What Do You Do After a Motorcycle Accident?

Personal Injury
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident your first priority should be to make sure that you have the best medical attention possible without having to worry about who is going to pay for it. Contacting a personal injury Lawyer who has experience dealing with motorcycle accident cases can help relieve some of your fears and anxieties over what the future might bring for you and your family. Motorcycle accidents can often involve severe brain injuries even if the rider was wearing a helmet. For this reason it may be up to the family of the injured party to make sure that he/she has proper legal representation.

Death
If you have a loved one that has been killed in a motorcycle accident your first priority should be to the friends and family of the victim. It is sometimes hard to know what to do after losing a loved one, but you do have choices as to where to go from here. Getting in touch with an Lawyer who has handled cases similar to your own can let you know the full range of options available to you and your family and can help to ease the burden that you carry by making sure that those at fault are held responsible for their negligence.

If you live in British Columbia and have been injured in a motorcycle accident or have a loved one who has died in one, please contact Stephens and Holman Lawyers at Law to set up a free, no-obligation consultation as soon as possible.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are probably the most vulnerable group of motorists on the road because of the relative lack of protection a motorcycle gives its rider. For this reason it is much more likely that a motorcycle rider will be injured or killed in an automobile accident than a person driving a car. Also, motorcycles, unlike other vehicles, are much less visible on the road, making other drivers more likely to hit them.

Motorcycle Accident Statistics
The majority of collisions occur because a motorist failed to see the motorcycle
Less than 5% of accidents occur due to highway defects
75% of incidents involve a collision with another vehicle
Most collisions occur after a vehicle makes a left turn in front of a motorcycle
More severe injuries are much more likely the larger the motorcycle
The majority of injured motorcyclists are between the ages of 16 and 24

As you can see, most accidents involving a car/truck and a motorcycle are caused by the driver of the automobile failing to see or yield the right of way to the motorcyclist. After being in an accident it is important to set the facts straight with a qualified Lawyer to make sure that your medical expenses are covered by the other driver or drivers if it turns out to be their fault.

If you live in British Columbia and have been injured in a motorcycle accident, please contact Stephens and Holman Personal Injury Lawyers as soon as possible to make sure that you have experienced legal representation.

What Do You Do if You or a Loved One Has Suffered a Brain Injury?

The damage that a brain injury can cause goes above and beyond the damage to the victim. This kind of injury can result in the victim not even realizing the kind of damage that has been done, so the burden of these injuries gets laid on friends and family. After making sure that the victim is stable and that friends and family are informed of the circumstances, it is in your best interests to start looking for a personal injury Lawyer who specializes in lawsuits involving brain injury.

Even minor brain injuries can cause life-altering and long-lasting effects. Many times, however, victims of these injuries are released from the hospital without referrals or recommendations to brain injury rehabilitation facilities or given guidance of any kind. Having an experienced personal injury Lawyer will give you access to the kind of guidance you need to get yourself or a loved one into a treatment plan that they may desperately need.

If you live in British Columbia and have recently been a victim of an accident that has resulted in a traumatic brain injury, please contact the law offices of Stephens and Holman to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation and get the guidance and help you deserve.
