Gastonia, NC Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Riding a motorcycle is more than just a pastime—it is a lifestyle. And while motorcyclists around Gastonia appreciate the gorgeous views and bevy of roads to travel, the truth is that danger lurks around every bend for the motorcyclist and his passengers. In the blink of an eye, a serious motorcycle accident can occur, leaving bikers with devastating injuries, or in worst-case scenarios, deceased.

At Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC, we know how harrowing such accidents can be, not just for the survivors who are left with life-altering injuries, but for their families too. Our motorcycle accident attorneys have a long history of helping injured people recover compensation in accidents that result from the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, and they are ready to help you file your claim.

Shocking Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Motorcycles, by design, can be dangerous, because of the fact that they lack any type of buffer between the rider and other objects/people/cars on the road. It is no small wonder that up to 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. After all, riders and passengers are easily thrown from their motorcycles with even the slightest impact. NC Department of Transportation statistics shows that in 2020, there were 3,409 motorcycle accidents. Of those, 2,805 individuals were left injured, and 176 individuals died as a result of the motorcycle crash. These figures underscore the fact that when it comes to cars versus motorcycles, standard passenger autos nearly always come out on top.

Devastating Injuries

Because of the lack of protection surrounding operators and passengers of motorcycles, the injuries sustained during a motorcycle crash can be quite serious. It is not unusual for claimants to have suffered multiple life-changing injuries in seconds during a motorcycle wreck. Some of the more common injuries include:

• Broken bones.
• Burns.
• Crushing injuries.
• Amputations.
• Internal injuries.
• Road rash.
• Serious lacerations and cuts.
• Spinal cord injuries.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
• Injuries to vision/eyesight.

While broken bones and cuts heal, some injuries experienced due to a motorcycle accident require lifelong care and exhausting physical therapy and rehabilitation for the claimant to reclaim some sense of normalcy in their lives. In many sad instances, claimants are never the same again, such as when a traumatic brain injury causes cognitive deficits and families are left with a loved one who is changed forever. Our seasoned Gastonia, NC motorcycle accident attorneys understand the challenges facing individual claimants and their families following a violent motorcycle crash. Our legal team works tirelessly to right every wrong and hold the responsible party accountable to our clients and their loved ones.
