Motorcycle Crashes in Missouri

Most motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Because riders lack a steel frame, airbags, and other protections, they often suffer the worst of any impact. Even at moderate speeds, a single careless act—like an unsafe left turn—can permanently alter a rider’s life.

Common Driver Negligence That Hurts Motorcyclists

Riders have the same right to the road. When a driver violates that right and causes injury, Missouri law allows you to seek damages.

Serious Injuries We See in Motorcycle Cases

We document every consequence—surgeries, rehab, long-term care, lost earning capacity, and how the crash impacts daily life.

Damages & Compensation for Injured Riders

Missouri generally does not cap non-economic damages in standard traffic injury cases. (Medical malpractice claims follow different rules.)

How We Build a Winning Motorcycle Case

• Investigate immediately: preserve crash scene photos, vehicle damage, and rider gear; canvass for surveillance and dash-cam video.
• Reconstruction: analyze sightlines, braking, speed, and impact geometry to counter the “I didn’t see the motorcycle” defense.
• Medical proof: coordinate with specialists and life-care planners to quantify future treatment and costs.
• Economic analysis: calculate lost wages and loss of earning capacity with vocational and economic experts.
• Negotiate & litigate: press insurers for full value; file suit and try the case when offers are unfair.

What To Do After a Motorcycle Crash

• Call 911 and get a medical evaluation—even if you feel okay; symptoms can surface later.
• Call police and obtain an incident report; note witnesses and plate numbers.
• Document the scene: photos of roadway, vehicles, your bike, helmet/gear, and visible injuries.
• Preserve evidence: don’t repair or discard your bike or gear until photographed/inspected.
• Contact us early: we correct report errors, secure video, handle insurers, and protect your claim.

Motorcycle Accident FAQ

What if the driver says they “didn’t see” me?

We reconstruct the crash, analyze sightlines, and use witness/video evidence to prove negligence despite that common excuse.

Do helmets and gear affect my claim?

Protective gear can reduce injury severity, but negligence still turns on the driver’s conduct. We document injuries and causation to maximize recovery.

Should I give a recorded statement to the insurer?

Not without legal advice. Insurers seek statements that minimize payouts. We handle communications and protect your rights.
