Important Notice: Our firm can only assist clients with motorcycle accident claims that occurred before May 1st, 2021. Claims arising from accidents on or after this date are outside our scope of representation.

Motorcycle crashes have risen dramatically since 2017 across British Columbia, with fatalities increasing by more than 50% per year. The Preszler team of Burnaby motorcycle accident lawyers help injured riders and their families to recover damages from negligent parties. We respect the sense of freedom that riders get from their motorcycles, and we work tirelessly to get them the compensation they need to get back on their bikes as soon as possible after an accident.  

Hire a lawyer who understands the riding culture

Injured riders will always have a better chance of recovering larger damages awards when they retain a compassionate personal injury lawyer who understands the challenges of motorcycle accident cases. Negligent motorists often try to shift the blame by arguing that motorcycles are inherently dangerous or that the rider was careless. Our lawyers can discern where the blame for the accident lies, and why the motorist is liable for the biker’s injuries. In more severe cases where injuries result in long-term limitations, coordinating with our long-term disability lawyers serving Burnaby can be an important step in securing ongoing financial support.

Retain a Burnaby motorcycle accident lawyer with ICBC experience

You will likely need to deal with the Insurance Company of British Columbia (ICBC) after your motorcycle crash to recover any damages. An experienced Burnaby motorcycle accident lawyer can guide you through that process and can verify that you are receiving the maximum compensation that may be available– including coverage for your present as well as future medical expenses and lost wages. In most cases, you need to report your accident to the ICBC within 30 days to initiate your claim. Retain a lawyer as soon as you can after your accident to avoid missing this deadline.

Keep detailed records of your motorcycle accident and riding habits

 

You will improve your opportunity to recover greater damages if you collect and maintain all information about your motorcycle accident, including:

  • photographs of the vehicles involved in the accident and the accident scene;
  • invoices for medical services and repairs to your bike;
  • contact information for any witnesses who saw the crash;
  • notes about weather and road conditions at the time of the accident;
  • maintenance records for your bike;
  • any records of motorcycle safety classes or other training that you might have participated in.

motorcycle accident FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions for motorcycle accident claims

Motorcyclists are often more exposed and suffer serious injuries as a result when they crash. This can affect eligible compensation amounts. Prevalent bias against motorcycle riders can also make insurance claims more difficult.

Yes, but your compensation may be reduced if your failure to wear proper gear contributed to your injuries. This is because courts may apply the principle of contributory negligence to your case.

Generally, no. People driving motorcycles are subject to the same laws as people driving cars other than the fact that motorcyclists should wear helmets and protective gear.

In cases where both parties deny fault for the accident, it will be necessary to reconstruct how the accident happened. In these cases, it can be important to hire a lawyer who is familiar with the safety rules specific to motorcycles, such as the different lane positions, and how motorcycles react when involved in an accident, such as their tendency to accelerate and produce a falsely high speedometer reading.
