Twin Cities Motorcycle Accident Representation: Fighting For Injured Bikers
Motorcycle accidents often result in devastating injuries that can affect every aspect of your life. When involved in a motorcycle accident, the physical, emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming.
At Berens & Miller, P.A., our motorcycle accident attorneys represent injured riders throughout Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. With decades of combined experience with motorcycle crash cases, we understand the challenges that motorcyclist injury claims present and how to overcome them.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Due to their exposed position on the road, motorcyclists typically suffer more severe injuries than car occupants in similar accidents:
- Traumatic brain injuries, even with helmet use
- Spinal cord damage leading to partial or complete paralysis
- Road rash causing severe skin damage and potential infection
- Multiple fractures, particularly to the legs, arms and ribs
- Internal organ damage requiring emergency surgical intervention
- Joint injuries, including dislocations and torn ligaments
Recovery often requires extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation and significant time away from work. Some injuries result in permanent disability that affects your ability to enjoy life as you did before the motorcycle wreck.
Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents In The Twin Cities
Understanding the cause of your accident is crucial to establishing liability and pursuing compensation. Common factors in Minneapolis bike crashes include:
- Drivers failing to see motorcyclists when changing lanes or merging into traffic, often claiming the motorcycle was in their blind spot
- Vehicles turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles at intersections, misjudging the rider’s speed or distance
- Dangerous road conditions, including potholes, loose gravel, uneven pavement and debris that pose minimal risk to cars but serious hazards to motorcycles
- Distracted driving, potentially reducing awareness of smaller vehicles, particularly drivers focused on phones or navigation systems instead of surrounding traffic
- Impaired drivers with diminished reaction times and judgment, especially dangerous during evening hours when motorcycle visibility is already reduced
- Unsafe lane splitting by either the motorcyclist or other vehicles, creating dangerous proximity in confined spaces
As experienced lawyers, we thoroughly investigate accidents to identify all contributing factors and responsible parties. Many biker injury cases involve multiple liable parties, including other drivers, government entities and even motorcycle manufacturers in cases involving defective components.
