Your Guide to Motorcycle Accident in Alabama

James Helm, Personal Injury Lawyer

The Harsh Reality of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries and fatalities compared to other motor vehicle crashes. The lack of protective enclosures, combined with the smaller size and reduced visibility of motorcycles, leaves riders vulnerable on Alabama’s roads.

Types of injuries commonly associated with motorcycle accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Road rash and severe abrasions
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Internal organ damage
  • Amputations
  • Severe lacerations and contusions

Motorcycle crash injuries can lead to long-term disabilities, extensive medical treatments, and significant financial burdens. An Alabama motorcycle accident lawyer within TopDog Law’s network can help you recover compensation for all your medical expenses and much more. 

Types of Motorcycle Crashes in Alabama

Motorcycle accidents can happen anywhere, anytime. As a rider, drive defensively and stay vigilant for negligent drivers. However, even though you could be the safest rider out there, you can’t always avoid the careless actions of others. Some of the most common motorcycle accidents are:

  • Left-turn collisions: You’re riding along the road when, suddenly, a car turns left in front of you. These crashes often happen at intersections when drivers fail to look, or they misjudge your speed.
  • Rear-end accidents: You’ve stopped at a red light, but the car behind you doesn’t. Rear-end collisions can cause serious injuries, even at low speeds.
  • Sideswipes: When a car drifts into your lane, fails to see you in their blind spot, or doesn’t yield properly, their negligent lane changes or merges can cause you to lose control of your motorcycle
  • Head-on collisions: While less common, head-on collisions are extremely deadly for motorcycle riders. Motorists driving the wrong way may cause them, but they’re usually a result of negligent or reckless passing.
  • Dooring accidents: In urban areas, a parked car’s door suddenly opens in your path, leaving you little time to react.

Each of these scenarios presents unique challenges in proving fault and securing compensation. If you’ve been involved in any form of motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault, TopDog Law can connect you with a skilled Alabama motorcycle accident lawyer who will fight relentlessly for the justice and compensation you deserve.

Safeguarding Your Interests After a Motorcycle Accident

The actions you take or don’t can affect your motorcycle claim and your ability to collect maximum compensation substantially. To protect your rights and safeguard your case, consider taking these measures:

  • Seek medical attention. Even if you walked away from the crash relatively unscathed, get checked out by a doctor. Some injuries may not manifest immediately. A thorough medical evaluation also creates an official record of your injuries.
  • Call TopDog Law. You will need an experienced Alabama motorcycle accident lawyer if you want the compensation you deserve. Insurance adjusters won’t willingly hand it to you. A skilled lawyer will manage all aspects of your case, including the insurance companies.
  • Document everything. If possible, photograph and take detailed notes of your injuries, motorcycle damage, and the accident scene with photographs and detailed notes. 
  • Don’t post about your accident or injuries on social media. Insurance adjusters often monitor social media platforms, looking for material they could potentially use to undermine your claim.
  • Maintain a detailed account. Keep a journal documenting your physical symptoms, emotional state, and how the injuries affect your daily life. 
  • Preserve all accident-related documents. Medical bills, receipts, proof of out-of-pocket expenses, damaged property and more help demonstrate the financial strain the motorcycle crash has had on you and your family. 

By taking these proactive steps, you’re not just protecting your rights – you’re laying the groundwork for a solid claim.

Why You Need a Lawyer to Handle The Insurance Companies

After a motorcycle crash, you might think dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance company is straightforward. It’s not. 

 

Insurance adjusters try to minimize payouts, or they may deny claims altogether, especially for motorcycle accident victims. They may pressure you to accept a quick, low settlement, knowing that the accident may be quickly draining your savings.

Insurance companies have teams of lawyers on their side. You deserve the same advantage. With a proven Alabama motorcycle accident attorney fighting for you, you can focus on healing while they work to secure maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.

How an Alabama Motorcycle Accident Attorney Will Help You

Insurance and damage caps, liability laws, proving negligence, and critical filing deadlines are some of the legal complexities you face after being injured in a motorcycle accident. Navigating any one of these issues can be overwhelmingly difficult without an experienced attorney by your side.

Call TopDog Law. They will connect you with an experienced Alabama motorcycle accident lawyer who will:

  • Investigate your case and back it with solid evidence
  • Handle all communications with the insurance companies
  • Fully and accurately value your claim, including future expenses
  • Aggressively  negotiate for the settlement you deserve

Compensation Available in Motorcycle Accident Cases

An Alabama motorcycle accident lawyer from TopDog Law’s network can help you pursue compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

A qualified lawyer from TopDog’s legal network will work with you to determine the full scope and value of your damages. They will fight for your maximum compensation and won’t back down until you get every dollar you deserve.

The Importance of Timely Legal Action

Alabama has a strict two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Failing to file within this timeframe can result in losing your right to compensation. 

Additionally, surveillance footage, dashcam videos, crash scene evidence, and other evidence that is important to your case can eventually be lost or destroyed. Contacting TopDog Law as soon as you can will connect you with a proven Alabama motorcycle accident lawyer who will start preserving key evidence and building your case immediately.
