Motorcycle Accident Injury

Motorcyclists have every right to share the road, but they face far greater risks than drivers of cars and trucks. Without the protection of a metal frame, airbags, or seatbelts, even a low-speed crash can lead to life-altering injuries — or worse.

In Missouri, motorcycle accidents are all too common, especially on rural highways, curving lake roads, and busy city intersections. These collisions are often caused by:

Drivers failing to see motorcycles when changing lanes or turning
Distracted or impaired driving
Following too closely
Speeding or aggressive driving
Poorly maintained roads or debris

Common motorcycle accident injuries include:

Traumatic brain injuries (especially when helmets aren’t worn)
Spinal cord damage and paralysis
Broken bones and fractures
Road rash, burns, and skin damage
Internal injuries and bleeding
PTSD and emotional trauma

Many motorcycle riders are unfairly blamed for accidents — a bias that insurance companies may use to reduce or deny compensation. But under Missouri law, injured motorcyclists have the same right to recover damages as anyone else on the road.

If you’ve been injured while riding, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical bills (including surgeries, rehab, and long-term care)
Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Disfigurement or permanent disability
Property damage (bike repair or replacement)

Motorcycle accidents often involve severe trauma, complex recovery, and aggressive insurers. You need someone who understands what you’re facing and who knows how to fight back.
