The Deck Is Stacked Against Motorcyclists

When a motorcycle accident happens, insurers move fast. They know juries and adjusters often carry bias against motorcyclists, and they use it to shift the blame by claiming you were speeding or reckless.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the other driver says it’s my fault?

The stakes vary by state: Florida and Georgia use modified comparative negligence, where your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover. Maryland uses contributory negligence, meaning even a small fault could bar your recovery entirely. Either way, having an attorney dispute any fault assigned to you is critical.

Uninsured and underinsured motor coverage on your own policy may cover your losses.

It depends on your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and long-term impact. We give honest assessments based on your actual situation, not inflated estimates. 

Filing deadlines vary across Florida, Georgia, and Maryland. Missing the deadline eliminates your ability to recover compensation. Call us, and we’ll tell you exactly where things stand with your case.
