When a car hits a motorcycle, the driver always says the same thing: "I didn't see him." But in the insurance office, the story changes. Suddenly, you were "speeding," "weaving," or "driving recklessly." We don't let them rewrite history.
Urgent Warning: Do Not Talk to the Adjuster
The insurance adjuster is trained to manipulate you. They will ask friendly questions like "How are you feeling?" to trick you into downplaying your injuries before you realize the extent of your spinal or brain trauma. Hang up and call us.
The "Biker Bias" is Real
There is a deep-seated prejudice against motorcyclists in Oklahoma juries. Defense lawyers know this. They will try to paint you as a reckless daredevil. They will scour your Facebook and Instagram for photos of you popping wheelies years ago to suggest you were "asking for it."
Our Strategy: We humanize our clients. We show the jury that you are a father, a veteran, a responsible citizen who was simply enjoying the freedom of the road when a negligent driver violated your right of way.
Common Crash Scenarios We Litigate
- The Left-Turn Violation: This is the #1 killer. A car turns left directly across your path. They claim you were invisible. We use forensic experts to prove you were there to be seen.
- Rear-End Collisions: A driver looking at their phone fails to stop at a red light, sandwiching you between vehicles.
- Lane Change Failures: Drivers who don't check their blind spots before merging into you.
Post-Crash Critical Checklist
Evidence disappears fast. Protect your claim now:
Catastrophic Injuries & Long-Term Care
Motorcycles offer zero protection. Even a low-speed crash can result in life-altering injuries. We specialize in calculating the lifetime cost of:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Even with a helmet, the brain can slam against the skull (coup-contrecoup), causing permanent cognitive deficits.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: From herniated discs to paralysis requiring lifetime wheelchair accessibility and home modifications.
- "Road Rash" (Traumatic Tattooing): This is not a scrape. It is a severe friction burn that often requires skin grafts and leaves permanent, painful scarring.
Did You Suffer a Head Injury?
Insurance companies often claim TBI symptoms are "just a headache." Learn how we prove brain damage even with normal MRI results.

Defense lawyers love to argue "He wasn't wearing a helmet, so it's his fault." Legally, they are often wrong.
