THE SANDERS LAW FIRM

Motorcycle Accidents

Because motorcycles have no occupant protections systems, such as seat belts or airbags, many motorcycle crashes result in death or serious injury.  Although it is the general perception of the non-riding community that it is the motorcyclists - not the other automobile drivers - who are the negligent ones causing the accidents, we know that is not true.  Our Managing Partner, Bob Sanders, has been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and has logged over a million miles on bikes.  His main ride has been the 1992 Harley Heritage. Because we walk-the-walk and don’t just talk-the-talk, our motorcycle accident lawyers are expert in motorcycle dynamics and crash analysis.  If you have to go to court to prove who caused the motorcycle accident that led to your injuries or those of a loved one, do you want a lawyer who has ridden a million miles on motorcycles, or a lawyer who wouldn’t know how to start a motorcycle or put it into first gear?  Call the Motorcycle Accident Lawyers at The Sanders Law Firm. We know motorcycles.

Sometimes, motorcycle accidents happen because of a design defect or manufacturing defect in the motorcycle itself.  Our lawyers have handled motorcycle defect cases and recovered lots of money for clients injured by defective motorcycles and equipment.

Car and truck drivers, as well as road conditions, are more often the cause of motorcycle accidents. One of the major causes of motorcycle crashes is automobile drivers who don’t look for or see motorcycles. Many drivers expect to see larger motor vehicles, but ignore motorcycles. Car and truck drivers cause motorcycle crashes by switching lanes without looking for motorcycles, following too closely behind a motorcyclist, or pulling out of side streets in front of an approaching biker. When cars or trucks collide with motorcycles, the bike rider is likely to suffer serious injuries such as paralysis, brain damage, and severe burns or be killed. The driver of the car usually has little or no injury. When a motorcycle collision happens, it is important that the injured motorcycle rider is properly represented by a good lawyer with motorcycle experience. The Sanders Law Firm lawyers are experienced in both motorcycle riding and motorcycle accident litigation. That combination makes them the right lawyers for you.

$1,050,000 Tractor Trailer / Motorcycle Collision Settlement
A motorcyclist and father of two was driving his motorcycle on the highway. A pickup truck pulling an over-loaded utility trailer entered the highway in front of a tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer driver sped up and swerved in an attempt to go around the truck rather than slowing down. The tractor-trailer jack-knifed and struck the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist was killed.
