What a South Gastonia Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Do for You
A South Gastonia motorcycle injury attorney can protect your rights and provide you with legal options while evening the playing field since the other party and their insurance company will likely have legal representation working against your best interests.

- No attorney fees unless you recover compensation
- Access to our 24/7 helpline for answers to your questions
- Upfront, helpful, and honest service

- Regular case updates
We will guide you through the legal process as we work on your case, which includes investigating the accident and gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, expert opinions, medical records, traffic camera footage, and photographs to determine fault and prove liability for your motorcycle accident.
The insurance company will likely make a settlement offer, which we will review to determine if it is adequate to cover your losses. If not, we will negotiate to reach a fair settlement. We are not afraid to take your case to trial if necessary to recover the compensation you deserve.
Types of Damages a South Gastonia Motorcycle Crash Lawyer Can Help You Seek
Motorcycle accident victims often incur extensive losses because of their lack of protection, risking more severe injuries that can require extensive medical treatment and long recovery times, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, road rash, and severe lacerations.
Recovering fair compensation is crucial to avoid being stuck paying your expenses when another party is liable for your damages. A South Gastonia motorcycle crash attorney from our legal team can help you seek the following types of damages:

Act Now Before the Deadline in Your Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Expires
You generally only have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Gaston County, according to G.S. §1-52. The deadline to file a wrongful death lawsuit is generally two years, per G.S. § 1-53. You risk losing your right to file a lawsuit to recover damages in court if the statute of limitations in your case expires without taking action.
We will work to meet all deadlines in your case so you can have your day in court if necessary. The sooner we take your case, the sooner we can start gathering evidence before it’s too late. Don’t let the negligent party and their insurer run out the clock. You have the right to obtain legal representation and file a civil action.
Can North Carolina’s Helmet Laws Impact Your Motorcycle Accident Claim?
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, wearing a helmet as a rider or passenger is a legal requirement in North Carolina, regardless of age or experience. As such, failure to wear a helmet could harm your motorcycle accident case because the other party may claim you are partially at fault for your injuries.
We strongly urge all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear protective headgear. A helmet can save your life by preventing traumatic brain injury and protecting your right to secure compensation after an accident.
