Phillips Law Firm Can Handle Your Motorcycle Accident Claim

Motorcycle accidents have the highest percentage of serious injury and fatalities of all accidents. Statistics show that over 77% of motorcyclists are struck in the front of their bike and only a mere 7% are struck from behind with over 80% of all motorcycle crashes resulting in injury or death.

Inattentive Driving resulting in
Motorcycle Accident

Many times drivers fail to see a motorcyclist before colliding, and this results in a high level of impact being delivered directly on the body causing serious injury, permanent disability and even death. An alarming 2,000 deaths occur each year as a result of motorcycle collisions. At Phillips Law Firm we handle motorcycle accident claims on a daily basis. For many years have been helping our clients and their families get the compensation they deserve for their accidents. We want to help take care of your legal troubles as soon as possible so you can focus on healing.

When riding a motorcycle you are susceptible to various types of injuries including:

Biker’s Arm Injury

When a motorcyclist falls the upper arm might receive the majority of the impact. Biker’s Arm is nerve damage and paralysis of the arm caused from the initial fall off of the bike during an accident.

Broken Bones Injury

Elbows, shoulder breaks, and pelvic fractures are the most common types of broken bone injuries in a motorcycle accident. Finger, wrist, knee, and spinal fractures are less common breaks but can lead to permanent disability or permanent loss of motion (paralysis).

Brain Damage Injury

Concussions and brain damage occur when the head violently makes contact with the inside of the helmet or the ground. Depending on the severity of the bleeding and swelling in the brain, head injuries can lead to permanent paralysis and loss of brain function. Motorcycle riders can reduce the risk of death by 37% percent by wearing a protective helmet.

Road Rash Injury

Road rash occurs when the body slides across the pavement. Leather jackets, reinforced denim or other thick, durable and motorcycle-specific material between the rider’s body and the cement can reduce the risk of road rash by over 50%.

Permanent Disfigurement Injury

When unprotected skin slides across the ground or makes impact with an object the risk of permanent disfigurement arises. Over 35% percent of all motorcycle crashes result in major impact on the face, causing permanent disfigurement if the rider is not wearing a full-face protective helmet.

Poor road maintenance, defective motorcycle components, lack of visibility to other drivers, collision avoidance, stationary objects, and inattentive drunk drivers are the most common factors in a motorcycle accident occurrence. Despite common belief (especially in the Washington State) weather is not a common factor. Failing to break, over-breaking and lack of ability to counter-steer can leave motorcyclist in a serious accident.
