Motorcycle Accidents
A Washington or Oregon Motorcycle Accident Can Be Severe
Motorcycles offer an exciting way to experience the open road in a way that can hardly be matched by driving a car. They're fun and economical, but they do carry risks. While drivers and passengers in cars have airbags and seatbelts to protect them, motorcycle riders have relatively little crash protection.
Motorcycle safety is important and taking the proper precautions can reduce risks. But motorcycle accidents happen. When a car or a truck collides with a motorcycle, the occupants in the car or truck often will walk away without a scratch. Motorcycle riders are often not so lucky. Often, they face severe and debilitating injuries or possibly even death.

Motorcycle riders are 300 percent more likely to sustain an injury than an occupant of a car involved in a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In many cases, the insurance company may try to argue that the motorcycle operator was somehow at fault, even though research has found that the biker is not to blame for most crashes. In fact, studies show that an automobile driver's failure to see the motorcycle in traffic is one of the top causes of motorcycle accidents.

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, don't let the insurance company representatives and adjusters push you around. Level the playing field.
