If you were hurt in a crash, get in touch with a Columbia motorcycle accident attorney from Thomas Law Offices. We’ll make sure that the responsible party who caused your motorcycle crash is held accountable for your damages.
The cause of most auto accidents involving motorcyclists can be traced back to a single cause—driver error. Passenger vehicle drivers often fail to see motorcycles simply because they do not look for them.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable when:
Motorcycle accident injuries tend to be severe because the average biker lacks the essential protections afforded to vehicle occupants. Motorcycles do not have steel frames, air bags, or seat belts to soften the impact of a collision, meaning that serious injuries are likely to occur.
In our years of experience successfully handling motorcycle accident claims in Columbia, MO, we have become familiar with some of the most common injuries:
If a motorcyclist is thrown from their vehicle in a collision, the biker’s arm or other limb may become stuck underneath another vehicle or the motorcycle itself, causing severe or irreversible muscle damage. Life-threatening injuries are far from uncommon, and drastic measures (such as amputations) are sometimes necessary to preserve the life of accident victims.
Receiving prompt medical treatment is the most important step after being involved in a motorcycle crash. The second most important step is meeting with a motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss your options for filing a personal injury claim.

You know that you deserve maximum compensation for your injuries. But what exactly does that mean? Compensation for a personal injury claim is broken down into two types of damages: non-economic and economic damages.

When a motorcycle rider is hit and injured by another driver, establishing fault is a necessary precursor to recovering compensation. One thing is clear—the driver who acted negligently and hit your motorcycle is responsible. Proving that to the insurance company can be a challenge, though.
Insurance companies are profit-minded businesses that prioritize their own bottom lines over helping those who have been wrongfully injured in an accident. If given the chance, they will limit your settlement or deny liability altogether, even though you have the same rights to pursue compensation as anyone else on the road.
