Excerpt from: Motorcycle Lawyer

| January 22, 2008 | | Help finding a motorcycle lawyer | Every year, as the weather warms up in the spring, I get calls from riders all over the country, looking for help finding a good motorcycle lawyer.
Every year, I get on the phone, and do my best to find lawyers to help these injured riders.
Most of the time, if they have a deserving case, I can find someone that I am comfortable with. In those cases, I make a referral. Sometimes, even I can't find someone.
So many lawyers claim on their web sites to be motorcycle lawyers, but when you talk to them, it turns out that they are just personal injury lawyers who have handled a few motorcycle cases.
If only it were that easy.
It takes years of experience, even for a long time rider, to get into the nuances of motorcycle accidents. There are so many things that are just different enough to really make the difference. Braking, of course, is very different. Accident avoidance is another key area. How the injuries occur. What the investigating officers do at the scene. And so on.
I spend a lot of my time helping riders who need it, because I enjoy what I do. Each year, I have a larger group of lawyers that I have experience with.
So, once again, this year I am looking forward to helping injured riders find motorcycle lawyers for their motorcycle accidents.
It scares me to think about how many riders end up with lawyers that don't know motorcycles, and how many of them learn the difference the hard way.
