Motorcyclists face risks that most drivers never think about, and when something goes wrong, the injuries can be catastrophic. What makes it even harder is that motorcycle accident cases are not like typical car accident cases. There are unique legal challenges, real bias against riders, and obstacles that can cost you the compensation you deserve if you don’t have the right attorney in your corner.
Alison Mason Heurich, Esq., is an aggressive Maryland motorcycle accident attorney who has spent years fighting for injured riders and their families. With over $25 million recovered for clients and more than 1,000 cases handled, she knows how to win.
How Motorcycle Accidents Are Different
Motorcycle accident claims present challenges that are rarely seen in standard car accident cases. Some of these challenges are deeply unfair, but they are real, and they must be addressed head-on. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney anticipates these obstacles before they become problems.
One of the biggest issues is bias. Bias against motorcyclists exists, and it can affect everyone involved in your case, from eyewitnesses and responding officers to insurance adjusters, judges, and jurors. Even some attorneys don’t take motorcycle cases seriously. Alison Mason Heurich is not one of them.
Another major challenge is the lack of reliable witnesses. You may not even remember the crash due to the severity of your injuries. Bystanders who don’t ride motorcycles often misunderstand how and why these accidents happen. And serious injuries are far more common in motorcycle crashes than in car accidents, which means the stakes for getting your compensation right are extremely high.
What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?
In most cases involving a motorcycle and another vehicle, driver negligence is to blame. This includes situations with direct contact and situations where a negligent driver forces a motorcyclist to take evasive action, causing a crash even without a collision. Common examples of driver negligence in motorcycle accidents include:
-
A driver making a left-hand turn into the path of an oncoming motorcycle, violating the rider’s right of way
-
A driver changing lanes directly into a motorcycle
-
A driver merging into a motorcycle’s lane and forcing the rider to swerve or crash
-
Following too closely behind a motorcycle
Why You Need an Experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Insurance companies know that motorcycle accident victims are vulnerable. They count on bias, confusion, and a lack of legal representation to minimize or deny your claim. Without an attorney who understands the specific dynamics of motorcycle accident cases, you could walk away with far less than you need to cover your medical bills, lost income, and long-term care.
Alison Mason Heurich knows how to push back. She builds strong cases by investigating the accident thoroughly, challenging bias wherever it appears, and fighting for the full and fair compensation her clients deserve, both for immediate needs and for the years ahead.
