Expert Portland Motorcycle Accident Attorneys You Can Trust

Motorcycle riding is an exhilarating experience, but it can also be inherently dangerous due to the lack of protective barriers and the vulnerability of motorcyclists on the road. Oregon accident statistics indicate motorcyclists are 6.5 times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident and more than 8 times more likely to sustain major injuries than occupants in a vehicle. These alarming statistics emphasize the dangers motorcyclists face daily. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you don’t have to face the complexities of dealing with insurance companies alone to obtain fair and equitable compensation. Our Portland motorcycle accident attorney is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve.

At Mayor Law, we have in-depth knowledge of the laws and legal procedures affecting motorcyclists in injury lawsuits. Our experience enables us to offer you the best representation possible. Should the trial be necessary, you will want an experienced attorney who can effectively present your case to a Portland jury. Attorney Travis Mayor understands how important your case is to you – and it is just as important to him. He is dedicated to fighting for justice on your behalf. Contact us to schedule a free case evaluation or call (503) 506-7891 today.

Issues Facing Motorcyclists

Department of Transportation’s statistics indicate that 14% of all roadway deaths are attributed to motorcycle accidents, despite the fact that motorcycles account for less than 1% of vehicles traveled. There are many potential explanations for this annual increase in fatalities and injuries, including a close to 100% increase in the number of motorcycles on the road (approximately 8 million), the fact that motorcycles are more powerful than their earlier predecessors and now operate at highway speeds, and that the overall population of vehicle drivers is aging, leading to less experience in dealing with common motorcycle maneuvers such as “lane-splitting,” which can be tricky for non-motorcyclists to anticipate or respond to safely.

It is sometimes easier to blame the motorcyclist for an accident. However, when the facts are carefully examined, almost 2/3 of motorcycle-versus-car crashes result from the failure of the car driver to see the motorcycle and subsequently violate the motorcyclist’s right-of-way. Car driver error most frequently occurs when a car is turning left and the driver does not see an oncoming motorcyclist. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident caused by drivers failing to yield to your right-of-way, then you need the assistance of an experienced Portland motorcycle accident attorney who can build a strong case for you and hold the responsible party accountable.

Travis represented me in an auto accident claim this year. Dealing with an accident can be overwhelming and anxiety producing. Travis was so helpful in explaining each step of the process.

“Travis negotiated to perfection.”

I was in my first car accident last November. I had no clue how complicated this was going to be. From the insurance/medical authorizations and reports to the vehicle rental, estimates, and repair process I was overwhelmed. I was also in a lot of pain during this time. Travis took over so I could focus on healing…

“Travis couldn’t have been better.”

Travis represented me in a personal injury and punitive damage claim in an incident where I was hit by a drunk driver. The case lasted roughly two years and was mentally and emotionally trying. That being said, Travis was helpful throughout and made sure that every move made in the case was broken down and that I understood clearly what was going on…

Seeking Insurance Coverage For Medical Costs And Lost Wages

If you have been involved in a motorcycle crash where the car driver is at fault, your immediate medical bills may be covered under optional medical payments (MedPay) coverage on your motorcycle policy, provided you elected to purchase this additional coverage. Note: Oregon motorcycle policies do not include PIP. If you did not purchase MedPay, the at-fault driver’s PIP does not pay your medical bills; instead, you would look to your health insurance and pursue the at-fault driver’s bodily-injury liability coverage for your damages. This initial coverage can help ease the financial strain following an accident. If your expenses exceed the at-fault driver’s liability limits, you may be able to collect additional compensation through your own Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage, if applicable. This coverage acts as a vital safety net, helping to protect you from the financial burden caused by the negligence of underinsured drivers. Seeking coverage for your medical expenses can be a daunting proposition, especially when dealing with insurance adjusters who are aggressively representing their companies and attempting to obtain the lowest possible settlements. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident where your medical expenses and lost wages exceed the amounts readily available from insurance, it’s crucial to consult with an experienced Portland motorcycle accident attorney. Experienced law firms like Mayor Law LLC can help maximize your settlement and deal with the complexities of insurance laws and liability issues, while also protecting your rights throughout the process.

You have come to the right place.

01.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH A PORTLAND MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?

A Portland motorcycle accident attorney can be different from normal personal injury cases in many aspects that require an understanding of laws pertaining to motorcyclists, as well as how to deal with cases involving major or catastrophic injuries. In a less complex personal injury case, there are usually defined costs for the injured party to obtain a “full” recovery, return to employment, and continue the enjoyment of life. Compare this to a major or catastrophic motorcycle accident where the injured party may suffer long-term permanent disability and never recovered normal functionality.

02.

WHY IS PORTLAND MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY, TRAVIS MAYOR, A GREAT CHOICE TO REPRESENT YOU WITH YOUR CASE?

Travis Mayor is an outstanding Portland Motorcycle Accident Attorney, committed to maximizing financial compensation for clients hurt as the result of another person’s negligence. As a former insurance defense lawyer, Travis knows firsthand how insurance companies evaluate cases, pressure parties into “lowball” settlements, and execute trial strategies. This valuable insight from the other side of the table, combined with experience handling hundreds of personal injury cases, is the reason Travis produces extraordinary results. He knows how to effectively prosecute personal injury claims, and has collected millions in settlements, jury verdicts and arbitration awards for his clients.

03.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM/LAWSUIT AFTER A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?

The simple answer is two years from the date you were injured; however, there are numerous exceptions which can shorten or increase the time frame. These exceptions have to do with filing various notices such as a Dram Shop Notice or Tort Claim Notice which must be filed within 180 days of the incident. On the other hand, there are increased limits for cases involving a fatality, or minors under the age of 18. In any case, you do not want to postpone your efforts to seek the support and advice of an experienced attorney sooner rather than later to evaluate your case and determine an appropriate course of action based on all of the case facts.
