Motorcycle Crashes Occur Frequently in Washington
Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to injury on the road than other motorists, and that is certainly reflected in the statistics reported by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. While motorcycles are estimated to have only accounted for 3% of registered vehicles in the state between 2018 and 2022, the commission estimates that motorcycle collisions accounted for 16% of all fatal crashes.
How to Prepare for the Best Possible Outcome After a Motorcycle Crash
Taking proper action after a motorcycle or car accident can make all the difference in your case. Immediately after the collision, the priority is hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer. Meanwhile, it is essential that motorcycle riders follow these simple tips after a crash in order to ensure the best possible results from a motorcycle accident claim:
An insurance company representing the other driver will reach out to you, but the safest assumption is that they are trying to discredit your case. When they contact you, simply tell them to speak to your lawyer and end the conversation.
It's second nature for most of us to talk about the events of our lives on social media, but it's crucial that you avoid making a statement that could harm your case to anyone, especially in a public forum online. Insurance companies will check out your profiles.
If you have photos or videos of the accident scene and resulting property damage, contact information of witnesses, or other evidence on your phone, share them with your motorcycle accident lawyer and make copies. Upload it to a cloud service, or simply email it to yourself.

Why Victims Recommend Us
"Brad Fulton is the best. Met me in my home. Negotiated and guided me through everything after a really bad head on with a drunk. I dont think he sleeps. Really cares and cares more about clients than money. I recommend him to anyone that will listen." Art Jury, 5-star Review on Google
Settlements and Jury Awards
Pre-trial settlements and jury awards are the two types of restitution that will help cover the financial losses and hardships experienced following a motorcycle accident. Here is an explanation of how they differ and how they are calculated in personal injury and wrongful death cases:
Pre-Trial Settlement
A pre-trial settlement is negotiated before going to court. This prevents details of the motorcycle accident from being released to the public, and avoids a drawn-out battle in court. We will work to negotiate the fairest settlement possible, but won't hesitate to go to court if the other party won't agree to an acceptable amount.
Jury Award
Jury awards are sought through a civil trial. This money is also referred to as "damages." There are two kinds of damages: compensatory damages that cover losses like medical bills and property damage resulting from the crash, and punitive damages that punish the negligent party.
Proving Who Was at Fault in a Motorcycle Accident
Establishing fault in a collision is essential when pursuing restitution for motorcycle accident victims. Here are a few aspects of a case that our Bellevue motorcycle accident lawyers consider when determining fault:
Motorcycle Crash Evidence
Our team will go over your photos and video of the crash as well as the information in the police report. This will help us assess the nature of the crash and the damage it caused.
Witnesses and Footage
Using witness testimony as well as any third-party video footage, we can get a much clearer picture of what exactly happened before and during the motorcycle accident.
Actions of Parties Involved
Using this combination of collision evidence and witness testimony, we can pinpoint who was at fault, whether it was another driver, a vehicle manufacturer, or another party.
Fearless Representation in Motorcycle Accident Cases
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be caused by driver inexperience, errors by other drivers, and even mechanical failure. Here are some of the most common situations that cause collisions, whether due to driver error or actions by other parties.
Speeding is a contributing factor in 26 percent of all fatal auto accidents. All motorists must abide by the speed limit to ensure road safety.
Alcohol contributes to approximately 28 percent of all traffic-related fatalities. This is why no one should operate a vehicle while intoxicated.
Roughly 22 percent of auto accidents occur when someone is making a left turn. Extra caution needs to be observed while at intersections.
Cellphone use, rubbernecking, and inattention can all contribute to a collision. Motorists must keep their eyes on the road and stay focused.
Any events that impair vision or reduce traction can increase the chances of a crash. Rain, snow, and road debris are all potential hazards.
Faulty tires, unresponsive brakes, and other issues with vehicle parts and maintenance can make an otherwise safe motorcycle dangerous.

"Liz Quick Is a Brilliant Attorney." 5-Star Reviews of Our Bellevue Injury Lawyers
Deanna Z.
Bellevue, WA
2021
Liz Quick is a brilliant trial attorney. I was the plaintiff in my case and I remember sitting in that courtroom thinking “She is incredible!” She operated with such ease and such confidence in what she was doing that I just couldn’t be anything less than in total awe of her. She also was amazingly pleasant to just be around. When you are feeling as vulnerable as I felt during during the trial, having someone on your side like Liz meant so much.

Matt was all of the above. QLG did an excellent job and obtained a great result.
View on GoogleThe Long-Term Repercussions for Motorcycle Accident Victims
Many motorcycle accident survivors face dramatic changes to their lives because of the injuries they've sustained. Our Bellevue motorcycle accident attorneys take the long-term effects of accident injuries into account whenever they advocate for their clients.
Permanent Disability
Spinal cord injuries and severe nerve damage can result in lifelong mobility issues. In such cases, motorcycle accident survivors are wheelchair dependent and need assistance to accomplish daily tasks.Mental and Psychological Health
The lingering effects of a TBI may not be apparent until well after the motorcycle collision. A TBI can lead to memory loss, vision problems, cognition problems, depression, and mood swings that require professional care.Lost Earning Potential
The lasting effects on physical and mental health could lead to education and career setbacks. Over time, this translates into reduced earning potential, and perhaps even added expenses for a career change.Impact on Families and Households
Motorcycle accident survivors are not the only victims in a crash. Their families also face many struggles as they deal with medical bills and the many emotional burdens that come with recovery, change, and grief.
These profound losses can be mitigated with costly ongoing medical care, therapy, and other resources. Unfortunately, victims rarely have the money to cover these expenses. More importantly, they should not bear the burden of having to pay for these essential services—that responsibility lies with the party or parties who caused the accident. Don't let the devastating aftermath of a motorcycle accident leave your family without the restitution you need and deserve. Reach out to our Bellevue lawyers today to begin building your case.
