Hit & Run Motorcycle Accidents

An accident is unexpected, and happens within a split second. A single decision can change the outcome and well-being of an individual’s life. Hit-and-run accidents most often occur when the offender or culprit is not insured and hastily makes a decision not to stop. A hit-and-run involving a motorcycle is no different and often more deadly. A motorcyclist is less protected than someone enclosed in a vehicle, and if knocked unconscious, motorcyclist may suffer severe damage without immediate medical attention.

Hit-and-run motorcycle accidents include phantom vehicles, or drivers who force a motorist off the road even without physical contact. Such motorcycle riders are forced into dangerous or unsafe conditions because of poor or reckless driving. Motorcyclist injured in a hit-and-run accident fear that compensation will not be granted due to the complications and absent second party. Although hit-and-run motorcycle accidents require thorough investigation, hiring a professional personal injury attorney may help in acquiring evidence, expanding the search to find the offender, and achieving monetary compensation for loss, injuries, and suffering. Although results of extensive investigations may prove inconclusive due to the lack of witnesses and evidence, motorcycle attorneys strive to name additional, if any, underlying causes that may have added to the severity of a hit-and-run motorcycle accident.
