Motorcycle Accidents
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety reports that the number of motorcycle crashes in 2007 was 1,623 reported crashes. This was the highest number of motorcycle crashes in the State for the past 17 years.
Contributing Factors include:
- Speeding motorists
- Failure to yield by other vehicles
- Driver inexperience
- Driver inattention or distraction
As a result of your motorcycle accident, you may have medical expenses, lost income, a reduction in your earnings, as well as pain and suffering.
Due to the nature of motorcycles, the injuries are often very significant. Special laws apply to the insuring of motorcycles. You may not have medical coverage as you would for automobile injuries. We won a jury verdict in Blue Earth County on a case where the motorcycle driver lost control while attempting to avoid a collision with a vehicle which failed to yield, even though there was no contact between the vehicles. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle collision, call us for a free consultation.
