Accidents Caused by Negligent Motorists in North Carolina
In North Carolina, South Carolina and elsewhere in the United States, motorcycles have the same right of way that cars do on roads and highways. Sometimes, other motorists do not understand this right or do not pay enough attention to motorcycles who are sharing the road. The failure of cars and trucks to yield the right of way can cause accidents with motorcycles, many of which result in serious injuries to riders.
If you have been hurt, or you have had a family member injured, due to a car or truck failing to yield, you need an attorney who can help you get the compensation you deserve. At the Karney Law Firm, I have more than 30 years of experience helping bikers get large verdicts and settlements in personal injury lawsuits. I regularly take on and resolve challenging cases, some that would be considered unwinnable by other attorneys.

Common Types of Accidents Involving a Failure to Yield
Given the lack of protection that riders have on the road, collisions with cars and trucks commonly lead to significant injuries. Frequently, these accidents are caused by motorists who fail to respect motorcycles by:
- Not yielding the right of way
- Not checking his or her blind spot
- Sideswiping a motorcycle
- Turning in front of a biker without signaling
- Crowding a biker out of his or her lane
- Pushing a biker into oncoming traffic
- Red light accidents
After an accident, do not talk to the insurance company about your injuries or the circumstances of the accident. Instead, talk with me. I will make sure your rights are not compromised by those who want to limit the amount of money you will receive. As Carolinas' Biker Lawyer, there is no fight too tough to take on for my clients.
