TACOMA WA MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER

Injured in a Motorcycle Crash in Tacoma?

Motorcycle riders face much greater danger and less protection on the road. When a crash occurs, injuries are often severe or life-changing. Worse still, insurance companies are quick to blame the rider, even if they weren’t at fault.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Tacoma or anywhere in Pierce County, you need someone who understands what you’re facing. At Morgan Hill PC, we help injured riders secure the compensation they deserve, and we stand firm against insurers trying to shift the blame.

Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Are Different

Motorcycle injury cases are different from car accident claims. Here’s why:

• Riders are more likely to suffer serious injuries
• Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the motorcycle
• Jurors and adjusters may assume the rider was reckless
• Police reports don’t always reflect the full story
• The costs of treatment and long-term care can be much higher

We know how to overcome these challenges and present your case effectively to achieve results.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Many motorcycle accidents happen because of negligent drivers who:

• Turn left in front of oncoming riders
• Merge without checking blind spots
• Tailgate or follow too closely
• Open doors into a rider’s path
• Drive distracted or impaired

Even a small mistake by a driver can lead to serious consequences for a motorcyclist.

Injuries and Long-Term Consequences

Motorcycle injuries are often devastating, and riders may face months or years of recovery. We frequently handle claims involving:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and crushed limbs
• Severe road rash and scarring
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Amputations and permanent disabilities

If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, we’ll ensure you’re not stuck with the costs.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on your situation, you might be eligible for compensation for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and trauma
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Motorcycle repairs or total loss
• Wrongful death, if you lost a loved one

We’ll collaborate with medical and financial professionals to determine the true value of your claim.

FAQ: Motorcycle Accidents in Washington

Q: What if the other driver says they didn’t see me?

A: That’s common, but it doesn’t excuse negligence. We’ll gather witness statements, camera footage, and forensic evidence to establish fault.

Q: Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

A: Yes, although your compensation might be decreased. Washington mandates helmets, but not wearing one doesn’t automatically prevent you from recovering damages.

Q: How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

A: You usually have three years in Washington, but evidence disappears quickly. Reach out to us as soon as possible.

Q: Do I need a lawyer for a motorcycle accident?

A: Absolutely. Insurance companies tend to be more aggressive with riders. Having an attorney protects your rights and helps ensure you get a fair settlement.
