Motorcyclists in Mississippi face unique challenges on the road, from heavy traffic on main highways I-10, I-20, and I-55 to unpredictable weather and drivers who operate their vehicles unsafely.

When accidents happen, the consequences can be devastating, leading to severe injuries, costly medical bills, and emotional trauma. At ‘Maggio Law, we zealously advocate for the rights and interests of injured riders throughout Mississippi.

Do You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

Motorcycle accident cases can be more challenging than car accident cases. Insurance companies may act to accuse the motorcyclist, downplay the extent of the injuries sustained, or undervalue the damages. At ‘Maggio Law, we have extensive experience and exceptional skills when fighting the tactics many insurance companies employ in motorcycle accident injury claims.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Motorcycle accidents can occur on Mississippi streets, highways, and roads. Many of these tragic accidents result from the negligent driving conduct of others sharing the roadways. Some of the most common causes include the following: 

  • Driver distraction: A driver talking on a phone, texting, or engaged in eating or other activity can fail to observe a motorcyclist, either in an adjoining lane, ahead, or at an intersection.
  • Traffic Law Violations: A driver fails to yield when required by law. 
  • Unsafe Driving Conduct: Speeding or reckless driving leading to a collision with a motorcyclist.
  • Drunk or Drug-Impaired Driving: Drugs and alcohol result in poor reaction time and faulty decisions while behind the wheel.

What Can a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Do for My Case?

At ‘Maggio Law, we take care of all aspects of a claim or lawsuit in cases of serious, catastrophic, or fatal injuries. We offer the following support: 

  • Accident Investigation: We gather and preserve all critical evidence to support the claim, including the condition of the vehicles involved, taking eyewitness statements, and accessing any video footage in building a case for full compensation.
  • Determining Liability: We identify all negligent parties, whether a vehicle operator, the governmental agency responsible for maintaining safe roads, or a manufacturer of faulty motorcycle parts, to ensure all liable parties are held accountable.
  • Negotiating with Insurance Companies: We have the skills and tenacity to pressure insurance companies that try to undervalue or deny legitimate claims.
  • Pursuing Maximum Compensation: We aggressively pursue all losses, including the cost of medical bills, lost income from work, changes in earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life—we are focused on pursuing the maximum compensation.

Types of Motorcycle Accident Injury Claims We Handle

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe or life-changing injuries with a long-term impact on your health, finances, and quality of life. At ‘Maggio Law, we take on a range of motorcycle accident injury claims, including but not limited to the following:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Riders are at high risk of sustaining severe head and brain injuries that lead to cognitive and physical impairments that require months, years, or a lifetime of care.

Spinal Cord Injuries

When the spinal cord is damaged, the rider can suffer partial or complete paralysis, forever altering the ability to work and earn a living or enjoy the quality of life they had before the motorcycle crash.

Fractures and Broken Bones

A collision with a vehicle throws the rider onto the roadway, where they often suffer multiple fractures that require several complex surgeries, physical therapy, and a long and painful recovery.

Internal Injuries

Damage to the internal organs is life-threatening and usually requires emergency surgery.

Severe Road Rash

When riders hit the road surface, they often suffer deep abrasions that can lead to infections, disfiguring scars, and the need for skin grafts and reconstructive surgeries.

Amputations

The impact of a motorcycle accident may result in a crushed or irreparably broken limb, which must be surgically removed. The injured rider then faces a long and painful recovery, with a lifetime of challenges ahead.

Burn Injuries

Some motorcycle crashes involve a vehicle that burns, leaving the rider exposed to high heat and left with severe burns. These injuries are difficult to resolve and involve many painful treatments and specialized reconstructive surgeries.

Pain and Suffering

Beyond the pain of physical injuries, victims often experience emotional anguish regarding the severe changes in mobility and overall abilities, both physical and cognitive.

At ‘Maggio Law, we understand that recovering from catastrophic injuries is about securing the resources necessary to rebuild your life. The compensation we pursue will reflect the extent of your injuries and the impact on your overall health and life experience.
