There is no question that motorcycles offer a feeling of freedom and excitement. Unfortunately, it also involves considerable risks. Many motorists lack basic knowledge about sharing the road with bikes, and when a car and motorcycle collide, the rider bears the brunt of the impact. Nothing shields them and many end tragically. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, you are most likely experiencing mounting medical bills and extended time off work. Contact a seasoned Rutter Mills Suffolk motorcycle accident lawyer and get the support you need.

Motorcycle Accident Compensation
Because motorcycle accidents are frequently devastating, the individual might run up extensive medical bills. Many are permanently impaired and require ongoing rehabilitation. Compensation, or damages, may include:
- Medical expenses, present, and future
- Lost wages
- Lost future earnings
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
When accidents involve a motorcycle, insurance companies often blame the biker as the at-fault driver, regardless of the circumstance. They will offer insultingly low settlements quickly after your accident in hopes you will accept from the need of paying immediate bills. However, these offers rarely cover the full extent of the costs related to your injury and disqualify you from seeking additional money. Get an experienced Rutter Mills attorney on your side and protect your rights.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Driver-related motorcycle accident causes include:
- Cutting off the motorcycle – many drivers cannot gauge motorcycle speed
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield
- Not checking blind spots when lane-changing
A motorcycle accident attorney can help determine who is liable. If the cyclist was not at fault, they can seek compensation for their injuries. In a worst-case scenario, when their injuries are fatal, a lawyer can assist the personal representative of the late person’s estate in filing a wrongful death lawsuit to benefit the family.
