Motorcycle enthusiasts appreciate Virginia’s spectacular scenery and the feeling of freedom on the open road. However, that same freedom makes those on motorcycles especially vulnerable when an accident occurs. A car’s steel frame absorbs some of the impact in a collision. The motorcyclist has no such protection.
Petersburg Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Petersburg Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
For more than 60 years, the Petersburg motorcycle accident lawyers at Rutter Mills have been helping clients get the money they need after a serious bike accident.
An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer should never charge you anything upfront to take your case. At Rutter Mills, we only work on a contingency basis, so we don’t get paid if you don’t win.
Unfortunately it is not unusual for a collision between a motorcycle and a standard vehicle to result in the destruction of the bike and severe injuries to those on it, while the car itself is hardly damaged and its occupants unharmed. That is the primary reason so many motorcycle and car accidents end up with the cyclist either killed or severely injured.
Many times, the accident results from negligence on the motorist’s part, not that of the cyclist. Because these bikes are so small relative to other vehicles on the road, some drivers simply do not see them until it is too late.
Our Compassionate Team Understands
The Petersburg motorcycle accident lawyers at Rutter Mills understand how such a crash changes your life, and work hard so that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries. For more than 50 years, we have helped clients receive the settlements they deserve and assist with putting their lives back together.
The simplest mistake by the driver of a car can cause an accident– the most frequent causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Poor lookout
- Driving under the influence
- Failure to yield
- Misjudging motorcycle speed
- Not checking blind spots when changing lanes
- Tailgating
Many people are grateful just to be alive after an accident since these crashes cause so many fatalities. Those who do survive may experience severe, often permanent injuries. The most common include:
- Amputation
- Disfigurement
- Internal injuries
- Loss of vision or hearing
- Paralysis
- Quadriplegia
- Traumatic brain injury
In addition to extended hospital stays, many of those disabled will require special equipment and accommodations. Some may end up in nursing home facilities. A lawyer knows the amount of a fair settlement based on the client’s condition and prognosis.
If a family member dies from their injuries, an experienced Petersburg motorcycle accident attorney can help the estate’s personal representative file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the deceased person’s family.
After a serious motorcycle accident, it is crucial to obtain legal advice as soon as possible. Never agree to any negotiations with an insurance company before speaking with an attorney. A Petersburg motorcycle accident lawyer at Rutter Mills offers a free consultation, so call or text 24/7 or complete our online contact form to schedule an appointment.
While most motorcycle accident cases are settled, we will go to trial if the insurance company does not offer a reasonable settlement. There is no fee unless you receive compensation.
