Attorney for Motorcyclist Injuries Caused by Negligent Drivers in Leesburg, VA

Personal Injury Car Accidents Truck Accident Wrongful Death

Motorcyclists enjoy the freedom of the open road, but they are also exposed to significant dangers when sharing the road with larger vehicles. Unlike people in cars and trucks, motorcyclists have little protection in a collision, and they are vulnerable to severe or catastrophic injuries. Many motorcycle accidents occur because drivers fail to see motorcycles or do not give them the space and respect they deserve on the road.

Whitlock Law helps motorcyclists in Leesburg, Virginia who have been injured in crashes caused by negligent drivers. We can provide assistance throughout the legal process, building strong cases against negligent drivers and fighting for the financial compensation victims need to address the devastating consequences of these accidents. We work to ensure that our clients will receive the full compensation they deserve to address medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.

Why Motorcyclists Face a Higher Risk of Injury

Motorcycles are smaller, lighter, and less visible than other vehicles. When a collision occurs, motorcyclists lack the protective frame, airbags, and seatbelts that shield drivers and passengers in cars or trucks. Motorcyclists may be knocked off their bikes in a collision, causing them to strike the pavement or other objects with tremendous force.

Due to these factors, motorcycle accidents are likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Injury victims will need to understand what steps they can take to recover compensation. Some accidents may be fatal, and a victim's family members may need to take steps to file a wrongful death claim that will help address their losses.

Driver Negligence Leading to Motorcycle Accidents

Many motorcycle crashes occur because drivers fail to operate their vehicles safely around motorcyclists. Common examples of negligent driving behavior include:

Distracted Driving: Drivers may not notice nearby motorcycles due to distractions such as texting, using GPS navigation, adjusting the radio or environmental controls, grooming, or reaching for objects in their vehicle. This may cause them to cut a motorcycle off, collide with a motorcycle in an intersection, or injure a motorcyclist in another type of accident.
Unsafe Lane Changes: A driver may fail to notice that a motorcycle is in their blind spot, especially if they are distracted or if they do not take care to notice what is happening around their vehicle. When changing lanes, a driver may sideswipe a motorcycle, knocking a rider off their bike or running them off the road.
Failure to Yield: Drivers who turn left or right at intersections may turn directly into a motorcyclist's path. A motorcyclist may be unable to avoid colliding with a vehicle that has turned in front of them, or a vehicle may strike a motorcycle from the side, knocking the rider off the bike or into other lanes of traffic.
Tailgating: When following too closely behind a motorcycle, a driver will have little room to stop. When a motorcyclist needs to slow down or stop, the driver following them may collide with them from the rear, causing serious damage.
Driving Under the Influence: When a driver has been drinking alcohol or using drugs, they will be more likely to lose control and strike motorcyclists. Blurred vision or related issues can cause a driver to fail to see motorcycles. Problems with coordination may make it impossible for a driver to avoid a collision. A person's judgment may be affected, causing them to engage in unsafe behaviors like speeding or weaving through traffic, which may lead to dangerous motorcycle accidents.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Because motorcyclists have little protection, crashes often result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment. These injuries may include:

Road Rash and Soft Tissue Damage: Contact with the road can cause deep abrasions, infections, and permanent scarring. Other tissues may be damaged due to sprains, dislocated joints, or other injuries in a collision.
Spinal Cord Injuries: When a person is struck by a vehicle or lands on the ground, their back and spine may be injured. When the spinal cord is severed, compressed, or damaged in other ways, a person may experience paralysis, including quadriplegia or paraplegia.
Traumatic Brain Injuries: Even when wearing a helmet, a motorcyclist may suffer head injuries and brain damage. Severe brain trauma can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, emotional disorders, seizures, chronic headaches, and numerous other symptoms that can affect a person's quality of life.
Fractures: The impact of a collision can lead to broken or shattered bones. Fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, or other parts of the body can limit a person's mobility for an extended period of time, and they may have permanent effects.
Amputations: When a motorcyclist's limbs are crushed between vehicles or against the ground, severe damage may occur, resulting in the loss of arms, legs, or other body parts.
Internal Organ Damage: Internal bleeding can occur when a motorcyclist is struck by a vehicle. Multiple organs may also be damaged, and surgery or transplants may be required to help prevent life-threatening conditions.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests.
