Missouri Motorcycle Injury Attorneys

Motorcycle Accident Overview

Motorcyclists ride because they enjoy the feeling of freedom, the culture of riding and the fuel efficiency -- among other reasons. But as most riders know, those benefits come with added vulnerability in an accident. The federal Department of Transportation reports that motorcyclists were 37 times more likely than drivers to be killed in an accident in 2005, and eight times more likely to be injured. And unfortunately, statistics show that the majority of multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcyclists were caused by a driver. Without the protection of a steel and glass cage, even the best rider in the world can be exposed to catastrophic injuries by the actions of one driver who "just didn't see" the motorcycle.

If this has happened to you or someone you care about, you almost certainly have serious problems with your health, your money and your bike. Many people who've been in accidents encounter frustrations with an insurance company as well -- denied claims, incorrect assignment of fault and settlement offers that aren't nearly enough to cover all of your costs. You deserve better, especially if your accident was caused by someone else's carelessness. If you're facing this kind of dilemma, you should contact the St. Louis law firm of Page Law to talk about pursuing a motorcycle accident lawsuit.

Most people aren't sure whether filing a lawsuit is the right way to handle a motorcycle crash. After all, money can't bring back a loved one or heal serious, life-changing injuries. We understand that -- but as experienced accident lawyers, we also understand that accidents can have a catastrophic effect on your finances and your future. Medical treatment and motorcycle repair can be a heavy financial burden for an ordinary middle-class family. If you can't work because of an injury, you often can't make the money you need to pay for those and other costs related to the crash. Insurance companies may try to bilk you by raising your premiums after an accident, regardless of fault. And if you've lost someone, you have funeral bills and the unexpected loss of an income as well. A motorcycle accident lawsuit is designed to meet those needs, by getting you the money you need to get better and get back on the road.
