Kansas City, MO personal injury attorney Michael Waddell talks about the biggest challenges faced in motorcycle accident cases. He notes that one of the greatest challenges in motorcycle accident cases is overcoming the general public’s perception of motorcyclists. Many people assume that riders are reckless, speed excessively, or fail to pay attention while on the road.

As a trial lawyer representing motorcyclists, he explains, his role is to place the jury in the position of the client, showing that the rider is an ordinary citizen who obeys the rules of the road just like anyone else. By doing so, he ensures that the jury understands that his client is entitled to the same legal protections as any other driver when they are injured by someone who fails to follow traffic laws.
