Toronto Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Motorcycle accidents cause dozens of deaths and hundreds of serious injuries throughout Ontario every year. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, 53 people were killed and 1,571 were injured in motorcycle accidents in the province during 2006, the most recent statistics available.
The personal injury lawyers of McLeish Orlando LLP help people injured in motorcycle accidents obtain full accident benefits. We also file personal injury claims to pursue financial compensation for damages caused by negligence.
Motorcycle accidents can cause extremely serious injuries, including:
- Brain injuries, including concussions and other closed head injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures and other serious orthopaedic injuries
- Lacerations and abrasions (road rash)
- Permanent physical and emotional scars
Nearly anyone who rides a motorcycle can describe close calls with other drivers who were distracted, belligerent or otherwise negligent. Some involve drivers intentionally edging motorcyclists off the road, or failing to yield to a motorcyclist who is legally turning left in front of oncoming traffic. Many accidents occur because other drivers simply did not see the motorcyclist. Often the problem is that the other driver failed to look.

Juries sometimes have a bias against motorcyclists, but our trial lawyers know how to overcome these assumptions. We prepare every case for trial, even though the majority of them settle outside of court. Our reputation and record of success at trial encourages the opposition to offer our clients fair settlements.
