Lawsuits Brought by Motorcycle Passengers

Risks to Passengers of Motorcycles

Sitting on the back of a motorcycle can be fun and exciting, but passengers often suffer some of the most serious injuries when accidents occur. Injuries we’ve seen at Friedman, Domiano & Smith include broken or lost limbs, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and death.

How We Handle Passenger-Injury Claims

When representing clients in motorcycle-passenger injury cases, we begin by writing demand letters to the insurance companies. These companies usually respond with a settlement offer. In the majority of cases, we are able to reach a settlement before going to court. Read about our verdicts and settlements in related cases.

What if You were Hurt as a Passenger on a Friend’s Motorcycle?

No one wants to file a lawsuit against a friend, relative or loved one. However, if you were injured, filing a claim is the appropriate thing to do. The purpose of insurance is to cover situations like yours—and there’s a good chance that your friend or loved one would want your medical needs to be covered.

Dealing with Uninsured Motorists

In cases where the accident was caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, our team will pursue a claim against the driver’s uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy. Our firm advocates UM/UIM coverage for every motorcyclist.

What about Costs?

We collect no attorneys’ fees unless and until you recover on your claim, whether by settlement or by jury verdict. We commit substantial resources to investigate your case, hire expert witnesses, and cover other necessary expenses. If we win, we recover these expenditures. If not, you owe us nothing.
