Motorcycle accidents often result in painful and permanent injuries because riders have no protection against impacts caused by larger vehicles. Huge medical bills can pile up fast, plunging a motorcycle accident victim into financial distress. At Portner & Shure, P.A. in Bel Air, we think it is wrong to leave motorcycle riders without help after being in an accident that was not their fault. That is why we have proudly been representing wrongfully injured motorcyclists in our communities for more than 30 years.

Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Common injuries reported in motorcycle accident claims often include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Skull and facial injuries
- Broken bones
- Dental injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Road rash
- Disfigurement
These injuries usually require emergency medical treatment including surgery. Extensive rehabilitation such as reconstructive surgery, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, is required in many cases. To pay for all of these treatments and more, significant financial compensation becomes a necessity as well.
Damages Owed to Injured Motorcyclists
As a motorcycle accident survivor, you can demand damages from any party that caused or contributed to your crash. Economic damage can be rewarded to pay for medical bills, lost wages, and other financial costs that can be tracked on paper or spreadsheets. Noneconomic damage can be issued to pay for abstract hardships, like the need to endure immense pain.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are subject to the same laws as other motorists. Most motorcycle collisions are caused by the negligence of another driver who is not paying enough attention to realize that the smaller vehicle is near them on the road.
Common causes of motorcycle collisions include:

- Driving and using a smartphone
- Speeding
- Drunk or impaired driving
