Kansas City, MO personal injury attorney Michael Waddell talks about the biggest challenges faced in motorcycle accident cases. The biggest challenge trial lawyers face in motorcycle cases is addressing the general public’s perception of motorcycle riders. There is often a prevailing belief that motorcycle riders are careless, drive too fast, and do not pay attention to their surroundings.

The role of the trial lawyer in representing an individual involved in a motorcycle accident is to help the jury understand that the client is just another citizen who must adhere to the same laws and rules of the road. It is essential to convey that, like all drivers, motorcycle riders are entitled to the protections of the law when dealing with individuals who fail to follow those rules and cause injuries.
