Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Should a crash occur, a motorcyclist is at risk of suffering serious injuries. Indeed, some studies estimate that riders are as much as 30 times more likely to be severely injured in a crash than occupants of other automobiles. Our Seattle motorcycle accident lawyers handle the complete range of cases—from mild and moderate injuries to catastrophic crashes. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accident injuries include:

  • Road rash;
  • Muscle strains;
  • Soft tissue damage (whiplash);
  • Biker’s arm;
  • Broken/fractured bones;
  • Internal organ damage;
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs); and
  • Spinal cord damage. 

Motorcycle Accident Liability in Washington

In Washington, motorcycle accident liability is based on fault. All negligent parties can be held liable for a crash. To prove negligence, you must provide evidence demonstrating that another party’s careless or reckless conduct was a causal factor in the wreck. Most often, motorcycle accident claims are brought against negligent drivers. Though, of course, there are some exceptions. Other parties, including manufacturers and road designers, could also bear liability. Still, the primary defendants in these cases are other drivers. Some common examples of driver negligence that can lead to motorcycle accidents include: 

  • Speeding;
  • Running red lights or stop signs;
  • Unsafe lane change;
  • Making left turns directly in front of a bike;
  • Tailgating a motorcycle;
  • Distracted driving; 
  • Using a cell phone or handheld device while driving; and
  • Drunk driving. 

Washington is a comparative fault motorcycle accident jurisdiction. In some cases, one driver will be liable for the entirety of the crash. As such, they will be responsible for 100 percent of the resulting damages. However, in other cases, crash liability may be split amongst two or more defendants—in fact, even an injured motorcyclist may be held partially at fault for their own crash. You must protect yourself against an unfair apportionment of liability. Being held liable for your own accident could cost you thousands of dollars. 

Recovering Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident

After proving liability, your claim will move on to the issue of damages. Under Washington state law, plaintiffs must document their damages in order to be eligible to recover financial compensation. Sadly, insurance companies look for every opportunity that they can find to minimize settlement offers/verdicts. At Premier Law Group, our Seattle motorcycle accident lawyers will help you level the playing field. We can assist you in seeking financial compensation for:  

  • Motorcycle repairs or replacement;
  • Emergency room treatment;
  • Medical bills;
  • Physical therapy;
  • Loss of current and future wages;
  • Pain and suffering;
  • Disfigurement;
  • Permanent disability or impairment; and
  • Wrongful death damages.
