Portland, Maine, Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

207-775-4255

Injuries from motorcycle accidents tend to be severe, simply due to the freedom from restraints. There are no airbags to absorb the impact of a collision, no doors with T-bar construction or safety glass windows. One of the most common and painful injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents is road burn, a friction burn caused by sliding across the pavement or roadway.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or suffered a wrongful death due to a motorcycle accident, contact a motorcycle accidents lawyer at Hallett Whipple Weyrens in Portland, Maine.

The Dynamics of Motorcycle Accidents

Because motorcycles weigh significantly less than cars or trucks, motorcycle riders are much more prone to injuries including:

  • Head injuries
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Brain injuries, including Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Broken bones

The Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

We have helped many motorcycle accident victims recover money damages. One of the most common excuses we hear is that the motorist just didn't see the cyclist. One of the most dangerous maneuvers is a left hand turn in front of a motorcyclist, which causes many serious injuries every year. Other dangers include tailgating, speeding up suddenly to beat a red light, and unexpected lane changes. Dangerous roads and slippery conditions also contribute to brain injuries and other serious conditions.

Here at Hallett Whipple Weyrens we take motorcycle accidents very seriously. We investigate the accident thoroughly, starting with the police report. When clients first meet with us in an initial consultation, we advise them to save as much of the evidence as possible, including what they were wearing at the time of the accident. No detail is unimportant in our investigation.
