Rochester, MN personal injury lawyer Paul Dahlberg talks about a memorable case in which he got a sizable recovery for a family involved in a catastrophic accident. He explains that motorcycle cases present distinct challenges that require careful attention. Unlike other motorists, motorcycle riders in Minnesota are typically not eligible for no-fault benefits. Therefore, ensuring that their medical expenses are properly addressed becomes even more crucial. Additionally, motorcycle riders face unique obstacles as they are often overlooked by other drivers due to differences in visibility and vantage points. In motorcycle cases, accident reconstruction plays a vital role in establishing liability.

We encountered a notable case where a turning vehicle failed to spot a motorcycle due to an obstruction that would not have obstructed the view of a larger vehicle. Tragically, this resulted in a catastrophic head injury and a life-altering situation for the motorcycle rider. Fortunately, our assistance proved invaluable to the family as we were able to secure a fair recovery that will provide ongoing support for the remainder of their lives.
