Motorcycle Sudden Stop Collisions Injury Attorney

Drivers often miscalculate the distance in which they can safely follow a motorcycle. If a driver is following too close when a motorcyclist is forced to stop suddenly, the resulting accident can leave the motorcyclist with devastating injuries. Often, sudden stop collisions cause motorcyclists to be ejected from their bikes. At the Pascoe Law Firm, our experience with sudden stop collision cases is extensive. We will fight to protect your legal rights so that you can focus on recovering from your injuries.

Sudden Stop Motorcycle Accidents
What are “Sudden Stop Accidents?”
One of the most common causes for motorcycle accidents involves a “sudden stop.” Sudden stops can cause the bike to cartwheel, turning end-over-end, catapulting the operator and frequently result in serious injury or motorcyclist death as the driver strikes any objects, fixed or moving, in his or her path.
Common Injuries From Sudden Stop Motorcycle Crashes
Some common injuries that may result from a sudden stop motorcycle accident include:
- Brain trauma
- Broken bones
- Paralysis
- Concussion
- Spinal cord injury
- Facial disfigurement
