"The motorcycle came out of nowhere ... "
Proving What Happened in Your Motorcycle Crash
These days, automobile drivers are so busy talking on the phone, texting messages, checking email, drinking coffee, looking at billboards or in the mirror (just to name a few distractions), that little time or focus is left to pay attention to their driving. Unfortunately, when an automobile vs. motorcycle accident happens, inattentive, negligent, and guilty drivers are often quick to blame the motorcyclist. Not surprisingly, profit driven insurance companies are also quick to blame the motorcycle rider and often claim that the motorcyclist must have done something to have caused or contributed to the accident.
At Avila & Shaddow, we don't accept lame excuses, we hold negligent motorists accountable for their inattention. Early investigation into the cause(s) of an accident, preservation of evidence, and aggressive motorcycle rider representation can make the difference between no compensation, nominal compensation, and just compensation. Was the inattentive driver the sole cause of the rider's injuries or was his motorcycle, helmet, or protective gear a contributor? When liability is unreasonably disputed and our client is not at fault, professional investigators and accident reconstruction experts can also help prove what really happened.

The Aftermath of a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents rarely result in minor injuries for the rider who goes down on his or her bike. Because a rider is completely exposed to the asphalt, other vehicles on it, and does not have the protective shell that an automobile provides, motorcyclists can suffer catastrophic injuries such a broken bones, back and neck injury, severe road rash abrasions, scarring, spinal cord injury, brain damage, loss of limbs, and death.
Because motorcycle injuries are so serious, we work closely with our clients and their doctors to determine their long-term impact. Surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing medical care, medical bills, lost earnings, as well as pain and suffering damages must all be taken into account when deciding what value a case has, and whether it can be settled or instead taken to trial.
The Motorcyclist Was Partly Responsible
In some cases, the motorcyclist may be partly to blame for the accident. Even so, monetary compensation can still be obtained depending on the facts of the case.
