For many people, riding a motorcycle is a fun activity. Many Maryville residents ride up to The Dragon to get away for a while. While we may take precautions to be safe, not everyone around us does the same. Within seconds, you could be facing a lifetime of dealing with injuries. If you have been hurt in a motorcycle accident, you need an attorney who will fight for your rights. Costner Greene attorneys have helped clients for over 40 years.

COMMON CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS

Our firm has extensive experience handling the most complex, and even deadly, cases. Because you are a smaller target and don’t have a large vehicle protecting you, the injuries quickly turn severe. Some common causes of accidents include:

• Less visibility to cars

• Road hazards, such as debris or wet pavement

• Lack of barrier between the rider and the road

• Less stability — only two wheels instead of four

• The skill level and comfort of driving a motorcycle

It is important to remember that you can always take steps to better protect yourself. Always wear your helmet and obey all traffic signs around you. Some people find that taking classes helps them feel like a more confident driver. While it is required to get a motorcycle license, you can’t control those around you. Our attorneys can help you get compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering. Don’t let a bad driver ruin an enjoyable past-time.
