What Counts As A Catastrophic Motorcycle Case

To focus resources on those facing the toughest recoveries, we prioritize:

01

Surgery for broken bones or internal injuries

02

Traumatic brain injury or spinal damage

03

ICU or extended hospital stays

04

Amputation, paralysis, or lasting impairment

We also consider significant soft-tissue cases when liability is clear and a quick resolution is realistic. If your crash involved a passenger vehicle, see how we handle car accidents when multiple insurers and coverages are in play.

Maryland Helmet Law And Bias In Rider Claims

Maryland requires helmets for most riders, and they save lives—but not wearing one doesn’t automatically end a claim. Many injuries, including leg, arm, or spine, occur regardless of head protection. We push back on rider bias by grounding the case in facts: crash reconstruction, camera footage, and eyewitness accounts that clarify what a careful driver should have seen and done. If a commercial vehicle was involved, see how we handle truck accident cases with early requests for driver logs, ELD data, and vehicle downloads to preserve key proof.

Insurance Basics For Riders: PIP, UM, And Property Damage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) can cover medical bills and part of lost wages, depending on your policy. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM coverage may step in. When a bike is totaled, we walk through valuation disputes, aftermarket parts, and repair or replacement options while the injury claim moves forward. Timoll Law Group coordinates these benefits so your treatment stays on track.

Understand Your Coverage

From Video To Medical Proof: Building A Strong Motorcycle Injury Claim

We move quickly to gather police reports, scene photos, traffic or security video, and witness information. Medical records and imaging show the extent of harm, as well as riding gear and helmet inspections can also matter. When speed or visibility is disputed, we consult appropriate reviewers and prepare the matter as if it may go to trial. For immediate help, you can contact us today to start a fast review of your documents.

Intersections And Corridors With Frequent Bike Crashes

Serious collisions often occur at merges on I-95 and I-695, on curves along Falls Road, and at busy intersections in Harbor East, Fells Point, and near stadium traffic. Lane-splitting isn’t permitted, but drivers still misjudge space, cut across lanes to make turns, or open doors into traffic near Patterson Park and Highlandtown. Timoll Law Group tailors records requests to each corridor—camera sources, nearby businesses, and roadway maintenance logs—to secure proof before it disappears. From Baltimore to Prince George’s County, we’re here when you need us.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Injured Motorcyclists Ask Most

Two surgeons are operating on a patient in an operating room.

  • If I wasn’t wearing a helmet, do I still have a case?

    It depends on the injuries and how the crash happened. Lack of a helmet does not bar claims for harms unrelated to head protection. We review the facts and explain how Maryland law applies.

  • How are motorcycle claims valued?

    Insurers and juries consider medical treatment, future care, lost income, and how the injuries changed daily life. Clear documentation and consistent care help demonstrate the full impact.

  • What if the driver “didn’t see me”?

    We counter visibility claims with evidence—video, measurements, and witness accounts—to show where each vehicle was and what a careful driver should have noticed.

  • Can I use PIP?

    Depending on your policy, PIP may cover some medical bills and wages no matter who caused the crash. We review your declarations page and help coordinate benefits.

  • Trial vs. settlement—what’s typical?

    Many cases resolve after treatment stabilizes and the records are complete. Others require litigation when liability or damages are disputed. We discuss a realistic timeline based on your goals and medical progress.
