Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Injury lawyers serving Kentucky and Indiana
Motorcycle drivers on Kentucky and Indiana highways are at a much greater risk for serious injury than the passenger vehicle drivers sharing the road. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that motorcycle drivers were 37 times more likely to die in a crash in 2007 and nine times more likely to be injured than those in passenger vehicles.
Drivers in cars are protected by a 3,000-pound steel cage, airbags, and seatbelts, while motorcycle accident victims have only the clothes on their backs and a helmet to stand between them and the asphalt. Because of this, motorcycle accident injuries can be severe and life-threatening even if the accident seems minor at first.

Protect Yourself
Kentucky and Indiana auto accident victims can take several steps to protect their rights to compensation.
-
Don't sign anything from an insurance adjustor. Insurance adjustors might show up at the scene of the auto accident and ask leading or incriminating questions. You may be giving up rights to future compensation by signing anything.
-
Gather information from witnesses, including contact information. Take note of phrases used, such as, "The black car was weaving all over the road," or "that truck flew through the intersection."
-
See your doctor as soon as possible and follow all of his recommendations. Remember that you have the right to choose your own doctor. Don't let the insurance adjustor choose one for you.
-
Inform your insurance company. Any delays reporting your car accident could cause difficulties for your case.
-
Contact the injury lawyers at Woods and Woods. We have the experience and knowledge to help get the compensation you deserve.
We Can Help
Unfortunately, motorcycle drivers are also saddled with a bad reputation for speeding and driving recklessly and insurance companies sometimes don't play fair. In reality, passenger vehicle drivers often cause motorcycle accidents by failing to look properly or allow enough space when changing lanes or by rolling through stop signs and intersections without thinking.
Indiana and Kentucky motorcycle accident victims have the same rights to compensation as other drivers and need someone to stand up against these stereotypes. The Evansville motorcycle accident attorneys at Woods and Woods have successfully defended the rights of motorcycle accident victims in and out of court throughout the region, and we can help you when you've been injured.
