Since 1994, we have successfully advocated for injury victims and their survivors in West Virginia, from Charleston to Huntington and throughout Southern Ohio.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Can Be So Catastrophic
Because motorcyclists have less protection than those in enclosed vehicles, catastrophic outcomes of accidents are inherently more likely to happen. Common injuries in motorcycle accidents include:
- Spinal cord injuries with partial or complete paralysis
- Compound fractures in arms and legs or multiple broken bones
- Significant facial injuries, including broken teeth and permanent scarring
- Amputations of hands, arms and legs due to extensive trauma
- Life-threatening internal injuries to the lungs, heart, kidneys, spleen and more
In many cases, motorcyclists do not survive the worst crashes, leaving grieving loved ones to try to pull the fragments of their lives back together on their own.
The vast majority of motorcycle accidents come down to negligence on the part of other drivers. Distracted driving is virtually an epidemic in this nation, and drivers in passenger cars and trucks are often paying so much attention to other things that they do not even register the motorcyclist’s presence until it is too late.

Insurance companies often try to portray the victim in a motorcycle accident as somehow reckless. That is merely an effort to deflect blame from their own clients and reduce their financial obligations.
