We think about these people every single time we get a call for a new motorcycle case. Our firm members and staff have also suffered personal losses in their families in past years. Some of these losses were while the people were on motorcycles. Carabin Shaw understands motorcycle accident type losses and will work tirelessly to make those responsible for the injuries pay for your damages.

A motorcycle involved accident is a complicated occurrence involving interaction between vehicles, humans, and different environmental factors. There is no such thing as a "typical" motorcycle accident. What can be considered "typical" is a violent occurrence in almost all motorcycle crashes.

At least 80 percent of every reported accident involving a motorcycle also involves death or serious injury for the motorcycle rider and/or passengers.

• The motorcycle itself lacks head injury protection and provides no help preventing injuries to the rider or passenger.
• Getting ejected from the motorcycle is an unfortunately common injury cause.
• If a sudden stop results for the motorcycle and the passengers and/or rider are ejected out of the motorcycle, they can forcibly strike any object in their path as well as roughly impact the ground itself.

Motorcycle injuries can generally be more significant and take longer to rehabilitate from. Thus, they can be more expensive. As an example, insurance industry data indicates that...

• 23% of injured motorcycle accident claimants have multiple bodily locations for their injuries;
• 18% suffer permanent disability from a head injury;
• 10% of injured claimants have severe injuries to the spine or back. Permanent quadriplegia or quadriplegia sometimes results from these injuries.

This means that at least 50% of claimants involved in a motorcycle accident suffer from the kind of life-threatening, disabling injuries from some of which there is no recovery.
