Motorcycle Accidents in Indiana

Holding the negligent accountable

Motorcycle riders get a bad rap.  When accidents occur, many people assume it is the biker's fault by driving too fast or driving recklessly.  The truth is that many motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the riders themselves, but other motorists' careless behavior and poorly maintained roads. This is why a rider may need the expert help of a an Evansville injury law firm.

Driver failure to check side-view mirrors and blind spots before pulling into traffic or changing lanes is one of the most common causes of motorcycle wrecks.  This is negligence on behalf of the driver, and violating a motorcycle's right of way can cause very serious injuries.  Other causes of these wrecks include alcohol use, slippery conditions, and roadway defects such as potholes.

Big injuries mean complex cases

Motorcycle crashes compose just two percent of all motor vehicle accidents, but nearly ten percent of motor vehicle fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  With less protection around the motorist and higher vulnerability to road and weather conditions, motorcycle wrecks can easily produce catastrophic injuries—and big medical bills. Common injuries that result from motorcycle crashes include—

  • Broken bones
  • Road rash
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Wrongful death

For your motorcycle accident claim, you need a tough litigator who understands the public perception of motorcycle riders and how to combat that perception with solid evidence and a complete knowledge of the law.  This knowledge of the law also helps me represent passenger vehicle drivers accused of causing motorcycle crashes. 

The Evansville accident law firm of Neil Chapman, Attorney at Law has built its reputation on handling motor vehicle accidents including motorcycle cases.  I have handled and successfully litigated many of these cases because I know where Indiana law stands on motorcycle issues, and I can offer knowledgeable and aggressive representation.
