Being injured in a motorcycle accident can be a frightening and life-altering experience. Motorcyclists have a much higher rate of serious injury and death when involved in such an accident than do drivers or passengers in cars or trucks. Because a motorcyclist has little protection other than a helmet, when he or she is struck by another vehicle or hits the road or another object, the impact can lead to a wide range of injuries. These include road scrapes, cuts, bruises, soft tissue injury, torn ligaments, tendons, and muscles as well as multiple fractures, head injuries, internal injuries, and spinal cord injuries. Following a motorcycle accident, you may require short or long-term hospitalization, rehabilitative treatment, further surgeries, and more.

Property owners, managers, and occupiers have a responsibility to provide a reasonably safe environment for those who enter their premises as visitors, patrons, customers, or invitees.

These cases fall under premises liability and apply to both private and public premises, such as retail outlets, office buildings, movie theaters, and other places where the public congregate, both inside and outside the premises.
