorcycles, automobile drivers place motorcyclists at greater risk for serious injuries in a motorcycle accident. According to the Motorcycle Accident Cause Factors and Identification of Countermeasures (Volume 1: Technical Report. Hurt, H.H.; Ouellet, J.V.; and Thom, D.R.), the failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominate cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until it was too late to avoid the collision.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2004 there were 4,008 motorcyclists killed and an additional 76,000 were injured in traffic crashes in the United States—motorcyclists are 32 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle crash and six times more likely to be injured.

However, because of the perceived increased dangers associated with motorcycles, the victim’s rights in a motorcycle accident may be tough to defend, even if the cause is the other party’s negligence. A Washington, D.C., Maryland, or Virginia motorcycle accident injury lawyer is the only solution to guide you through this difficult legal process.

Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, D.C. motorcycle accident injuries can have a devastating impact on the life of the motorcyclist and his or her family. If you or someone you love has been in a motorcycle accident, the same laws apply as if you were in a car or truck. These laws require that the person or company responsible pay for your motorcycle accident repairs and injuries. It is important you understand the dangers associated with motorcycles and the rights you have if you’re ever in a motorcycle accident.
