Minnesota Motorcycle Accident Laws and Statistics

When a motorcyclist is involved in a motorcycle accident, the chances of his dying or suffering serious personal injury are great. Consider the following motorcycle accident statistics: in Minnesota in 2005, there were 58 motorcycle accident fatalities. Thirty-two percent of victims were wearing helmets at the time of the crash and 21 were riding with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .01 or higher*.

Attorneys Dedicated to Protecting the Rights of Motorcycle Accident Victims

Proner & Proner is a motorcycle accident law firm dedicated to helping our clients exercise their rights in the aftermath of a crash. According to the law, when a motorcycle accident is caused at least partially by another party’s actions or negligence, the injured party may seek damages for his injuries. Our lawyers are committed to helping clients understand the process of filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit, the types of injuries for which victims may seek damages, and what constitutes a motorcycle accident settlement.

Types of Injuries

A motorcycle accident can cause a range of injuries, ranging in severity from relatively minor injuries (i.e. road rash and broken bones) to catastrophic ones (i.e. burn, spinal cord, back, and brain injury, and even wrongful death). Whatever the severity of the injury, the injured may be entitled to damages and should hire an experienced motorcycle accident attorney right away.

Motorcycle Accident Compensation

A motorcycle accident settlement compensates the financial losses a victim suffers as a result of his injuries, including his medical expenses, rehabilitative treatment, household expenses during recovery, lost income, decreased earning potential, pain, and suffering. The size of the settlement depends on a number of factors, including the severity of the victim’s injuries, the circumstances of the crash, state law, and the skill of the victim’s lawyer.

Filing a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit

In order to press charges for a motorcycle accident injury, it is crucial that the injured hire a lawyer with experience handling motorcycle accident claims. An attorney with a background handling such claims has the know-how necessary to prove the guilt of the liable party, meet the deadlines established by state law, and protect his client’s rights. By hiring a practiced attorney, victims increase their chances of obtaining a favorable case outcome.
