Motorcycle Accidents
The public is prejudiced against motorcycles and other drivers often fail to see them or drive in a manner that subjects cyclists to harm. The result of collisions with motorcycles is often fatality, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury.
The Ausband Firm has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of motorcycle crash victims and families of riders who were killed by the negligent actions of others.
The Catastrophic Impact of Motorcycle Accidents
Even motorcyclists obeying traffic laws and wearing protective gear are at a huge disadvantage in a collision with a motor vehicle. Injuries often include brain damage, paralysis, back injury, and amputation of limbs, as well as fractures, severe burns, or "road rash." When these major injuries occur, we consult with medical experts to determine the future or even lifelong of medical needs such as reconstructive surgery, vocational rehabilitation, medical equipment and medications.
Securing Compensation for Motorcycle Victims
Often jurors are not familiar with motorcycles or generally consider them inherently dangerous. Safe and proper operation of a motorcycle is not dangerous but injuries are usually worse than occupants of a car because a rider is exposed. However, motorists owe motorcycle drivers the same respect and duty to obey the rules of the road as they do to the drivers of cars or trucks. We often employ human factors experts, as well as motorcycle experts, to testify about reaction times and actions by the other driver that made the accident unavoidable for the victim.
Victims can recover lost wages and future earnings, medical bills and projected health care costs, as well as damages for pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. In fatal motorcycle crashes, we help surviving family members sue for wrongful death damages, lost earnings, loss of consortium, and emotional pain, etc.
In preparing for trial or settlement, The Ausband Firm uses focus groups and jury simulations to fine tune the presentation so a jury will be sympathetic to the case. We use modern resources such as video and power point presentations to gain the maximum recovery of compensation.
