Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders continue to be overrepresented in fatal traffic crashes. In 2019, 5,014 motorcyclists died and 84,000 were injured in traffic accidents in the United States. Per vehicle miles traveled in 2017, motorcyclist fatalities occurred nearly 27 times more frequently than passenger car occupant fatalities in traffic crashes.

Large Truck Accidents
In 2018 there were 4,951 people killed in crashes involving large trucks, almost a 1-percent increase from 2017. Seventy-one percent of people killed in large truck crashes in 2018 were occupants of other vehicles. Seventy-seven percent of the fatal crashes involving large trucks in 2018 occurred on weekdays (6 a.m. Monday to 5:59 p.m. Friday). Three percent of the drivers of large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2018 had blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) of .08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or higher. Large-truck drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2018 had a higher percentage (21.2%) of previously recorded crashes compared to drivers of other vehicle types (motorcycles, 19.8%; passenger cars, 19.0%; and light trucks, 17.5%).

In accidents involving motorcycles, large trucks, and buses, it is important that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the applicable statute of limitations. These are matters we can help you with. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle, truck or bus accident caused by the carelessness of another, call Falke & Dunphy, LLC, at (937) 222-3000 to speak with an attorney.
The initial consultation in such cases is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, we will provide our legal services on a contingent fee basis, which means we receive legal fees only if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Don’t delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.
