Olympia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Injured in a Motorcycle Crash in Olympia?

Motorcycle riders are exposed to far more danger on the road, and far less protection. When a crash happens, the injuries are often serious or life-altering. To make matters worse, insurance companies are quick to blame the rider, even when they weren’t at fault.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Olympia or anywhere in Thurston County, you need someone who understands what you’re up against. At Morgan Hill PC, we help injured riders recover the compensation they deserve, and we don’t back down from insurers trying to shift the blame.

Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Are Different

Motorcycle injury cases aren’t like car accident claims. Here’s why:

• Riders are more likely to suffer serious injuries
• Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the motorcycle
• Jurors and adjusters may assume the rider was reckless
• Police reports don’t always reflect the full story
• The costs of treatment and long-term care can be much higher

We know how to overcome these challenges and present your case in a way that gets results.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Many motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers who:

• Turn left in front of oncoming riders
• Merge without checking blind spots
• Tailgate or follow too closely
• Open doors into a rider’s path
• Drive distracted or impaired

Even a minor mistake by a driver can result in devastating consequences for a motorcyclist.

Injuries and Long-Term Consequences

Motorcycle injuries are often catastrophic, and riders may face months or years of recovery. We frequently handle claims involving:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and crushed limbs
• Severe road rash and scarring
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Amputations and permanent disabilities

If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, we’ll make sure you’re not left paying the price.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and trauma
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Motorcycle repairs or total loss
• Wrongful death, if you lost a loved one

We’ll work with medical and financial experts to calculate the true value of your claim.

FAQ: Motorcycle Accidents in Washington

Q: What if the other driver says they didn’t see me?

A: That’s common - but it doesn’t excuse negligence. We’ll gather witness statements, camera footage, and forensic evidence to prove fault.

Q: Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

A: Yes, though your compensation may be reduced. Washington requires helmets, but not wearing one doesn’t automatically bar you from recovering damages.

Q: How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

A: You generally have 3 years in Washington, but evidence fades fast. Contact us as soon as possible.

Q: Do I need a lawyer for a motorcycle accident?

A: Absolutely. Insurance companies are more aggressive when it comes to riders. Having an attorney protects your rights and helps ensure you get a fair settlement.
