The injuries are severe. The prejudice is real.
With no steel cage and little protection, a rider struck by a car frequently suffers broken bones, road rash, spinal damage, or a traumatic brain injury. Insurers know this and often lead with the assumption that the rider was reckless. We counter that narrative with hard evidence showing what actually happened.
Common causes in our cases include drivers who fail to yield when turning left, who change lanes without looking, or who simply never see the motorcycle until it is too late. A driver's failure to look is not a rider's fault.
