Riding a motorcycle offers freedom and excitement, but it also comes with significant risks. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Helena or anywhere across Montana, you need more than sympathy—you need a knowledgeable attorney who understands motorcycle accident law and can fight for your rights. At Wall, McLean & Gallagher, PLLC, we are dedicated to guiding motorcycle accident victims through the legal process with compassion, clarity, and aggressive advocacy for the compensation they deserve.
Motorcycle accidents can happen for many reasons, often involving factors beyond the rider’s control. Some of the most common causes include:
Distracted drivers: Cars and trucks failing to notice motorcycles on the road.
Speeding and reckless driving: Both motorcycle riders and other drivers can contribute to crashes.
Impaired driving: Alcohol or drugs significantly increase accident risk.
Road hazards: Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, and poor weather conditions.
Left-turn collisions: One of the most frequent motorcycle accident scenarios, often when drivers fail to see oncoming bikes.
Understanding the cause of your accident is essential in building a strong personal injury case, and our team works diligently to uncover every detail.
Motorcycle accidents often lead to serious and sometimes life-altering injuries. Because motorcycles offer little protection, even minor accidents can result in significant harm. Common injuries include:
Broken bones and fractures
Head and brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Road rash and lacerations
Internal injuries
Soft tissue injuries such as torn ligaments and muscles
These injuries can impact your ability to work, enjoy life, and manage daily responsibilities. We focus on ensuring you are compensated for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
