Motorcycle Injury
Connecticut motorcycle accident injury law includes all manner of injuries stemming from collisions and near collisions with passenger car, pedestrians and Buses and commercial vehicles. Many types of riding events leading to serious bodily harm occur more frequently in the presence of negligence.
A motorcycle operator in the State of Connecticut has the same privilege, right of way and protections that other vehicles enjoy.
However, from years of experience handling such matters it is clear that there is a definite bias against cycle riders from law enforcement perceptions of fault to jury verdicts often finding substantial comparative fault on the part of the cyclist for conduct which would not be held to such scrutiny should a passenger car have been involved. Accordingly, it is incumbet for your lawyer to not only understand the physics and operating principles involved resulting from unsafe driving maneuvers of others, driver distraction, fatigue and alcohol for example, but also to be a vigorous advocate for your rights.
As a trial lawyer I take serious the task of confronting such hidden prejudices involved on the part of testifying experts and demanding honesty and fairness from those that sit in judgement of your case. When it comes to motorcycle injuries, the physics of the crash and the resultant consequence to those involved is drastically different than many household and even work accidents and the injuries tend to be more severe as a result. The manner and positioning of the vehicles involved at the time of collision is crucial to a thorough understanding of not only fault issues involved but also the mechanism of injury.
My firm works with former police officers who were accident reconstruction specialists in uniform and now provide essential investigation and auto accident reconstruction services to for the benefit of our clients. We take an exhaustiv e approach to developing these claims and on multiple occassions have insisted on and received settlements of monies beyond the insurance coverage limits involved.
My firm has handled cases involving a wide variety of injuries including, brain injuries, paralysis, fractures requiring surgery, whiplash and spinal disc herniation's to name a few.
Contact us now and we will aggressively and tirelessly pursue your case. Getting legal help early is perhaps the single most important thing you can do now. Please keep in mind that strict Statute of Limitation periods apply and often case results can be enhanced by early involvement of counsel in order to secure critical evidence, witness statements and avoid unhelpful contact between you and an insurance adjuster or investigator.
We pursue these types of cases, when justified, strictly on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs of investigation which you are not responsible for unless we recover a Judgment or settlement on your behalf.
"The profession of law is not just a business. It transcends a mere occupation. It is a lifelong communal pursuit of justice."
