Metier Law Firm, LLC is proud to provide SafeRider® accident investigation and legal services nationwide.
For many, riding around town on a motorcycle can be incredibly cathartic. From the thrill of the open road, enjoying the company of friends, and making new ones using the ‘biker wave’, to honing your riding skills, the benefits are endless. It’s no surprise then that driving a motorcycle requires a high amount of focus and skill. On the road, riders have to have a heightened awareness of other vehicles around them, road and weather conditions, and more. Due to the simple fact that motorcycles are a great deal smaller than a car, truck, or SUV, it’s easier for drivers to not see bikers, and accidents involving motorcycles are, unfortunately, more common. Add in the fact that motorcyclists are fully exposed, collisions involving motorcyclists are some of the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents.
Oftentimes, motorcycle accidents can result in a serious injury or even death for the rider involved. According to the NHTSA, in 2019 motorcyclists were 29 times more likely to die in an accident, as well as 4 times more likely to be injured than those riding or driving other types of vehicles.
Nearly all motorcycle accident injuries have long-lasting effects. Even if protective gear is worn, injuries can be severe. This is where our motorcycle accident lawyers come into play. We ride and know the freedom that only a motorcycle brings and will fight to get that freedom back for you.
Metier Law Firm is excited to use SafeRider® accident investigation and legal services nationwide.

Even the best rider can fall victim to a motorcycle accident. As we’ve seen time and time again, most motorcycle accidents involve other vehicles, such as cars or commercial trucks. Since riding a motorcycle can put you in a vulnerable position, it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any possibility while on the road.
Oftentimes, drivers and passengers are unaware of motorcyclists around them, which can result in serious injury for the rider. Whether it’s the motorcyclist or another driver that’s at fault, some examples of negligence include: speeding, open doors, unsafe lane changes or merges, sudden stops, and left turns.
This occurs when a motorcyclist drives between established lanes of traffic that are both going in the same direction. This practice is currently illegal in many states, including Colorado, Oregon, Nebraska, Washington, and Wyoming.
Drinking while under the influence of drugs or alcohol leads to impairment, resulting in catastrophic results. In 2019, 42% of motorcyclists who died as a result of a single-vehicle accident were alcohol-impaired.
It’s easy to get distracted while on the road. Whether it’s from eating, drinking, talking on the phone, or texting, taking your eyes off the road for just a split second can have disastrous results.
From potholes, cracks or broken pavement, to unsafe weather conditions such as snow or heavy rains, all poor weather conditions can lead to a life-altering accident. It’s important to plan ahead and be aware before hitting the road.
A rider may not know it at the time, but their bike could have a design or manufacturing defect that could pose issues in the future. Faulty installation can lead to an accident or injury as well.
When you’re the victim of a motorcycle accident, chances are you’re now having to deal with life-altering, catastrophic injuries. The following days, months, and even years will be spent on the road to recovery at the expense of your bank account. From cuts and bruises to more serious medical conditions such as traumatic brain injury, medical treatment and therapy can lead to a growing pile of unexpected medical expenses.

If you or a motorcycle rider you know has been involved in a motorcycle wreck, it’s important to get everyone involved to safety. Once you and everyone involved are a safe distance away, take these next steps to protect yourself and your legal rights:
Contact emergency responders to get help for those who have been injured, as well as law enforcement so that they can conduct an investigation into the accident. Having this investigation on record can be invaluable if your motorcycle accident claim ends up going to court.
Exchange contact and insurance information for all parties involved. Be careful and protect yourself by not oversharing or talking about the accident.
If you can, document and take pictures or videos of the accident. Gathering documented evidence of bodily harm and damage to property is paramount when it comes time to file an insurance claim.
Even if it doesn’t look like you’ve sustained any injuries, it’s important to go see your doctor and get checked out.
