MotorEagles^® - Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

It’s a disturbing fact that if you are in a crash on a motorcycle, you’re more likely to die than in a car, minivan, sport-utility vehicle, train or truck. What’s even more disturbing is the fact that, more often than not, motorcycle-involved crashes are not the fault of motorcyclists. For this reason, motorcycle enthusiasts who are lawyers and activists passionate about the safety of motorcyclists have joined to form MotorEagles^®.

We can help motorcycle accident injury victims. We’re not politicians, but our grassroots motorcycle safety advocates work hard to get local, state and federal motorcycle-friendly laws passed and enforced.

We want to call attention to motorcycle safety for riders and non-riders alike. Through various media campaigns and public appearances, our members are working hard to promote the safety of all motorcyclists and sensitize all motor vehicle drivers to be aware of motorcyclists.

To accomplish these goals, MotorEagles^® is mobilizing through a variety of education and public awareness campaigns, like our two most recent efforts: Save a Life. Look Twice, promoting motorcyclist awareness for the drivers of passenger vehicles, and Be Sure You’re Insured, aimed at educating riders about what types of insurance coverage will best protect them should the unthinkable happen.

Throughout this site, you will find a wealth of rider- and driver-related resources. Click on our MotorEagles^® Safety Resource Center link to see a listing of national and international motorcycle safety and policy advocacy groups, directories to state motorcycle laws, links to safety equipment reviews, manufacturers and retailers and safety advice from seasoned riders, safety experts and public safety professionals.

Our MotorEagles^® Initiatives page lists and explains the various motorcycle safety and public education campaigns – past, present and future – developed by the MotorEagles activists. On the motorcycle accident settlements and verdicts page, you’ll find a list of motorcycle accident and other injury cases, a little bit about each one and the settlement or verdict reached through the work of our motorcycle accident attorneys. Finally, the Featured Articles, Facts and Figures page is a virtual library of feature articles and interviews about motorcycle safety, insurance, legislation, laws, events and activities. This page also features recent studies about motorcycle safety, videos and links to outside publications and Web sites focused on motorcycle safety, riding, equipment and lifestyle.

The Contact MotorEagles^® link provides various ways to get in touch with the motorcycle safety advocates, lawyers and experts associated with MotorEagles. This page also features our signature membership program – the MotorEagles Guardian Card – a no-cost benefits program offering theft recovery assistance, a hit-and-run driver reward initiative and 24/7/365 availability of Elk & Elk, among other perks.
