If you ve recently been injured in a motorcycle accident, peace of mind is probably in short supply. My hope is that, in reading this book, you ll better understand what happened to you, what steps you should take now to secure a fair settlement, and what to expect in the future from the process of personal injury litigation. Most collisions between cars and motorcycles are the result of the driver s negligence, not the motorcyclist s. Drivers often fail to even see, much less properly gauge the speed of, nearby motorcycles. The injured motorcyclist both needs and deserves adequate compensation for the cost of medical bills, missed work, lost earning potential and the pain and suffering endured as a result of the accident.
