Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcycle accidents can result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection compared to cars. As a dedicated personal injury attorney, I understand the unique challenges motorcyclists face after an accident. I fight to ensure you receive maximum compensation for your recovery.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries Require Experienced Representation

Motorcycle riders face unique risks on the road. When accidents happen, the injuries are often more severe than those in car accidents—broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage are common. Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists or minimize the severity of injuries.

With over ten years of experience, including time at a defense firm, I know how insurance companies operate and how to counter their tactics. I fight aggressively to ensure motorcyclists receive fair compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and ongoing care
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Motorcycle repair or replacement

I Understand What You're Going Through

At Amy C Brown Law, I'm more than an attorney—I've experienced trauma myself. Multiple members of my family were killed in a construction-related incident. I vividly remember that horrible day and the days after. I know pain and I understand the pain my clients feel.

Maybe you've never dealt with lawyers before, and trusting one feels daunting. I've been a lawyer for over ten years and have guided countless people through the chaos you may be going through. I'll listen, explain your options clearly, and handle the complexities so you can heal.

Take Timely Action to Protect Your Case

Do not let precious time slip away—acting swiftly is critical to protect your case. Evidence can vanish, and memories of witnesses may fade, jeopardizing your opportunity for a positive resolution. With a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Washington, I urge you to contact me today.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

Common questions about motorcycle crash claims in Washington State.

Insurance companies often harbor bias against motorcyclists, assuming they're reckless or at fault. I understand rider culture and fight back against these stereotypes, ensuring you're treated fairly and your claim isn't unfairly reduced.

'I didn't see the motorcycle' is not a valid defense. Drivers have a duty to look carefully before changing lanes or turning. This excuse actually demonstrates negligence, and I use it to strengthen your case, not weaken it.

Almost never. First offers are typically far below what your case is worth. Insurance companies know motorcycle injuries are often severe, and they try to settle quickly before you understand the full extent of your injuries and damages.

You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage (including your bike), future medical care, and diminished earning capacity. Motorcycle injuries are often serious, so these amounts can be substantial.

You have 3 years from the accident date under Washington's statute of limitations (RCW 4.16.080). However, evidence and witness memories fade quickly—contact me as soon as possible to protect your claim.

Washington requires helmets, but not wearing one doesn't automatically bar your claim. While it may reduce damages if it contributed to head injuries, you can still recover for other injuries. Each case is evaluated individually.
