A motorcyclist is largely unprotected from the impact of a collision with a car, often leading to far more serious injuries than the automobile occupants suffer. If you or someone you love was injured in an accident, our Washington motorcycle accident lawyers can help.
At Van Law, we can investigate your accident, identify the vehicle owner, and document your post-accident expenses and losses. Starting with a free review of your case, we can work hard to hold the at-fault driver accountable for their actions and pursue favorable financial compensation.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) research, as many as 42% of fatal motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers making a left-hand turn at an intersection.
Other causes of motorcycle-versus-vehicle collisions include:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence

Our investigative team can uncover and document the cause of your accident. Our Washington motorcycle accident lawyers can also determine the at-fault party and pursue compensation from their insurance provider.
