Motorcycle accidents are particularly dangerous. When you’re riding, there’s little protection between you and the force of the impact. As a result, injuries are often severe. To make matters worse, insurance companies may unfairly assume the rider is at fault. At Knutson + Casey, we recognize the risks bikers face and the challenges they often encounter when seeking justice.

1. What should I do if the driver who caused the accident denies fault?
If the other driver denies responsibility, it’s essential to work with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer. We’ll investigate the case thoroughly, gather evidence, and build a strong case to prove fault, ensuring your rights are protected.
2. Can I still recover damages if I wasn’t wearing protective gear?
Yes, you can still recover damages if you weren’t wearing protective gear like a helmet. While Minnesota law allows insurance companies to reduce compensation based on your degree of fault, you’re still entitled to compensation for your injuries.
3. How can I prove that the other driver was at fault for the accident?
To prove fault, we gather evidence from multiple sources, including eyewitness statements, police reports, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction experts. We’ll ensure we have the strongest case possible to support your claim.

Common injuries from motorcycle accidents include traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and severe road rash. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, and we ensure they are fully documented in your case.
5. How long will it take to resolve my motorcycle accident case?
The duration of your case depends on several factors, including the complexity of the injuries and whether the case requires a trial. However, we work efficiently to resolve your case as quickly as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.
