Legal Claims

Motorcycle accidents aren’t like regular car crashes. These cases involve unique challenges because motorcyclists face unfair stereotypes that can hurt their claims. Insurance companies often assume bikers are reckless, speed demons, or somehow at fault regardless of the actual circumstances. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have handled thousands of these cases and know exactly how to counter these prejudices while building a strong case that proves the truth of what happened.

Understanding Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies have one goal: pay as little as possible. When it comes to motorcycle accidents, they’ll use every trick in the book to blame the biker. They’ll suggest you were speeding, not wearing proper gear, or somehow responsible even when the evidence clearly shows otherwise. They know most people don’t understand the unfair biases motorcyclists face, and they’ll exploit this to protect their bottom line.

Understanding Statute of Limitations

Time limits are crucial for motorcycle accident claims. You generally have two to three years to file a lawsuit depending on your state, but evidence disappears fast. Skid marks fade, witnesses forget details, and security camera footage gets deleted. The sooner you contact a motorcycle accident lawyer, the better we can preserve the evidence that proves your case and protects your rights.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

The actions you take immediately after a motorcycle accident can make or break your case. Here’s what every biker needs to know:

What to Do After an Accident

Taking the right steps after a crash can protect both your health and your legal claim.

  1. Ensure Safety: Move to a safe location away from traffic and check for injuries.
  2. Call 911: File an official police report. This is crucial for your case, especially since police may have their own biases about motorcycle accidents
  3. Seek Medical Attention: See a doctor right away, as adrenaline can mask serious injuries.
  4. Document Everything: Take photos & videos of injuries, vehicles, the scene, skid marks, road hazard, and collect witness information.
  5. Exchange Information: Collect contact and insurance details from all drivers and bystanders involved.
  6. Report to Insurance: Notify your insurance company about the accident.
  7. Preserve Gear: Keep your helmet, jacket, and other protective equipment as evidence of the impact and your safety-conscious approach
  8. Keep Records: Save all medical bills, repair estimates, and accident-related documents.
  9. Avoid Recorded Statements: Politely decline insurance adjuster requests for comment.
  10. Steer Clear of Social Media: Refrain from posting your accident on social accounts.
  11. Call Keller & Keller Immediately: The sooner we start working, the better we can protect your interests and counter unfair stereotypes

The Hard Truth

Motorcycle Accident Statistics:

28x
That’s how much more likely motorcyclists are to die in a crash than passenger vehicle occupants

Motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger vehicle occupants. These aren’t just statistics—they’re real people whose lives have been devastated by drivers who simply weren’t paying attention or didn’t respect motorcyclists’ right to share the road.

41%
Of all motorcycle crashes result from drivers simply failing to see motorcycles

42% of fatal motorcycle crashes involving another vehicle occur when that vehicle turns left while the motorcycle is going straight—a clear violation of the motorcyclist’s right-of-way. NHTSA reports that 41% of all motorcycle crashes result from drivers simply failing to see motorcycles. The most common excuse? “I didn’t see them.” This isn’t an acceptable defense—drivers have a responsibility to look for ALL vehicles.

42.7%
Of motorcyclists lack insurance

42.7% of motorcyclists lack insurance compared to other road users, and 55% of motorcycle liability payments involve uninsured motorist coverage, meaning over half of claims stem from crashes with underinsured at-fault drivers. Motorcycle accidents cost $16 billion annually, with society bearing 75% of these costs—leaving injured riders fighting for compensation while facing financial catastrophe.

Leading Causes of Car Accidents

Most motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers’ negligence, not motorcyclist error. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases and fight unfair stereotypes.

Driver Inattention

The leading cause of motorcycle accidents, where car and truck drivers simply fail to see motorcycles or misjudge their speed and distance.

Left-Turn Violations

Drivers making left turns across traffic who fail to yield to oncoming motorcycles, often claiming they “didn’t see” the bike

Lane Change Negligence

Drivers who change lanes without properly checking blind spots, striking motorcycles that were clearly visible.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries We Represent

Motorcycle accidents don’t cause fender-benders—they cause life-changing injuries that turn families upside down. Because motorcyclists have less protection than car occupants, injuries tend to be more severe and require specialized medical care.
