Our Phenix City, AL Motorcycle Collision Lawyer Knows What Causes These Crashes

Our accident attorney understands the most common causes of motorcycle accidents and how these collisions affect victims’ lives and futures. In 2022, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) reported 1,865 motorcycle crashes. This included 1,189 injuries and 95 fatalities.

Motorcyclists hurt in these collisions often suffer serious or catastrophic injuries. This could include life-changing injuries such as:

  • Head trauma and brain injuries
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Internal injuries
  • Amputations
  • Serious compound fractures
  • Crush injuries
  • Severe lacerations

When a motorcyclist suffers a serious injury in Phenix City, the closest emergency department is often Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital. This Phenix City, AL facility has orthopedic trauma specialists and other trauma doctors who can stabilize patients for transport or treat and rehabilitate patients.

Many injured motorcyclists require extensive care and support after an accident. They may miss weeks or even months of work, and some cannot return to their job because of a new disability. To pay for this, they hold the at-fault driver accountable.

Drivers often cause motorcycle accidents by:

  • Failing to yield when turning
  • Ignoring stop signs or traffic signals
  • Failing to check blind spots for smaller vehicles
  • Making other careless mistakes behind the wheel

Phenix City Motorcycle Accident FAQs

What happens if I wasn’t wearing a helmet in a Phenix City motorcycle accident?

Our Phenix City motorcycle accident attorneys at the Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown understand Alabama’s strict helmet laws and how they may affect your case. While not wearing a helmet could impact certain injury claims, especially for head or neck injuries, it does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. Our team carefully evaluates how the accident occurred, identifies all liable parties, and builds a strong case to protect your rights, even if you were not wearing a helmet.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for the accident in Phenix City?

Alabama follows a contributory negligence rule, which can bar recovery if you are found even slightly at fault for the crash. Because this standard is so strict, having an experienced attorney is essential. Our Phenix City motorcycle accident lawyers thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and challenge unfair fault claims by insurers or opposing parties. We work to ensure you have the best possible chance to recover compensation under Alabama law.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Phenix City?

Under Alabama law, you typically have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury claim. If a loved one was killed in a motorcycle crash, the two-year deadline generally applies from the date of death. Our Phenix City motorcycle accident attorneys move quickly to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and protect your right to compensation. Acting promptly helps us build a stronger case on your behalf.

What if the at-fault driver involved in my Alabama motorcycle accident was uninsured or underinsured?

If the driver responsible for your motorcycle accident lacks sufficient insurance coverage, you may still have options. Many Alabama motorcyclists carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which can help pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Our Phenix City motorcycle accident lawyers review your insurance policies, identify all potential sources of compensation, and handle negotiations with insurers to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.

  • $11,500,000

    Our client’s vehicle stalled on the highway in the Atlanta metro area due to a mechanical issue. They activated their hazard signals and waited for help. A commercial 18-wheeler approached but failed to notice the stalled car and slammed into it from behind. The gas tanker overturned, spilling 9,000 gallons of fuel and igniting a fire that engulfed both vehicles. Both the truck driver and our client lost their lives. The trucking company argued that the crash was partly our client’s fault because their vehicle had stalled. We countered by showing that commercial drivers have a heightened duty of care, including knowing how to safely react when approaching a disabled vehicle, and that the truck driver failed to take those precautions. The case resolved confidentially with an $11,500,000 settlement for the victim’s family. The recovery provided critical financial support for the decedent’s two children, helping cover immediate expenses, education, and future needs through a structured settlement.

  • $2,650,000

    Our firm represented the family of a deceased armed services veteran who was tragically killed in a tractor-trailer collision. The crash occurred because the commercial driver failed to properly use the required warning triangles to alert oncoming traffic. Early on, there was uncertainty about whether the veteran could have avoided the crash. Liability was heavily contested; the defense argued the crash might have been avoidable and not solely the truck driver’s fault. We encouraged a full investigation, analyzing speed, driving conditions, and compliance with federal trucking safety regulations. That work revealed the commercial driver had violated those regulations. By uncovering clear regulatory failures, we built a strong claim to hold the trucking company accountable. The case resolved for $2,650,000, bringing critical financial security to the veteran’s family. The recovery gave them resources to cover immediate expenses and helped create stability for the decades to come.

  • $1,876,000

    In Chattanooga, our client, a professional truck driver, was killed in a crash caused by another truck driver who was driving far below the posted speed limit. The slow-moving truck gave no warning: no hazard lights or signals indicating it was traveling unusually slowly. Our client collided with the vehicle and, tragically, both drivers died in the crash. The defense argued that, despite the other driver’s unsafe speed, our client should have taken evasive action. Our team countered by demonstrating how the lack of hazard signals and failure to indicate the danger created an unreasonable and unexpected road hazard, directly leading to the collision. We secured a $1,876,000 settlement for our client’s family. A significant portion was structured to provide long-term stability for his surviving minor child, including funds set aside for education and a monthly allowance to help with ongoing financial needs.

  • $1,000,000

    In Alabama, a father on his way to work was killed when a commercial driver failed to yield the right of way. The truck veered left directly into our client’s path, forcing his vehicle under the trailer. The impact caused a fire that claimed the lives of everyone inside. We represented the estate on behalf of the man’s only child, a minor left without their father. Our team investigated the accident thoroughly to confirm liability and secure maximum compensation. The case concluded with a $1,000,000 settlement, representing the full insurance limits available. These funds created crucial financial stability for the child, offering support for immediate needs and future opportunities in the absence of their father’s income.
