PERSONAL INJURY

Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle accidents often result in more significant injuries compared to car accidents due to the exposed nature of motorcycles. Factors such as driver negligence, poor road conditions, and limited visibility can all contribute to these accidents. Additionally, motorcyclists are frequently subjected to unfair biases that can complicate claims, making experienced legal representation crucial.
At Gary De Pury Law Firm, we recognize the unique risks and severe consequences motorcyclists face on the road.

We examine all factors, such as traffic signals, road conditions, and actions of each driver at the time of the accident, to establish a clear fault.

    The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims varies by state, generally ranging from one to three years from the date of the accident.
