Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be caused by driver inexperience, errors by other drivers, and even mechanical failure. Here are some of the most common situations that cause collisions, whether due to driver error or actions by other parties.
Speeding is a contributing factor in 26 percent of all fatal auto accidents. All motorists must abide by the speed limit to ensure road safety.
Alcohol contributes to approximately 28 percent of all traffic-related fatalities. This is why no one should operate a vehicle while intoxicated.
Roughly 22 percent of auto accidents occur when someone is making a left turn. Extra caution needs to be observed while at intersections.
Cellphone use, rubbernecking, and inattention can all contribute to a collision. Motorists must keep their eyes on the road and stay focused.
Any events that impair vision or reduce traction can increase the chances of a crash. Rain, snow, and road debris are all potential hazards.
Faulty tires, unresponsive brakes, and other issues with vehicle parts and maintenance can make an otherwise safe motorcycle dangerous.
Startling Statistics on Motorcycle Crashes
Nationally, motorcycle accident fatalities were down five percent in 2018, but that is no reason to disregard their severity. While motorcycles only account for three percent of all vehicles in the state, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission estimates that motorcycle collisions account for 15 percent of all fatal crashes and 19 percent of all injury accidents.

Many motorcycle accident survivors face dramatic changes to their lives because of the injuries they've sustained. Our Bellevue motorcycle accident attorneys take the long-term effects of accident injuries into account whenever they advocate for their clients.
Permanent Disability
Spinal cord injuries and severe nerve damage can result in lifelong mobility issues. In such cases, motorcycle accident survivors are wheelchair dependent and need assistance to accomplish daily tasks.Mental and Psychological Health

Taking proper action after a motorcycle or car accident allows you and your loved ones to get immediate medical attention while ensuring your ability to pursue legal action. We encourage motorcycle riders to follow these tips after any sort of crash.
Remain at the scene even if your motorcycle can be normally operated. Move vehicles out of the path of traffic if you can do so safely.
If you or anyone at the scene of the crash needs medical attention, do not hesitate to dial 9-1-1. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Exchange contact and insurance information with other drivers involved. Also take the information of any witnesses on the scene.
Take photos of vehicle damage and the accident scene. This can be used as evidence in your insurance claim and in your lawsuit.
Do not apologize or admit any sort of culpability while on the scene. It may be viewed as an admission of fault for the auto accident.
Before accepting a settlement from the insurance company, be sure to speak with a motorcycle accident lawyer about the crash.

"Five stars is not enough" Bellevue Injury Lawyers Who Care about Their Clients
Mike Smith
2019
My wife had PTSD after a really bad crash. She hated dealing with anything related to her crash because it added onto her anxiety. Another attorney she had spoken to said she would have to do this or that, thus leading to more anxiety, whereas Matt Quick took care of everything, thus putting her at ease. It was also very important for my wife to hire someone whom is honest and fair, while looking out for his or her client's best interest. It was such a relief for my wife to have someone she could trust handle everything for her.

2018
Five stars is not enough. From the first day we spoke until the case was completed, the lawyers at this firm were very responsive, sympathetic, and extremely professional. In addition to keeping me well informed, they explained all of the legal and medical issues in plain English. I also know for a fact they spent many hours dealing with many people who were "less than cooperative." I can say without question, should the need arise you will be smart to read about the others, and then hire the Quick Law Group!

Legal Settlements and Damages in a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit
Pre-trial settlements and legal damages will help cover the financial losses and hardships experienced following a motorcycle accident. Here is an explanation of how they differ and how they are calculated in personal injury and wrongful death cases.
Pre-Trial Settlement
A pre-trial settlement is negotiated before going to court. This prevents details of the motorcycle accident from being released to the public, and avoids a drawn-out battle in court. We will help negotiate the fairest settlement possible.
Legal Damages
Legal damages are sought as part of a civil trial. There are two kinds of damages: compensatory damages that cover the financial and material losses associated with the crash, and punitive damages that punish the negligent party.
