Motorcycle accident injuries are particularly severe because, unlike a car, a bike offers no protection. We urge riders to use all of the protective gear available.
Our Grand Junction attorneys have handled a number of motorcycle accident claims, obtaining compensation for victims who suffered serious injuries. We have also helped grieving families whose loved ones were killed in motorcycle accidents. At Harshman and McBee, P.C., our attorneys assess each case and advise clients about the payment that they may be able to obtain.

Using Experts and Specialists to Build the Case
We also work with accident experts and medical specialists to determine the precise cause of a motorcycle crash, and to document the nature and extent of our client's injuries. Motorcycle accident injuries can be severe or fatal because motorcycle riders lack the protection offered by the frame of a car or truck. The result can be severe head and brain injury, burns, broken bones, severe abrasions or amputation. We urge all motorcycle riders to wear the protective gear available to them to reduce the severity of motorcycle accident injuries.
Motorcycle Accident Causes
The most common causes of motorcycle accidents are:
- Cars turning in front of motorcycles or failing to yield the right of way
- Cars moving into the lanes occupied by motorcycles, forcing the bikes off the road
Cars — The Biggest Threat to Motorcycle Riders
Our attorneys tell motorcycle riders to be extremely careful when driving close to cars. Almost all accidents involving a car and a motorcycle are caused by the driver of the car. Car drivers often claim that they did not see the motorcycle before they hit it. For this reason, the best protection for motorcycle riders is to see every car they encounter on the road as a potential threat and act accordingly. The second best protection is to wear a helmet, leathers and all other protective gear available.
