Motorcycle Accident Statistics

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports the number of motorcyclists killed in crashes rose 7 percent in 2012, with 4,947 riders killed in fatal motorcycle accidents and approximately 93,000 injured in crashes.

Motorcyclists face serious risks any time they take to the open road — often the direct result of the actions of other drivers. No matter how seasoned a rider, when a negligent driver is nearby, the potential for a serious or fatal accident is extremely high. A high percentage of motorcycle injuries and deaths are the result of the actions of a negligent vehicle driver. Distracted driving, speeding, inattentive driving, drunk driving, and drivers who simply fail to notice a motorcyclist is nearby can leave an innocent rider suffering serious, catastrophic, or fatal injuries.

On average, there are about 268 motorcycle accidents every day across the USA. In all, motorcyclists account for 15 percent of all fatal car accidents, and 18 percent of occupant fatalities, while making up only 3 percent of the registered vehicles in the country. These shocking numbers have led the agency to calculate that motorcyclists are currently 26 times more likely to die in a traffic accident and 5 times more likely to be injured than passenger vehicle drivers or their occupants. This leaves many families grieving the loss of a loved one, or accident victims are dealing with the consequences of a serious injury.

Client Testimonials

“I cannot say enough good things about him. He showed great professionalism and his office staff was always so easy to work with.”

I was in a motorcycle accident and my fiance and I retained Ed to assist us with a personal injury settlement. I cannot say enough good things about him. He showed great professionalism and his office staff was always so easy to work with. Ed was readily available to answer all our questions and always returned calls promptly. Additionally, he was careful to explain this process to me in a way that I could understand and he showed the deepest compassion to myself and my fiance. He got us a great settlement, and I could not have asked for better representation. I will most certainly refer friends and family to him in the future and I highly recommend him.

SUMMER HALLIGAN, ARCATA, CA

“This is why I very strongly endorse Ed Casey, he is the attorney to see for any personal injury needs you may incur.”

I was involved in a serious 2 car auto collision on 21 January 2011. A lady made a right turn from the left lane, on a surface street going roughly 40 to 45 mph. I was traveling in the right lane going roughly the same speed. She claimed that I was in her blind spot. I was seriously injured, My C-4 and C-5 were crushed, and I had a concussion. I was taken by ambulance to a hospital nearby. After an MRI, it was deciphered that I would require surgery as soon as possible. However, I was unable to have the necessary surgery for four days after the collision, due to the swelling on my brain from the concussion. The really frightening part was that I was losing feeling in my arms, fingers, and hands. I am so grateful to have connected with Ed Casey. He has taken such excellent care of me during this whole nightmare after the collision. I relied upon his knowledge and expertise to sort things out for me. I wouldn’t have known where to even begin after the surgery. I was in a great deal of pain, and on pain medication for many weeks after my operation. Ed genuinely cared about how I was feeling and how I was doing after the surgery and was very compassionate. You won’t find a more caring, hardworking, and motivated attorney than Ed Casey. Ed has done an outstanding job on my case and I am extremely pleased with his work.

JANN MACCOLLAM, SAN MARCOS, CA

“Ed Casey is such a litigator. Ed evaluated his case, understood the risks, and had articulated them to his clients.”

As a mediator, it is a rare pleasure to work with counsel who combines the aggressive representation of their clients with pragmatism, creativity, and realism. Ed Casey is such a litigator. I had the pleasure of working with Ed on a complex construction case that was (for the second time) on the eve of trial. There was no beating around the bush: Ed had evaluated his case, understood the risks, and had articulated them to his clients. He came prepared to resolve the case and once he had articulated a reasonable settlement position, he stuck with it and the case resolved – a good result for all involved.

SARAH BURKE, ESQ., BURKE ADR

“Ed Casey very successfully helped us through a most difficult time. We cannot thank Ed Casey enough for the work he did on our family’s behalf.”

Ed Casey very successfully helped us through a most difficult time. No family wants to be put in a position where legal action is necessary — but when it is, Ed delivers. He does his job with care and sensitivity as well as precision and great attention to detail. Like the conductor of an orchestra, he knows when to bring in each player, all of whom have the benefit of thorough preparation and practice with the maestro himself. With Ed, there are no nasty surprises and no false promises. He carefully builds the evidence needed to prove the case, including the use of highly qualified expert witnesses for optimal effect. We cannot thank Ed Casey enough for the work he did on our family’s behalf.

RITA DIAMOND COHEN, ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA

“Mr Casey communicated by phone, mail, and in person to my parents, brother, and myself. He followed through on every step and kept us informed.”

On January 20 2009 my mother who was 88 at the time, was taking a walk down her street. As my mother was walking, a neighbor backed her car out of her garage and down her driveway. My mother did not see her and she did not see my mom. Mom was knocked over into the street. My mother sustained a fractured left hip, elbow, wrist and ring finger. She received a partial hip replacement, the tip of her elbow was screwed and wired back in place. Her fractured wrist and finger were left to heal unaided due to the movement restriction on the elbow. My mother was away from her home until the beginning of April due to hospital time, rehab in a facility, and assisted living care. Mr Casey communicated by phone, mail, and in person to my parents, brother, and myself. He followed through on every step and kept us informed. Matters were taken care of in a timely fashion. He understood my parents needs and situation. He listened to their desires and added his own input when needed. He took care of their medicals bills, caregiver bills, assisted living bills, and helped them to be prepared for any future health needs. I would highly recommend Mr Casey. Thank you.

CAROL MULLER, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

“I could not have received better representation or expected more, but I did get more; Edward C. Casey Jr. is my attorney and my friend.”

Ed Casey came highly recommended when I required an attorney capable of handling my complex issues. My family’s very financial life, future and home were at risk due to crimes committed by my then wife. Mr. Casey listened actively and intently to every facet of my situation and asked all the right questions to discern my legal options. At that time my legal problems became our legal solutions. While retaining an attorney is hiring an attorney, I felt from the minute I began working with Ed that he was my partner in my case. We worked closely through the entire process and Ed’s professionalism, insight and expertise were evident every step of the way. Ed was diligent in everything he did. He was timely and reliable and kept me accurately informed. He was always available to answer any question or concern and took a personal interest, not just my case, but in me and my family as well. Ed was exemplary in preparing, managing and trying my cases. I could not have received better representation or expected more, but I did get more; Edward C. Casey Jr. is my attorney and my friend.

GLENN HOPPER, SAN JOSE, CA

“Our family was very fortunate to find him, and we highly recommend him.”

When my dear elderly mom was treated negligently at a very reputable Bay Area nursing home I wasn’t sure how to proceed. Not being the litigious type, but knowing Mom had suffered needlessly, I sought an assessment of our options. Ed Casey was a superb counselor, providing his concern and expertise, and ultimately reaching a fair settlement with the nursing home. In the most unfortunate of circumstances he not only got the job done, but also offered good humor and kindness along the way — not something I would normally expect from a personal injury attorney! Our family was very fortunate to find him, and we highly recommend him.

ELIZABETH E., ALBANY, CA

“He’s a professional doing what he does best: looking out for his clients. ”

On April 30th, 2004, I was involved in a horrific car accident. I was not at fault, rather it was a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I needed an attorney to help me navigate the very cumbersome and overwhelming legal and insurance processes. A close friend, who happens to be a corporate attorney, recommended Ed’s firm and it turned out to be the best thing I could have done to recover my significant medical expenses, lost property, loss of wages, and ultimately to receive a fair settlement for my pain and suffering. Ed was a true advocate; he was constantly pushing my agenda and worked with the attorneys for the involved parties to get me the best settlement. He’s a professional doing what he does best: looking out for his clients. Thank you Ed!

ANDRES BERGERO, CONCORD, CA

“I will always remember Ed’s great counsel and advocacy and would not hesitate to refer anyone to him in the future.”

I retained Ed Casey several years ago when my husband had been seriously injured in a high speed auto collision. There was very little insurance and my husband had incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Ed obtained significant compensation for my husband and got the hospital to reduce their bills drastically. Somehow it all worked out and I was so grateful for our great lawyer. In July 2003, I was devastated when three of my cousins were killed in a freeway collision. My aunt and uncle were immobilized by grief and the loss of their children. I knew we needed the best possible lawyer to help sort out this horrible incident and seek compensation from the negligent parties who took my cousins’ lives. With Ed’s tremendous legal skills and hard work, my aunt and uncle received very significant compensation for their unfathomable loss. I will always remember Ed’s great counsel and advocacy and would not hesitate to refer anyone to him in the future.

XUAN NGUYEN, SAN FRANCISCO, CA

“We are very pleased with Mr. Casey’s handling of our litigation as well as the outcome. Thank you Ed!”

The law offices of Ed Casey were a tremendous help in resolving issues related to water intrusion in our home. The foundation slab did not meet industry standards which resulted in moisture seepage. Also, during heavy rains water penetrated the back wall of our home causing damage to the interior. The builder of our home had attempted repairs but water continued to come through the wall. Ed and his team were able to negotiate a settlement with the builder enabling us to complete necessary repairs to correct the problems. Throughout this entire process, Mr. Casey and his associates took care of everything. There was minimal time and work required on our part, and no expenses directly out of our pocket. They called in experts for testing, they advised us each step of the way what to expect, and they communicated with us on a regular basis keeping us apprized of the negotiation status. This gave us complete confidence they had our best interest at heart in trying to reach a settlement agreement. We had never been involved in a lawsuit before and didn’t know what to expect. Mr. Casey made the whole experience easy and worthwhile. The settlement allowed us to have our floor sealed by a reputable firm and our back wall completely stripped and re-stuccoed. Without his assistance we might still be haggling with the builder or worse yet, incurring expenses to have the problems fixed ourselves. We are very pleased with Mr. Casey’s handling of our litigation as well as the outcome. Thank you Ed!
