Riders face a double injustice after a crash: injuries that are almost always more serious than those in a car accident, and a bias — from insurance adjusters and sometimes juries — that assumes the motorcyclist must have been at fault. We push back on that bias hard.
Scott Adams has spent decades representing injured people in Cabarrus & Rowan County, including riders hurt by drivers who simply failed to look. Most motorcycle wrecks aren't caused by the rider; they're caused by inattentive drivers who aren't paying attention to the other vehicles on the road.
Worth knowing: North Carolina's contributory negligence rule makes the insurance company's anti-rider bias especially dangerous — if they can convince anyone you were even slightly at fault, they can deny the claim outright. Building a clean, well-evidenced narrative of the crash is everything in a motorcycle case.
