There is a strict Oklahoma Motorcycle Accident Statute of Limitations relating to any Motorcycle Accident Injury, that limits the amount of time you have to file a legal claim.

There are over 7.1 million motorcycles on the road, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. With that many people enjoying the open road on motorcycles, car and truck drivers have no excuse not to expect to encounter them and have a duty to be cautious to respect their rights.
Because motorcycles do not provide their riders the protection that other vehicles do, often serious injuries result when collisions occur. Road hazards such as objects in the road or potholes are much more dangerous for motorcycles than for other vehicles.
Driving a motorcycle takes more physical ability and skill. An inexperienced rider can be a hazard to themselves and other riders. High speed "wobbling" accidents can occur when the front or rear wheels are out of alignment or due to manufacturing defects which can be the responsibility of the motorcycle dealers or manufacturers. Defective brakes can also be a dealer or manufacturing problem.
Motorcycle accident injuries can severely impact the quality and enjoyment of your life. The pain and inability to function normally can keep you not only from the things you need to do but also the things you enjoy and want to do. Medical bills, lost wages and other expenses can quickly add up.
You may not be able to work for a long time and financial troubles can develop. Doctors appointments and treatment can take months. The insurance adjusters can try to take advantage of the situation with early pressure to settle for much less than you deserve or may deny your claim totally.
James Self will give you the advice you need and will work to get you the money and the justice you deserve.

Motorcycle Accident Injury Law Library Entry for Friday April 26, 2024
Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are popular modes of transportation, and have become even more so during recent years with the rising price of gasoline making efficient motorcycles more popular choices for people. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are very dangerous, resulting in serious accidents, including brain injury, spine injury, serious abrasion, and amputation injury.
About three-quarters of motorcycle accidents are related to another vehicle (more than 80% are passenger cars). In 78% of fatal motorcycle accidents, the point of impact is at the front of the motorcycle. Most often, the vehicle turns into the path of the oncoming motorcycle. This is more likely when the car is making a left-hand turn in front of the motorcycle.
While only about a quarter of motorcycle accidents do not involve another vehicle, these accidents are serious, and preventable. Most single-bike accidents are due to rider inexperience on their bike. Most motorcycle accident victims reportedly had less than five months on this particular bike. However, a recent study suggests that motorcycle training may not reduce motorcycle accident risk. Perhaps the only way to gain experience is to be out on the road on your bike. It is important to be careful during your learning period to avoid suffering serious injury as a result of a motorcycle accident.
If you suffered a motorcycle accident injury due to the fault of another driver, an injury lawyer may be able to help you get compensation.
