Areas of Practice/Personal Injury:
Motorcycle Accidents

 

Motorcycle accidents can be deadly. Because they are more exposed, motorcyclists involved in accidents with motor vehicles are more likely to suffer serious injury. Motorcycle accidents often involve injuries to the extremities that may result in amputations or other serious injuries. If you're not wearing a helmet, motorcycle accidents may result in traumatic brain injury or even death. A motorcyclist is five times more likely to be killed in an accident than another motorist. See Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts 2010 at 60.

 

Because motorcycle accidents are different than motor vehicle accidents, insurance coverage may also be different. For example, the Minnesota No-Fault Law does not apply to motorcycles.*

 

Motorcyclists may be entitled to the following losses:

 

*Past medical expenses  Past lost wages  Past pain and suffering​​

Future medical expenses Future lost earning capacity Future pain and suffering

 

There may be several layers of insurance coverage and several insurers involved in your case including:

 

• Medical pay
• ​Liability insurance
• ​Underinsured motorist coverage (UIM)
