Motorcycle Accidents

Has a Negligent Driver Ruined Your Health and Destroyed Your Motorcycle?
We Can Help.

With the roadways becoming increasingly congested, people facing longer commutes and rushing around to their jobs and families, some things get overlooked.  Often times what drivers overlook is other vehicles legally on the roadway and, unfortunately, many of them are motorcycles.   Since a motorcycle rider is relatively unprotected in a collision, the injuries suffered are often serious, if not fatal.  We are experienced and effective motorcycle accident attorneys and offer you prompt, professional and personal services that are tailored to your individual claim.

Poorly Maintained Roadway, Defective Bike Part or Spilled Debris or Chemical on the Roadway

Motorcycle accidents can also occur when the City or County fails to maintain their roadways, thereby creating hazardous and dangerous conditions for motorcycle riders. Or a defective part on your motorcycle may have caused you to lose control of your bike and spill. Trucks or other vehicles carrying goods that are not properly secured, or chemicals or fuels that spill from containers can also cause you to crash. We thoroughly investigate your claim to ensure that recovery is made against all responsible parties so that you are fully compensated for your grief and losses.

Focus on Your Recovery While We Deal With the Insurance Company

It is critical that you heal and recover your good health after being injured. This is where your time and energy should be devoted, not to haggling with insurance adjusters or learning how to process a claim. We understand insurance claims, and are experienced dealing with adjusters. We'll protect your legal rights, handle the paperwork and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Testimonials

"After being struck from behind on my motorcycle and spending several weeks in the hospital, I needed an attorney to receive compensation for my injuries received in the crash. Before deciding on an attorney, I interviewed with several. Ken was one of the few attorneys I spoke with that wasn't willing to assume the case was open and shut. Even though it appeared to others to be a "slam dunk" car vs. motorcycle case, Ken assumed nothing and prepared my case leaving nothing to chance. The case did turn out to be more difficult than originally thought, but Ken's experience, preparation and knowledgeable insight earned for me all the compensation I had coming. Easy to work with and a great, easy-going sense of humor too. He has my highest recommendation."

~Ted Cyr, Bremerton, WA.

"After being injured in a motorcycle accident, I was faced with a major decision... Legal representation! Ken was recommended and after the interview there was an immediate sense of relief and partnership. Ken was very professional yet personal and made no false promises. This made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the process. He was thorough in his explanations, so there were no surprises. Ken's consistent contact and commitment resulted in a favorable conclusion, in part due to his attention to detail. Ken has since then never lost contact, and made me feel like a friend. I would, and have, recommended Ken for his services."
