Motorcycle Collisions

Alabama Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Motorcycle riders are in a unique position on the road. They enjoy the freedom that comes with their chosen form of transportation, but they are also left exposed to dangers not met by automobile drivers and other motorists. Motorcycles offer little protection to their riders in a crash, and other drivers often have difficulty seeing—and avoiding—motorcycles. The combination can be deadly. Motorcycle riders are about 34 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In Alabama, 61 people lost their lives in motorcycle wrecks in 2005.

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else's negligence or if someone you love died in a bike crash, the most important step in protecting your legal rights is to meet with a skilled attorney to discuss your case. Please contact a motorcycle accident attorney at Hornsby, Watson, Hornsby, Blackwell & McKown for a free consultation and case evaluation.
