How Your Motorcycle Accident Case Works
When you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to have a lawyer that understands the difference in impact to you as an unrestrained rider, vs. someone who is in a motor vehicle. It is important to have someone on your side who believes in your freedom to ride and is willing to fight for your safety on the road.

LEGAL REFERENCE
Know Your Deadline: Arkansas gives you 3 years from the date of the crash to file a claim (Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-105(3)).
Watch for Bias: Arkansas's modified comparative fault rule (Ark. Code Ann. § 16-64-122) means you can't recover if you're 50% or more at fault. Insurers routinely try to shift blame onto riders simply because they were on a motorcycle - we push back hard on that assumption with the actual facts of the crash.
ARKANSAS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT FAQs
Will not wearing a helmet hurt my case?
It can be a factor insurance companies raise, but it doesn't automatically bar your claim in Arkansas. What matters most is whether the other driver caused the crash and whether your injuries were caused by the collision itself. We address helmet-related arguments head-on with the facts.
Why do insurance companies treat motorcycle claims differently than car accident claims?
There's an unfortunate bias that riders are reckless, and adjusters use that bias to try to minimize payouts. We counter that by presenting clear evidence of what actually happened and pushing back on assumptions that aren't based on the facts of your specific crash.
What if the driver who hit me claims they didn't see me?
"I didn't see the motorcycle" is one of the most common excuses insurance companies rely on, and it's rarely a valid defense. Drivers have a duty to watch for all traffic, including motorcycles. We build the case around what the driver should have seen and done.
