Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face some of the highest risks on the road — not because of their own riding skills, but because they are often overlooked or underestimated by other drivers. When a motorcycle crash happens, the injuries can be life-altering, and the recovery process can be long and expensive. Our office fights to protect the rights of riders and to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Why Motorcycle Cases Are Different:

• Motorcycles are smaller and less visible, increasing the risk of a driver claiming they “didn’t see you.”
• Crashes often occur at intersections when cars fail to yield or turn into a rider’s path.
• Road hazards that barely affect cars — like loose gravel, uneven pavement, or slick roads — can be dangerous for motorcycles.
• Riders are more exposed, so even low-speed accidents can result in serious injuries.

Maryland Motorcycle Laws
In Maryland, motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as any other driver on the road. However, certain protective gear and licensing requirements apply, and failure to follow them can affect an injury claim. Knowing how these laws interact with accident liability is critical in building a strong case.

How We Help After a Motorcycle Crash:

• Investigating the crash scene, police reports, and any available video footage
• Documenting medical treatment and long-term injury impact
• Negotiating aggressively with insurance companies that may try to shift blame onto the rider
• Taking the case to court if a fair settlement isn’t offered

Motorcycle crashes can turn your life upside down — but you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. Contact our office today for a free consultation, and let us help you get back on the road to recovery.
