Why You Need a Lawyer
Understanding the law around motorcycle accidents can be confusing, and can become even more complex when multiple parties are involved. An attorney can help because they know the law and the legal process, and they can handle the tactics used by the insurance company to minimize their payout. They can:
- Evaluate the strength of your case and determine what legal recourse you may have against those who harmed you
- Identify who may be potentially liable for your injuries
- Gather evidence that helps make your case stronger
Motorcycle riders face unique challenges in personal injury claims due to the severity of injuries commonly sustained and the lack of protective barriers compared to car occupants.
Additionally, an attorney will have experts with whom they can consult to help determine what the victim’s future needs will be in order to calculate how much compensation the victim is owed. Attorneys are also used to having to talk with other attorneys and professionals. This, coupled with expert opinions, can help ensure that you get the compensation you deserve, and that you do not accept a settlement that is too low.
Having an experienced lawyer represent your interest if you have been injured in a motorcycle accident can help ensure that your rights are protected, you are treated fairly, and you get the compensation you deserve. Motorcycle accident cases are often complex, involving proving negligence, dealing with biases from insurance companies, and handling the legal system to recover damages. Personal injury claims in the context of motorcycle accidents can have a higher potential value, making it crucial to have a specialized attorney who understands the intricacies of motorcycle-related injuries.

Cases We Handle
In 2022, 6,218 motorcyclists were killed in accidents. This was an increase in deaths compared to the previous year (6,143). Additionally, approximately 82,687 people were injured in motorcycle accidents in 2022. Motorcycle riders face unique risks, such as severe injuries from collisions and the complexity of lane splitting laws, making it crucial to have knowledgeable legal representation.
Unfortunately, motorcycle crashes can often occur because other drivers fail to notice motorcycles on the road, even after checking for smaller vehicles. When a motorcycle accident is caused by another party’s recklessness or wrongdoing, they may be liable to you for any resulting injuries. Families who have lost a loved one in motorcycle accidents may seek legal recourse for wrongful death, which can include compensation for specific types of damages and enhance the overall value of a case, despite the complexities involved.
Some common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Reckless driving
- Negligent driving
- Intoxicated driving
- Hazardous road conditions
- Poor visibility
- Poorly maintained roads
- Debris on roadways
- Improper or blocked roadway signs
- Construction site hazards

Since each case is different, contacting an experienced Newport motorcycle accident lawyer at the Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, Accident & Injury Lawyers, Ltd. to discuss the facts surrounding your accident can be helpful.
What Should You Do If You Have Been In A Motorcycle Accident
In the immediate aftermath of a motorcycle accident, you may be feeling confused and shocked. If you are able, however, try to take these steps after the accident:
- Get to safe place, out of further harm’s way, if possible.
- Check yourself for injuries and get medical attention immediately, if needed. If you are well enough, check to see if other parties involved in the accident need assistance.
- Call the police. A police report can be very useful for future legal and insurance claims. Accident reports serve as crucial evidence in establishing fault and negotiating settlements. While you should cooperate with the police, do not admit fault for the accident or blame anyone else at the scene.
- Gather information, including:
- The names and contact information for all drivers and passengers involved in the accident
- The names and contact information for any witnesses
- Insurance information for all other vehicles involved in the accident
- Make and model of each vehicle involved in the accident
- Names and badge numbers of the responding police officers
- Date, time, and location of the accident
- Photographs of the accident scene
- Seek an exam by a medical professional. It is important to remember that some injuries, like TBI, may take time to manifest, so even if you feel fine, visit a doctor.
- Contact a Newport motorcycle accident attorney.
