Approximately 90,000 people were injured and more than 4,400 were killed in motorcycle accidents on U.S. roads last year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The same agency reports that motorcycle accident fatalities represented 13% of the total traffic-related fatalities that year.

Motorcycle accidents are caused by a variety of factors; however, as every motorcycle rider knows, one such factor is the negligence of other drivers, who often fail to notice motorcycles and either crash into them or force them off the road.

In any motorcycle accident case, our initial consultation is free.

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your pain and suffering, as well as for your medical bills, any wages lost as a result of the accident, and related property damage (such as damage to your motorcycle). Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents sometimes lead to catastrophic injuries that have life-long consequences for the injured cyclists. In such cases, the injured person may also pursue compensation for the cost of future care or medical treatment, as well as for any loss in earning power related to their injury.

The Charlotte-based attorneys of the Myers Law Firm work hard to maximize the compensation they recover for clients who were injured in motorcycle accidents. If you were injured in such an accident, whether or not you’ve already been contacted by an insurance company representative, we can help. We will thoroughly investigate the accident and make sure that the full extent of your injuries and the related costs are clear before we negotiate any settlement with the insurance company.

As experienced trial attorneys, we are also prepared to go to court if that becomes necessary in order to fully protect your rights. We know what evidence is necessary to build a strong case, and we know how to present such evidence effectively.

We also represent clients whose family members were killed in motorcycle accidents and who are pursuing wrongful death claims as a result.

Please note that North Carolina law limits the time period during which claims related to an injury or a wrongful death may be brought. To safeguard your rights, please contact us as soon as possible.
