Motorcycle Accidents in St. Louis, Missouri

Motorcycle riders love their bikes for various reasons: The thrill of the road, the efficiency of a small vehicle, the exposure to open air. However, the reality is that despite these simple pleasures, motorcyclists face risks on the road that the drivers of other vehicles don't.

Accident Injuries

The unfortunate reality is that motorcycle riders always face the risk of serious injury, even if involved in a "minor" accident. In fact, many motorcycle drivers are thrown off their vehicles in a crash, resulting in such serious injuries as:

• Fractured bones
• Road rash
• Head and neck injuries
• Spinal cord and brain injuries
• Catastrophic injuries
• Fatal injuries / wrongful death

Besides dealing with a serious injury, motorcycle accident victims must also cope with financial and legal complications. Before long, the expenses begin piling up: Medical bills, rehabilitative costs and other accident-related costs. This, coupled with lost wages, can create a very serious financial hurdle.

What Caused Your Accident?

Our attorneys will work diligently to determine who was responsible for your injuries. Although every case is different, many accidents are caused by one of the following factors:

• Drunk drivers
• Careless driving
• Drivers who fail to see a motorcycle
• Drivers who change lanes too close to a motorcycle
• Left turn accidents
• Dangerous road conditions
• Motorcycle defects / product liability

A thorough investigation is the cornerstone of any sound motorcycle accident case. If necessary, we will retain the services of accident reconstructionists and medical experts to supplement our case. We will stop at nothing to uncover the cause of your motorcycle accident.
