On Seattle’s busy streets, the joy and freedom of motorcycle riding are sometimes overshadowed by the risks involved, especially when speed contributes to accidents. At Bernard Law Group, we understand the impact of speed-related motorcycle accidents and how these incidents can impact the lives of victims and their families.
As Seattle motorcycle accident lawyers, we have witnessed firsthand the aftermath of these collisions—our experience and legal knowledge position us as leading advocates for those affected.
Understanding Speed-Related Motorcycle Accidents
A speed-related motorcycle accident occurs when a motorcycle is involved in a collision, directly attributed to either exceeding the speed limit or riding too fast for the road conditions. These accidents are particularly dangerous due to the limited protection motorcycles offer compared to cars, making speed a critical factor in the severity of injuries sustained by riders.
At Bernard Law Group, our understanding of these incidents as a leading injury attorney in Seattle positions us to provide our clients with the ability to build a strong case and help them secure the compensation they deserve.
The Impact of Speed on Safety
Speed causes many problems and challenges on the road. For example, it:
- Magnifies the potential for loss of control
- Reduces the effectiveness of protective gear
- Decreases the time available for riders and other road users to react
These factors combined increase the likelihood of accidents resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Our experience has shown that the faster a motorcycle is moving at the time of an accident, the more severe the consequences tend to be for the rider. The same is true for the vehicle that collides with a motorcyclist.

The Consequences of Speed-Related Motorcycle Accidents
Speed-related motorcycle accidents often have severe consequences that extend beyond the immediate impact, significantly affecting the lives of the victims and their families. At Bernard Law Group, we have witnessed the devastating outcomes of these accidents and understand the need for comprehensive legal support and advocacy.
Common Injuries and Fatalities
The lack of physical barriers between the rider and the road compounds the severity of injuries in speed-related motorcycle accidents.
Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Road rash
- Fatalities
The high velocity at impact greatly increases the risk of catastrophic outcomes, highlighting the grave dangers of speeding.
Financial Impact
Beyond the physical injuries, speed-related motorcycle accidents carry financial consequences. The financial burden can be as overwhelming as the physical impact, encompassing medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and, in some cases, funeral expenses.
Our mission as speed-related motorcycle accident attorneys in Seattle is to deliver justice and restore peace of mind to those affected by such traumatic events.
Legal Rights and Compensation for Victims
Victims of speed-related motorcycle accidents have specific legal rights designed to protect them and ensure they receive fair compensation for their injuries and losses. At Bernard Law Group, we specialize in navigating these complex legal landscapes and defending our clients’ rights.
Overview of Legal Rights for Victims
Victims are entitled to pursue claims for damages that encompass not only physical injuries but also emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and financial burdens resulting from the accident. Victims must understand their rights to seek compensation for medical treatments, ongoing care, lost wages, and, in cases of fatal accidents, wrongful death claims on behalf of the deceased’s loved ones.
Types of Compensation Available for Victims
The compensation available to victims of speed-related motorcycle accidents can be extensive. It includes economic damages for tangible losses, such as medical expenses and lost income, and non-economic damages for intangible losses, such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.
