What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Montgomery

Being involved in a motorcycle accident is different from a typical car crash, requiring specific steps to protect your health and your potential claim:

  1. Move to Safety (If Possible): Since motorcycles offer no physical protection, riders are often thrown from their bikes. If you’re able, move to a safe area to avoid further injury from passing vehicles.
  2. Check Your Gear: Document any damage to your protective gear, including helmets, gloves, and riding jackets. This evidence can help demonstrate the severity of the impact and the steps you took to protect yourself.
  3. Call Emergency Services: Always contact 911, even if injuries seem minor. Motorcycle accidents often result in hidden injuries like internal bleeding or head trauma that need immediate attention.
  4. Take Photos of the Scene and Your Bike: Take photos of your bike’s position, any skid marks, road hazards, and damage to your motorcycle.
  5. Preserve Evidence of Road Conditions: Uneven pavement, debris, or poor signage often contribute to motorcycle accidents. Document these conditions as they could play a role in determining liability.
  6. Get Witness Information: Motorcycles are more vulnerable to driver negligence, like cars changing lanes without checking blind spots. Witnesses can provide critical testimony about how the accident occurred.
  7. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Injuries in motorcycle accidents can be severe, even if they aren’t immediately apparent. Make sure to get a thorough evaluation and keep records of your diagnosis and treatment.
  8. Avoid Repairing or Moving Your Motorcycle Right Away: Your bike may serve as vital evidence in your case. Wait until your attorney advises you before making any repairs.
  9. Contact a Motorcycle Accident Attorney: Given the unique risks and biases motorcyclists face, it’s essential to consult an attorney who understands the complexities of motorcycle accident claims.

Following these steps can help protect your rights and strengthen your case. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, reach out to our firm today for personalized guidance.

What Damages Can Be Recovered?

How much a motorcycle accident settlement is depends on many factors, including the specific injuries and losses you’ve suffered. The average motorcycle accident settlement includes compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: Covers costs for hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, and ongoing treatments.
  • Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost due to missed work while recovering.
    Future Loss of Earnings: Compensation for reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work or you cannot do the same job you did before.
  • Property Damage: Repairs or replacement of your motorcycle and any damaged gear, like helmets or riding apparel.
  • Pain and Suffering: Addresses physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life due to your injuries.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the negative impact on your relationship with your spouse or family.
  • Punitive Damages: In rare cases, meant to punish the at-fault party for egregious negligence, such as driving under the influence.

Each of these damages reflects the unique challenges that motorcyclists face after an accident, helping to address both immediate and long-term impacts.

Negligence & Your Claim

Negligence plays a significant role in determining who is liable in a motorcycle accident case. Alabama follows a contributory negligence rule, meaning if you are found even slightly at fault (1%), you may be barred from recovering damages. If you want to recover damages, you have to build a solid case proving the other party’s responsibility. An experienced Montgomery motorcycle accident lawyer from our office can help gather evidence, such as eyewitness accounts and accident reconstructions, to demonstrate that negligence led to your injuries and secure the compensation you may deserve.

Montgomery Motorcycle Accident Statistics

A recent study ranked Alabama as the 10th deadliest state for motorcyclists, with alcohol playing a role in over 80% of fatal crashes. These statistics highlight how negligence, whether by impaired riding or failure to follow safety laws, can significantly impact injury claims. When alcohol or other risky behaviors contribute to an accident, it can complicate liability and compensation. That’s why it’s so important to work with a motorcycle accident attorney who understands how to navigate these complexities and fight for the compensation you may deserve.

What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?

Motorcycle accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. The exact cause will vary based on the situation. It’s essential to recognize the potential causes to understand how to stay safe, and it’s important to remember that in cases of accidents caused by someone else’s carelessness, you shouldn’t blame yourself. If your accident occurred due to any of the following examples of recklessness or any others, you may be entitled to compensation.

  • Cars changing lanes without looking
  • Parked cars suddenly opening their doors
  • Driving under the influence
  • Speeding
  • Cars turning left when they don’t see a motorcycle
  • Road hazards

Have You Suffered Any of These Injuries?

Injuries in a motorcycle accident can be particularly severe. If you’ve suffered any of the following injuries from an accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is quite serious, as damage to the brain can fundamentally alter your life forever. Most fatal accidents feature TBIs.

Your spinal cord is one of the most essential parts of your body. If it gets damaged in a motorcycle accident, you could suffer permanent paralysis.

These are the most common types of injuries in a motorcycle crash. They include any kind of injury to the legs and feet, including soft-tissue damage and bone fractures.

Blunt force trauma can cause serious injuries that aren’t visible from the outside because they don’t break the skin. These injuries include internal bleeding and organ damage.

How Can a Lawyer Help?

If you’ve been hurt by a reckless or careless driver, a Montgomery, AL, motorcycle accident lawyer like Those Thumbs Up Guys® can be the solution to fighting for the compensation you deserve. It doesn’t matter whether the other driver was asleep at the wheel, on a cell phone, under the influence, or even just didn’t pay attention, you deserve compensation.

The law, however, can be complicated. When you’re being challenged by aggressive insurance adjusters, you may feel threatened, stressed, and upset. That’s understandable. The right motorcycle accident lawyer should make you feel safe and treat you like a member of their own family. They will be your partner and your best ally in the fight for compensation. They will be a compassionate ear when you need one.

At Floyd Hunter Injury Law, our lawyers can help you avoid critical mistakes, like signing away your rights to compensation or missing a vital filing date. We can help you navigate the complicated laws in Alabama, like shared fault laws, and build a strong case to fight for compensation by putting together everything from doctor’s bills to witness testimony to your personal journals. We can take over communications with those insurance adjusters so you don’t have to worry about it. The right lawyer may even point you towards compensation you didn’t know you could get.

Your attorney will take on the fight so you can focus on what’s important: getting better and getting your life back.

Montgomery Motorcycle Accident FAQs

Motorcycles are more susceptible to road hazards than cars, so if you were injured in a single-vehicle accident due to something like a road hazard, you may still have a case.

When you work with us, you won’t have to worry about payment unless you receive a settlement. We work on a contingency fee basis, so we won’t charge you a thing unless we’ve won your case.

There’s no law in Alabama requiring you to have a lawyer, and you can technically represent yourself. That being said, you’re going up against an insurance company and lawyers that know how to use the law. Having an attorney like Those Thumbs Up Guys® can give you the best shot at fighting for compensation.

The simple answer to this question is no! The insurance adjuster is not your friend. They have one job, and that’s to get you to agree to a lowball offer or sign away your rights altogether. You are never obligated to talk to the adjuster. Don’t talk to them and never sign anything. Instead, direct them to your motorcycle accident lawyers, Those Thumbs Up Guys® at Floyd Hunter Injury Law.

Don't wait, talk to us today!
