Your Greensboro Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Do You Have a Case?

The truth is, it depends—and we’ll always be honest with you about that. Here’s how we typically look at a motorcycle accident claim when someone reaches out. You don’t have to figure this out alone, but if you’re wondering whether your case is worth pursuing, these are the first things we’ll walk through together.

What Caused Your Motorcycle Accident?

The first thing we look at is how the accident happened. Most successful cases come down to proving that someone else was negligent—that they weren’t being safe or responsible, and that led to your injury.

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Unsafe Left Turns: One of the top causes of motorcycle crashes—drivers misjudge speed or fail to see riders altogether.
• Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or multitasking at the wheel puts motorcyclists in serious danger.
• Failure to Yield or Blind Spot Errors: Many drivers don’t properly check mirrors or blind spots before changing lanes or turning.
• Speeding and Aggressive Driving: Drivers who tailgate or speed reduce their ability to react and increase crash severity.
• Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, loose gravel, and lack of signage can all create deadly conditions for motorcyclists.
• Mechanical Failures: Defective brakes, tires, or lights—whether due to manufacturing defects or poor maintenance—can contribute to a crash.

If any of this sounds familiar, don’t brush it off. These situations are unfortunately very common, and they’re usually preventable.

What Injuries Did You Suffer?

Motorcycle injuries are often severe but even if your injuries seem manageable, they can lead to long-term consequences that a Greensboro personal injury lawyer can help you recover damages for—both physically and financially. So if you didn’t end up in the hospital, you may still have a case. We’ve worked with clients dealing with:

• Head or brain injuries (concussions, TBIs)
• Road rash that needed medical care or left scarring
• Spinal injuries or back problems that developed over time
• Broken bones, dislocated joints, torn ligaments
• PTSD, nightmares, anxiety around driving again

You don’t have to check every box. What matters is whether the injury affected your health, your work, or your daily life and that someone else caused it.

Am I Still Within the Legal Deadline?

North Carolina’s statute of limitations gives you 3 years from the date of the crash to file a motorcycle injury claim. But here’s the thing: waiting too long makes it much harder to build a strong case. Over time, evidence can disappear. Witnesses move. Memories fade. 

If we can get started early, we have a much better shot at protecting your rights and maximizing your compensation. Some cases, like those involving minors or government entities, also have different rules. We can help you determine if they apply to your case when you consult with an attorney.
