If you believe another party’s negligence caused your injuries, do not wait. Delays can harm both your health and your legal claim.
Why Motorcycle, Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents Require Specialized Legal Representation
Motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle accident cases differ significantly from standard car accident claims. Insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame or undervalue injuries—especially when vulnerable road users are involved.
Common challenges include:
- Bias against motorcyclists or cyclists
- Disputes over right-of-way
- Severe injuries with long recovery timelines
- Limited or disputed insurance coverage
An experienced attorney understands how to counter insurance tactics, document injuries properly, and build a case that reflects the true impact of your injuries.
