Riders in our area love the great views of nature. The Columbia and Yakima rivers, the Sacagawea Heritage Trail, and the Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve are just some of the attractions. Motorcycle owners love riding with other riders. Motorcycles are much more affordable than passenger cars. There are dangers, though. It’s easy to lose control of a motorcycle. Crashes often cause catastrophic injuries. Many motorcycle riders die when a collision occurs.

Motorcycles are inherently dangerous for several reasons:
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 5,000 motorcyclists died in 2019. A motorcycle rider is nearly 30 times as likely to die and four times as likely to be injured as an occupant of a passenger car.
Many motorcycle accident victims live with injuries that affect every part of their life. At Telaré Law, our Richland motorcycle accident lawyers represent clients with complex, catastrophic claims such as:
Most victims, if they’re lucky enough to survive, have huge medical bills for their emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitative care, and psychological trauma. Many victims are unable to use parts of their body. Many motorcycle accident victims have difficulty performing simple daily tasks.
Motorcycle accidents often cause a rider to slide along the asphalt or gravel. As the victim slides, the victim’s skin is in constant contact with these harsh surfaces, causing “road rash.” Road rash victims usually require skin grafts and plastic surgery to manage the pain and improve the victim’s appearance. Infections are a known complication. Many victims end up with nerve damage, shattered bones, and permanent disfigurement. Victims with road rash also usually require psychological counseling.
We highlight this injury because road rash is a far more significant injury than insurance companies like to admit. Our Richland motorcycle accident lawyers work with your physicians and our network of physicians to verify and document what your medical injuries are, why they require so much physical and emotional care, and how the injuries affect your ability to work, enjoy your family, and participate in the joys of life.
