At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, our Huntsville motorcycle accident lawyer represents riders injured on Alabama’s busy roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that motorcyclists are about 24 times more likely to die in a traffic crash compared to car occupants. This shows that riding a motorcycle is significantly more dangerous. These numbers show the harsh truth—motorcycle accidents often lead to severe or fatal injuries. Riders face not only physical trauma but also bias from insurance companies that often blame them unfairly.
We fight back against that bias. Our attorneys help clients across Huntsville and North Alabama recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and property damage. We understand the unique risks of motorcycle crashes and the legal challenges that follow. Whether your case involves high-speed impacts, negligent drivers, or wrongful death claims, we are ready to protect your rights and fight for justice.
At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we know that injured riders often face insurance adjusters who question their behavior instead of the driver’s. We make sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected. Our job is to investigate every part of the accident, gather evidence, and prove exactly who was at fault.
We handle all communication with the insurance company, prepare demand letters, and negotiate for fair settlements that cover both economic and non-economic damages. This includes medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and decreased earning potential. When necessary, we take the case to court and present your story to a jury. Our goal is simple—to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially after a devastating crash.
To calculate the true value of your claim, we work closely with a team of experts. This includes accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and financial advisors. As an experienced injury law firm, we make sure negligent parties are held accountable and your compensation reflects your losses and future needs.
At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we know that most motorcycle collisions happen because other drivers fail to see the rider or violate their right-of-way. These accidents often cause life-changing injuries and costly personal injury claims. Our motorcycle injury attorneys investigate every detail, from police reports to witness statements, to identify negligent parties and protect your legal rights. We have handled hundreds of motorcycle accident cases across Huntsville and Madison, Alabama, with proven results.
One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents involves a car turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the rider or misjudge their speed. These crashes lead to severe motorcycle accident injuries like fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and internal injuries. We work with collision attorneys and medical experts to prove fault and recover compensation for medical bills, pain, and property loss.
Many drivers fail to check blind spots or use turn signals, leading to dangerous lane-change collisions. Lane splitting—riding between lanes—is illegal in Alabama, and insurance companies often use this law against injured riders. We fight these defenses and rely on the comparative negligence doctrine to protect our clients’ claims. Our personal injury law firm ensures riders are not unfairly blamed for accidents they didn’t cause.
Motorcyclists face unique dangers from road hazards like potholes, gravel, and uneven pavement. Dooring accidents—when a driver opens a car door into a rider’s path—can cause serious harm or death. In some cases, liability extends to the municipality responsible for road maintenance. We pursue compensation under premises liability or local negligence laws, ensuring no negligent party escapes responsibility.
At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we have seen how devastating motorcycle crashes can be. Riders lack the protection of enclosed vehicles, meaning even minor impacts can cause catastrophic harm. Despite helmets and safety gear, victims often need long-term care and rehabilitation. Our Alabama motorcycle injury lawyer team helps victims recover full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and emotional pain.
Road rash is far more than scraped skin—it can lead to infection, scarring, and nerve damage. Severe cases, known as degloving injuries, often require skin grafts and reconstructive surgery. We include these injuries in your personal injury claim to ensure full coverage for rehabilitation and future medical treatment.
Broken bones are common after motorcycle crashes due to the force of impact with vehicles or the road. Victims may suffer fractured legs, arms, ribs, or pelvis. Multiple surgeries and months of therapy are often required. Our attorneys calculate these costs and include them in the settlement amount to ensure clients receive fair compensation for pain, medical bills, and lost wages.
Head injuries remain one of the most serious outcomes of motorcycle crashes, even when the rider wears a helmet. Traumatic brain injuries can cause memory loss, mood changes, and cognitive decline. Spinal cord injuries often result in paralysis or chronic pain that requires long-term care. Our motorcycle accident lawyers work closely with medical experts to build strong evidence and document every aspect of your injury case.
At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we know motorcycle accident cases are unlike other personal injury cases. Riders face bias, complex insurance disputes, and unique liability issues. Our personal injury attorneys use proven strategies to overcome these challenges and achieve fair settlements. We understand the Alabama legal system, local court procedures, and the challenges injured riders face every day.
Insurance adjusters often stereotype riders as reckless or irresponsible. We challenge that unfair bias with facts, evidence, and professional testimony. Our attorneys will show that negligent drivers, not reckless bikers, cause most motorcycle accidents. This approach helps secure higher settlements and ensures riders are treated fairly throughout the legal process.
We work with skilled accident reconstruction experts to uncover the truth behind every collision. They analyze skid marks, vehicle ratings, Helmet damage, and the accident scene to prove how the crash occurred. Using physics and medical depositions, we show that our client’s actions were reasonable and the other party was negligent. This evidence often determines the outcome of both insurance negotiations and court proceedings.
At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we take pride in representing riders across Huntsville and Madison with care and dedication. Motorcycle accidents often cause severe injuries and involve complex evidence. To make matters worse, insurance companies frequently try to place the blame on you. That's why we work tirelessly to uncover the truth, protect your rights, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
