Motorcycle Accident Attorney in North Carolina

What to do if involved in a Motorcycle Accident

Although riding a motorcycle is a fun and economical mode of transportation, it can also be extremely dangerous due to the carelessness of other drivers.  Statistics show that motorcycle driving is much more dangerous than being in a car.  According to the NHTSA (National Highway Safety Transportation Administration), "Per vehicle mile traveled in 2006, motorcyclists were about 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 8 times more likely to be injured."  One main cause of motorcycle wrecks is that people simply don't see you.  How many times have cars pulled out in front of you, or merged over in your lane?  Countless times, I am sure.  Even though motorcycles are visible- you still have to look.  Failure to keep a proper lookout is negligence in North Carolina. 

It is obvious that if you are in a motorcycle accident, you can sustain serious, if not fatal, injuries.  Personal injury Attorney James Roane knows what it is like to be injured in an accident, having suffered from one himself. He is well aware of the consequences and how difficult it is to get an insurance company to compensate you for your losses. But fortunately for you, Attorney Roane has the experience and knowledge to represent you and do his best to aggressively pursue a settlement on your behalf.

Motorcycle accidents can occur due to the negligence of other drivers caused by inattention, disregarding traffic laws, cell phone use, or speeding.  Unfortunately, if you or a loved one has been involved in such an accident, you likely will sustain severe injuries such as spinal and brain injuries, fractures, comas, even loss of life.   Some do not survive such an accident, or are hospitalized for a lengthy period of time.  With Attorney Roane on your side, we will move quickly to fully investigate your case so as not to lose vital information such as vehicle inspections and witness statements. When dealing with a personal injury, experience and reputation matters.  This is especially important in motorcycle wreck cases, as there is somewhat of a bias with insurance companies.  Some insurance companies will delay settlement or offer low settlements for motorcycle wrecks, because they believe that jurors will be biased against the driver.  Therefore, many of these motorcycle accidents require some litigation before a fair settlement can occur.
