Riders are hurt far more often by drivers who “didn’t see” them, yet adjusters and juries often assume the motorcyclist was reckless. Injuries are severe and recovery long. A motorcycle accident lawyer counters the bias with reconstruction and witness evidence, and builds a damages case that covers surgeries, rehabilitation and lost earning capacity.
