Car Accidents Involving Motorcycles

Due to their obvious lack of protection and a higher risk of ejection from their vehicles, motorcyclists are more vulnerable to serious injuries in accidents that involve another passenger vehicle, such as a car or truck.

If you were hurt in a motorcycle vs. car accident that was caused by the negligence of another driver, the Virginia Beach personal injury attorneys at Cooper Hurley are ready to listen to your story and help you recover the financial compensation you need for resulting medical costs, lost earnings, property damage, and pain and suffering. Because motor vehicle accidents that involve a motorcycle and car often result in severe injuries, it’s important to work with an experienced and compassionate lawyer who will fight for the money you need and peace of mind you deserve.

Although motorcyclists are bound by some specific regulations that do not apply to car drivers, riders and passenger vehicle operators are generally bound by the same essential rules of the road. Like other types of traffic collisions, most accidents involving motorcycles and cars are preventable and are the result of a single driver’s carelessness.

While any accident can result in injuries, motorcycle accidents involve a greater risk of severe injuries such as:

• Brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Amputation injuries
• Fractured or shattered bones
