Motorcycle Accident Wrongful Death Lawyers 

Crushed Dreams & Broken Roads: Understanding Motorcycle Crashes 

Riding a motorcycle is somewhat a reminder of pure freedom. You feel the wind on your face, with the open road stretching ahead. But that freedom comes with risk. A split-second mistake, a distracted driver, or hazardous road conditions can lead to tragedy.  

If you’ve lost a loved one because of a motorcycle accident, speaking with a wrongful death lawyer can help you understand your options. When you work with Horn Wright, LLP, you’re choosing to hire one of the best law firms in America recognized for always putting clients first.  

Whether you're struggling to recover from serious injuries or grieving, our team is ready to stand up for your rights so you can focus on recovery. 

Why Do So Many Riders Never Make It Home? 

 Motorcycle accidents happen fast—one moment you're cruising, the next, everything changes. Most crashes aren’t the rider’s fault. Here’s what puts motorcyclists in danger: 

• Distracted Driving – Drivers texting, eating, or fiddling with their radios often fail to see motorcycles. In 2022, over 6,000 motorcyclists lost their lives in crashes. 
• Failure to Yield – Many drivers don’t respect a motorcyclist’s right-of-way. Nearly 75% of motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle violating a rider’s space.  
• Speeding & Reckless Driving – Drivers going too fast don’t have time to react. That’s why speeding is a leading cause of fatal crashes.  
• Driving Under the Influence – Almost half of fatal motorcycle crashes involve alcohol. 
• Road Hazards – Potholes, loose gravel, and slick roads are dangerous for motorcycles. Unlike cars, bikes don’t have the stability to absorb impact safely. 
• Poor Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and ice make it harder to see and control a motorcycle. 

You can do everything right and still end up in a crash. If someone else’s negligence puts you in harm’s way, you have the right to seek compensation. Our personal injury lawyers will guide you from the outset so you’re able to recover the compensation you deserve in your wrongful death case. 

When Tragedy Strikes: Understanding Wrongful Death  

Losing a loved one in a motorcycle crash is gut-wrenching. The sudden loss, the unanswered questions. It’s too much to bear. When someone else’s recklessness caused the accident, the pain cuts even deeper. 

A wrongful death lawsuit after a motorcycle crash allows you to hold the at-fault party accountable. To win your case, you’ll need to prove: 

• The responsible party had a duty to drive safely. 
• They were careless, reckless, or negligent. 
• Their actions caused the accident and your loved one’s death. 
• You and your family suffered financial and emotional harm because of the loss. 

Claims can help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, and the loss of companionship. Nothing can replace your loved one, but getting justice can help bring closure. 

Fighting for What’s Yours: Seeking Compensation for Motorcycle Wrongful Deaths 

Insurance companies don’t play fair. They’ll offer lowball settlements, hoping you’ll accept less than you deserve. That’s why having a motorcycle accident attorney who knows how to aggressively pursue a wrongful death claim makes all the difference. A lawyer will fight back, negotiate aggressively, and, if necessary, take your case to court.  

Here’s what you can recover: 

• Medical bills and rehabilitation costs 
• Lost wages and future earnings 
• Pain and suffering 
• Emotional distress 
• Funeral and burial expenses 

Survive the Aftermath: Steps to Take After  

The moments after a crash are chaotic. But what you do next can impact your health and your ability to get compensated. 

• Get Medical Help – Even if you feel fine, get checked out. Some injuries take time to show up. 
• Call the Police – A police report serves as critical evidence. 
• Take Photos & Gather Evidence – Capture the scene, damage, and any visible injuries. 
• Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters Alone – They’ll twist your words to reduce your payout. 
• Call a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer – A lawyer protects your rights and fights for maximum compensation. 

No Win, No Fee: How Contingency Fees Work at Horn Wright, LLP, for Motorcycle Injury Cases 

Worried about paying for a lawyer? Don’t be. Our legal team at Horn Wright, LLP, works on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay a dime upfront. We only get paid if we win your case. 

This way, you can focus on healing while we handle the legal battle. If we secure compensation for you, our fees come out of the settlement—not your pocket.
