Protecting the Rights of Injured Motorcyclists

Motorcyclists face a significantly higher risk of fatal accidents compared to occupants of standard vehicles, with the U.S. Department of Transportation reporting that they are up to 29 times more likely to be involved in such incidents.

Despite wearing safety gear, motorcyclists remain vulnerable due to limited protection. At Wheeles & Garmon, we recognize the unique challenges that injured motorcyclists face. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, we are here to help you pursue fair compensation. Our team serves clients across Alabama in both English and Spanish.

​

Motorcycle accidents often result from various factors, including drunk driving, tailgating, failing to check blind spots, unsafe merging, and more. Accidents can also be worsened by poor weather, vehicle defects, hazardous road conditions, or inadequate safety gear.

Our experienced attorneys will meticulously evaluate the evidence to determine fault and assist with personal injury or product liability claims.

​

As a fault-based state, Alabama requires victims to file claims against the at-fault party’s insurance. Due to Alabama's contributory negligence rule, even a minor percentage of fault can prevent victims from recovering compensation. Proving fault is critical, and working with an experienced attorney is essential.
