If you’ve been hurt in a wreck that was someone else’s fault, a motorcycle accident attorney can help ensure that you aren’t unfairly blamed and that you have the best opportunity for collecting compensation after your motorcycle accident.
Almost without exception, motorcycle accidents lead to severe damages. For help getting fair compensation for your damages, reach out to a Spokane motorcycle crash lawyer.
A motorcycle accident is one of the most dangerous types of motor vehicle accidents you can be in. If you have been in one, you have likely suffered serious injuries, and, worse, you may not be able to get the coverage you need from your insurance.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to catastrophic injuries. Even with a helmet, you could be severely wounded and unable to work. Head injuries are especially common—without a barrier between your body and the road, a collision can be physically devastating.
On top of that, insurance companies can make getting the compensation you need to get back on your feet difficult. The unfortunate truth is that insurance companies try to stereotype motorcyclists. They may unfairly label you as reckless or careless, and this could hurt your claim for compensation.
The state of Washington does not require motorcycle insurance, so you may be stuck without the funds to fix your motorcycle, let alone cover your medical expenses. If you didn’t cause the collision, though, you deserve the compensation you need to get your life back. A Spokane motorcycle accident attorney with our firm can help you get what you need to get through this difficult time.
Motorcycles are subject to more issues that may cause accidents than other motor vehicles, such as cars. That means fault can come from many sources, from the operator of the motorcycle to the manufacturer.
One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents is that motorcycles are simply more difficult to handle than other vehicles, especially when you encounter road hazards. Issues that might be a minor bump for a car, such as potholes, could be a major difficulty for a motorcyclist. That’s why you may be able to hold a government road authority accountable for your motorcycle crash in Spokane.
Motorcycles are also a small visual target. In fact, over two-thirds of collisions are caused by larger vehicles violating the right-of-way of motorcyclists, often because they did not see the bike.
Another common issue is a high-speed “wobble.” If the tires are not properly aligned, driving at high speeds can cause accidents. These wobble accidents are an issue of design defects, rather than driver error, and you could receive compensation from the manufacturer or a mechanic.
Many of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the motorcycle rider, despite stereotypes that suggest otherwise. If you did not cause your accident, you deserve compensation, and a qualified lawyer can help you get it.
In a motorcycle accident, you could easily suffer catastrophic injuries. Because motorcyclists do not have a barrier between them and the road or another vehicle, they are more prone to lethal or even fatal accidents.
Below are a few possible injuries you might have suffered:
Even a minor accident can cause severe damage, but you have the chance to recover your losses. If you have suffered from any of these injuries, a motorcycle crash lawyer in Spokane can help you pursue full and fair compensation.

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
