Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents frequently have catastrophic or fatal results. Injuries to the head, back, neck and the arms and legs are most common, although helmets have reduced the number of head and brain injuries over the years.

Blackman Legal Group has experience with many types of motorcycle accidents. The cases which we handle are ones where the motorcycle driver is driving properly and some other driver's negligence results in a collision. The most common cause that we see is that other drivers either do not see the motorcycle or do not yield as they should.

Our motorcycle accident lawyers investigate the facts of the accident and the cause of the accident, frequently using accident reconstruction engineers or other experts to determine the cause. Making sure that our clients get the right type of medical care is also important, so our attorneys are involved as soon as possible in counseling clients about the medical treatment they are receiving. Sometimes we arrange for care to be given on credit, with the doctors waiting for payment until the case is settled.


Mr. Blackman, the senior trial attorney at our firm, has special understanding of motorcycle accident cases as he has been a rider for 40 years and has first hand knowledge of the risks involved in motorcycle riding.

Most of the motorcycle collisions and accidents on the road are a result of one of the following:

- Speeding - 40 percent of motorcyclists who died in crashes were speeding.
- Hazards on the road, such as large cracks, holes, and bumps
- Cars and trucks coming out of driveways and from intersecting streets
- Failure to see the motorcyclist, sometimes due to no headlights on the bike
- Inexperienced motorcycle drivers and passengers.

After a motorcycle accident, or any other accident on the highways, it is very important to get legal counsel as soon as possible so the case can be properly investigated, and so advice can be obtained about the best types of medical care to recieve. If you have been injured in a motorcycle or car accident, or a friend or loved one has been catastrophically injured or killed in a motorcycle or car accident, contact Blackman Legal Group. You can call us toll-free nationwide at 1-866-528-8115 24 hours a day.
