Montgomery Motorcycle Accident Lawyers: Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable
Despite being one of the greatest and most exhilarating hobbies a person can take up, motorcycle riding poses some significant dangers to riders. Motorcyclists must always be aware of their surroundings as they are much smaller than conventional automobiles and may be more difficult for other drivers to see in time to avoid a collision. Additionally, motorcycles lack modern safety features that are common on cars and trucks — namely seat-belts, air-bags, and surrounding walls. Due to this, the injuries that a motorcyclist may incur as the result of the negligent actions of other drivers can be incredibly severe, to say the least.
If you or someone close to you has been the victim of a motorcycle accident, seek the service of the experienced Alabama motorcycle accident lawyers at the law office of Wettermark Keith today. With over 30 years of combined litigation experience, our dedicated attorneys have the resources and skills needed to build you an effective case.
STATEWIDE DATA
Data collected by the Alabama Department of Public Safety helps illustrate the frequency and nature of motorcycle accidents across the state. This data can help show riders and drivers alike the dangers that motorcyclists face on the streets each and every day. Reports indicate that for the 2008 calendar year, there were an estimated 2,087 motorcycle accidents. Within these accidents, 1,347 people suffered an extent of personal injury while 95 people tragically lost their lives.
Injuries that our firm has helped clients recover substantial financial compensation for in the past as a result of a motorcycle accident have included:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Head Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Fractured Bones
- Extensive Cuts and Bruises (often labeled “Road Rash”)
- Burns
- Wrongful Death
LACK SAFETY FEATURES ON MOTORCYCLES
Due to the lack of safety features on motorcycles, riders typically incur vastly more serious injuries than passengers in a typical automobile. Additionally, motorcycles themselves are significantly smaller than cars and are generally pushed or thrown off the road — or worse into oncoming traffic when struck by larger vehicles. Contact our law office today if you have been injured or lost someone close to you in a motorcycle collision, extensive compensation can be sought for your injuries.
