Las Vegas, NV personal injury attorney Keith E. Galliher talks about the biggest challenges faced in motorcycle accident cases. He noted that most jurors often hold the belief that motorcycle riders are not very careful. They tend to picture bikers weaving through traffic, pulling up behind cars, slamming on their brakes, or performing stunts like wheelies. This mindset leads them to assume that the motorcycle rider is likely negligent, even when that is not the case in a particular incident. As a result, the challenge for the attorney is to persuade the jury that the motorcycle rider was not at fault, given that jurors are generally inclined to think otherwise.
