What to Expect After a Motorcycle Accident Crash.
- Your injuries will be significant and possibly permanent. Fractures are frequent, especially pelvic fractures when the rider has been thrown off the bike. Safety gear – particularly your helmet – will give you some road rash protection and reduce your risk of a traumatic brain injury, but fractures are common. A motorcycle accident attorney can help find medical providers to treat your injuries.
- The car driver will claim they didn’t see you, as if that is your fault. Wear your safety gear and bright colors, but expect the other driver will blame you because they didn’t see you in time.
- You will be blamed for speeding. Everyone knows motorcycle riders drive too fast, right? No, that is incorrect – most motorcycle riders have undergone special riding safety training, follow safety recommendations and do everything they can to avoid a crash. You will need a motorcycle accident attorney to defend your driving skills were not a factor in the crash.
- Your helmet will save your life. We always hear, “thank goodness I was wearing my helmet.”
- If you don’t have uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your motorcycle policy, add it right away. You can read more about this topic in my article titled: “Unforeseen Road Hazard”. Chances are the driver-at-fault with not have enough insurance or assets to fully compensate you if you’re involved in serious crash. You should also consider getting an “umbrella” policy.
