Riding a motorcycle is a passion for many North Carolinians, offering freedom and adventure on the open road. But when a rider is involved in a crash, the results can be devastating. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, seat belts, or airbags, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to serious injury—or worse.

If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident in Charlotte or anywhere in North Carolina, the LawyerPower Office of Mark Farbman is ready to help. With 30+ years in practice, over 3,000 cases resolved, and 3,000+ clients served, we bring the experience and results you need in your corner.

The Risks of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are far more likely to suffer traumatic injuries or death in a crash compared to car occupants. National statistics show motorcyclists are 5 times more likely to be injured and 25 times more likely to be killed in an accident than passengers in standard vehicles.

In our experience handling motorcycle cases throughout Charlotte, most serious crashes are caused by the other driver—not the motorcyclist. Inattentive car and truck drivers often fail to check blind spots, yield at intersections, or see motorcycles due to their smaller profile.

These mistakes cost bikers everything.

How We Help Motorcycle Accident Victims

When you trust us with your case, our team moves quickly to:

• Investigate the cause of the crash
• Locate and interview eyewitnesses
• Preserve crucial evidence before it disappears
• Examine the at-fault driver’s phone records for distracted driving
• Identify all liable parties to expand the compensation sources
• Push back against insurance bias and lowball offers

We know what to look for and how to build a strong, fact-based case. Insurance companies often blame riders unfairly—we fight back using hard evidence, not assumptions.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe. Common injuries we see include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Neck and spine damage
• Herniated discs
• Fractures and broken bones
• Amputations
• Severe road rash and burns
• Facial injuries and disfigurement
• Loss of sight or hearing
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

These injuries can require months or years of treatment and often affect a person’s ability to earn a living. We work to ensure every medical expense, lost wage, and long-term need is factored into your claim.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Happen

Even when riders follow the law and wear proper gear, they’re often at the mercy of larger, less-attentive drivers. Common causes of motorcycle crashes include:

• Drivers following too closely
• Failure to yield or running red lights
• Unsafe lane changes
• DUI or impaired driving
• Left-turn collisions
• Distracted driving (texting, calls, etc.)

We hold negligent drivers accountable. If your accident was caused by someone else’s failure to share the road responsibly, you deserve compensation.

When and Where Motorcycle Accidents Occur

Motorcycle crashes are more likely to happen:

• Between 3 PM and 6 PM, during evening traffic congestion
• During warmer months (May–September) when more riders are on the road
• In urban areas, where visibility and traffic density are issues
• With male riders, who statistically account for the majority of serious injuries and fatalities

In North Carolina, helmet use is required for all riders—and for good reason. Wearing a helmet drastically reduces the risk of brain injury and death. But even with full gear and caution, riders can still fall victim to negligent drivers.

Overcoming Insurance Bias Against Motorcyclists

Unfortunately, there is a real bias against motorcycle riders—by both drivers and insurance companies. Insurers may try to paint the rider as reckless to avoid paying a fair settlement.

We know how to challenge that bias in and out of court. From investigating the scene to screening jurors who may hold negative assumptions about bikers, we focus on proving fault and demanding full accountability.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle crash:

1. Seek immediate medical treatment—your health comes first, and early documentation helps your case.
2. Do not speak to insurance adjusters until you’ve talked to an attorney.
3. Keep all medical records, repair estimates, and photos.
4. Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer right away.

Time matters. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. The sooner you involve us, the stronger your case will be.
