(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 19, 2008 ) Motorcycle accidents are responsible for approximately 90,000 injuries per year. It is also estimated approximately 5,000 motorcycle riders and passengers die annually in bike crashes. According to “The Hurt Report,” a study analyzing motorcycle accidents, motorcycle crashes typically involve collisions with passenger automobiles (cars or trucks). Most frequently, the driver of the passenger vehicle violated the motorcyclist’s right-of-way, causing the accident.

When a motorcycle crash occurs, it is most important to seek medical attention. After receiving medical attention, it is a good idea to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer that handles motorcycle cases. The choice of an attorney can severely impact the outcome of a motorcycle accident lawsuit. The legal system has many intricacies that are difficult for a layperson to navigate. A lawyer familiar with motorcycle crash lawsuits will be able to best serve the needs of injury victims and their families.
In a recent Missouri motorcycle accident lawsuit, a couple injured in a motorcycle crash were unable to recover full compensation for the personal injuries they suffered. The couple was riding their motorcycle, when two motorcyclists ahead of them collided and caused them to crash. Both suffered injuries that required more than $100,000.00 in medical treatment and caused over $20,000 in lost wages.

The couple was advised to settle with their insurance company for $50,000 and signed a release that prevented any further claims in relation to the motorcycle accident. Even though the two motorcycle riders did not understand the release form, the settlement prevented them from bringing further suits in accordance with the same claim. If they would have contacted an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, the attorney could have made sure to protect their interests in a way that would have allowed them to move forward against other possible insurance policies.
In the legal world there is a concept called res judicata, which translates to “the matter has already been judged.” For example, if you bring a claim against someone and there has been a final judgment on that matter, generally you can no longer bring a lawsuit on that same claim against the same party again. Essentially the claim is precluded.
This case exemplifies the need for an experienced personal injury attorney after a serious motorcycle accident. A personal injury lawsuit after a motorcycle accident could be one of the most important decisions of your life if you are suffering from serious injuries. A lawsuit could be the key to getting you the compensation you deserve and the money you need to take care of current and future medical bills.
