Injured in a Motorcycle Accident? We’re Here to Help You Recover

Motorcyclists face a unique set of risks every time they ride. Even with full protective gear, there’s little to shield you from the force of a collision with a car or truck. When another driver is careless, the results can be devastating.

​

At Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC, we understand how serious motorcycle accidents can be—and how important it is to hold negligent drivers accountable. If you’ve been hurt in a crash that wasn’t your fault, you deserve strong legal representation and full compensation for what you’ve endured. That’s where we come in.

​

Motorcycle Crashes Often Cause Life-Changing Injuries

When a vehicle hits a motorcycle, the rider usually suffers the worst of the impact. Motorcycle accident victims commonly face:

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

• Broken bones and internal injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries (even with a helmet)

• Road rash and disfigurement

• Long-term or permanent disability

​

Whether your injuries are temporary or permanent, they can seriously disrupt your life. You may be unable to work while you recover, and your medical bills may be overwhelming. We’re here to help you seek the financial support you need to move forward.

How Negligent Drivers Put Motorcyclists at Risk

Most motorcycle accidents are preventable. They happen when other drivers fail to exercise the level of caution the law requires. If you were hit while riding, it’s likely the other driver was negligent. We frequently see crashes caused by:

• Distracted Driving
  Cell phone use is one of the biggest threats to motorcyclists. Drivers who text, email, or talk while driving often fail to see motorcyclists until it’s too late.

• Drunk or Drugged Driving
  Drivers under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or other substances pose a serious danger. If you believe the driver who hit you was impaired, it’s important to report that to the police right away.

• Road Rage or Aggressive Driving
  Some drivers act aggressively toward motorcyclists—tailgating, cutting off, or even trying to intimidate riders. This kind of reckless behavior can cause severe accidents.

• Failure to Check Blind Spots
  Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars. Many collisions happen when drivers fail to check their mirrors before changing lanes or turning.

• Rushed Commercial Drivers
  Rideshare drivers and others using their cars for income often speed or make risky moves to maximize profits. Their haste can put motorcyclists at serious risk.

We investigate every case thoroughly to determine exactly what caused your accident—and to prove the other party’s liability.
