An Advocate for Motorcycle Riders
We all know that riding a motorcycle can be exhilarating, but it also poses special risks. Motorcycles are harder to see and more susceptible to severe road conditions. Because they have little structural protection, they can expose riders to serious injury, including head injuries, spinal injuries, fractures, amputation or road rash injuries, especially if they are involved in an accident involving an automobile.
If you or a family member has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you can turn to me, Mississauga lawyer Tim Leigh-Bell. I have been helping accident victims and their families throughout Ontario for more than 30 years. As your advocate, I will help you understand what to do next and personally handle every aspect of your case to obtain the compensation benefits you need.
Common Motorcycle Accidents
Because motorcycles are relatively smaller than other motorized vehicles, drivers may have a harder time seeing you — even if you are driving appropriately in your lane. They may also misjudge how fast your vehicle is actually travelling. Furthermore, you may feel disrespected by others due to unfounded stereotypes of being "rebellious" or "reckless." Whatever your situation, I handle accident cases involving:
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Accidents caused by left-turning cars into oncoming traffic
- Rear-end accidents
- Accidents resulting from dangerous road conditions
- Reckless driving accidents
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Accidents caused by defective repairs
What If I'm at Fault or Partly at Fault?
If you lost control of your motorcycle, you can still recover benefits through your own insurance company for medical and rehabilitation expenses, attendant care, income replacement and some optional benefits. Most insurance companies are willing to begin payment of accident benefits, but many stop paying before the claim has been completed. As your advocate, I will work to ensure these benefits are paid in full so you can maintain financial stability.
