The Reality of Motorcycle Accidents in Maine & the U.S. 

Motorcycle accidents continue to be a significant concern nationwide. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are about 22 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger vehicle occupants, per vehicle miles traveled, and four times more likely to be injured.  

In 2023, motorcycle accidents accounted for 15% of all traffic deaths. This is despite the fact that they make up only a small percentage (approximately 3.5%) of all registered vehicles.

In 2023 alone, over 6,300 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes nationwide, one of the highest totals on record. Roughly 84,000 riders were injured that same year. 

These numbers highlight what every rider already knows: even the most skilled motorcyclists are vulnerable to the mistakes of others.

How We Assist Motorcyclists Through Personal Injury Law

Our Bangor motorcycle accident attorneys take immediate action to protect your rights after a motorcycle crash:

• Investigating the accident - We gather police reports, witness statements, and surveillance or dashcam footage to establish liability.
• Reconstructing the crash - We work with accident reconstruction experts to counter insurance company claims that unfairly blame you.
• Documenting injuries - We collaborate with medical professionals to accurately assess the full extent of your injuries and determine your long-term needs.
• Negotiating with insurers - Insurance companies often rely on “biker bias” to minimize payouts. We challenge those tactics and demand full compensation.
• Litigating when necessary - If insurers refuse to act reasonably, we file suit and represent you in court to pursue the justice you deserve.

Third-Party & Uninsured Motorist Claims

In some cases, compensation may also come from third-party claims, for example, if a defective motorcycle part contributed to the crash or if a poorly maintained roadway caused your accident. We evaluate every possible source of recovery, including uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, to maximize your outcome.
