Failure to See Motorcycles, Failure to Yield
Operating a motorcycle can be both necessary and exhilarating, but it can also be dangerous. Worse, too many times insurance companies instinctively blame the motorcyclist, rather than focusing on other parties to the accident.

At Gray, Ritter & Graham in St. Louis, our personal injury attorneys know the dangers you face while riding a motorcycle and how important it is to establish how and why an accident happened.
- Failure to see or yield to a motorcyclist are common causes of motorcycle accidents. Car and truck drivers are focused on where they are going, and they tend to notice other cars and trucks — not motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians.
- Motorcycle accident injuries are frequently serious, even life-changing or fatal. Multiple fractures are common. The biker can suffer a serious head injury, even when wearing a helmet. Resulting road rash, spinal cord injuries and other serious injuries require extensive medical care.
- Accident reconstruction and witness interviews can help determine exactly what happened in a motorcycle accident.
Serious injuries require significant compensation.
It can take multiple surgeries and long-term treatment to recover from motorcycle accident injuries. Full compensation should account for medical expenses, future medical needs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Contact us for a consultation. Our personal injury lawyers represent clients in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and the surrounding region who have been injured in a motorcycle accident.
