Few things are as exhilarating as taking a zip on a motorcycle along the George Washington Memorial Parkway, but the fun of a bike also comes with risk. In a collision between a motorcycle and a car or truck, the person on the bike usually suffers the most. Without the protective airbags and metal shell, the motorcycle operator may suffer broken bones, painful road rash, internal organ damage, and, even with a helmet, a devastating brain injury.
Recovery from a motorcycle accident is long and painful – and treatment can get quite expensive. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident that you didn’t cause, you might have grounds to demand compensatory damages from the driver who hit you. An Annandale, VA, motorcycle accident lawyer can evaluate your accident and provide legal advice about your rights and options. At the Law Offices of Ryan Quinn, PLLC, our attorneys are dedicated to the rights of injured victims like you, and we’re here to help you get the maximum compensation you deserve after the wreck.

What Does An Annandale Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Do?
Motorcycle accident attorneys present plaintiffs (the accident victim) in civil claims for damages after a motorcycle crash they didn’t cause. Our lawyers vigorously pursue compensation to cover your medical care, lost wages, and property damage, plus consideration for your pain and suffering and emotional trauma.
We gather evidence to build a case proving that the driver who hit you was negligent, such as reviewing the police accident report and any photos or video of the crash, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing data from the car’s Event Data Recorder (the “black box” present in many newer vehicles). We also subpoena witnesses to interview them and may even call on the services of an expert witness, like an accident reconstructionist, to explain how the other driver caused the crash.
Compensation Available In A Virginia Motorcycle Accident Claim
As the victim in a crash, you’re entitled to compensation for your material losses and the intangible losses that often accompany a serious crash.
- Material, or economic, compensation covers:
- Past, present, and future medical treatment
- Physical therapy
- Unearned wages from time missed at work
- Loss of earning potential if you’re permanently disabled
- Property damage, like repairing or replacing your bike or phone
Non-economic compensation covers the valuable yet intangible losses you experienced, such as the pain and suffering from your injuries, emotional trauma, and a diminished quality of life.
We have the experience and insight to properly value your claim, so we demand every penny you’re rightfully entitled to.
