Motorcycle cases present unique challenges. Motorcycle riders are typically not eligible for no-fault benefits in Minnesota. So making sure that the medical bills are taken care of is extra important. Motorcycle riders face additional challenges because drivers don’t see them and points of view and vantage points are very different. So accident reconstruction can be very important in motorcycle cases. In one case, we had a situation where a turning vehicle couldn’t see the motorcycle because of an obstruction that wouldn’t’ve covered a vehicle, but it did cover the motorcycle, and turned into the path of the motorcycle, creating a catastrophic head injury and a life-changing injury. Fortunately, we were able to help that family and make a fair recovery for that family that will help them for the rest of their lives.

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.
