Connect with the Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Team in Edmonton
While riding a motorcycle can offer a thrilling sense of freedom, it's essential to recognize the potential risks involved. In Edmonton, motorcycle accidents often lead to more severe injuries than car accidents. This heightened risk is primarily due to motorcyclists' reduced protection against blunt force trauma, making it tragically common for these accidents to result in serious or even fatal injuries. Safety awareness and preventive measures are crucial for every rider's well-being.
You should contact a lawyer if you or one of your loved ones has been in a motorcycle accident and suffered injuries. McCourt Law Offices has experience representing motorcycle accident victims with care, concern and compassion. We can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Without the protection automobiles provide, such accidents result in serious injuries. Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries include:

HOW TO DETERMINE FAULT
In Alberta, drivers and passengers of motorcycles, mopeds, etc. must wear approved motorcycle helmets. If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your motorcycle accident in Edmonton, your insurance company may view this as contributing to your injuries, which could reduce your settlement. However, it does not mean the accident is your fault.
Also , if you alone crashed your motorcycle, you may still have insurance benefits available. Some motorcycle insurance plans include accident benefits, which may cover you even if you caused your accident. As such, you may still entitled to to "no-fault" benefits.
