Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Start Your Lawsuit Now To Avoid Missing Your Deadlines
Statute of limitations laws set strict deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed by. If you focus on recovery instead of your lawsuit, you may miss your deadline and forever lose the ability to receive compensation.
In Virginia, you have two years from the date of a motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your loved one passed in a crash, you have two years from the date they lost their life.
Maryland provides three years for a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death claim. D.C.'s statute is three years for personal injury and two years for wrongful death.

Motorcycle Crashes Happen Everywhere They Often Have Devastating Consequences
On roadways all over America, motorcyclists are 4 times more likely to be injured than other motorists. More disturbingly, motorcyclists were nearly 28 times more likely than motorists to die in a car crash. In 2022 in Virginia, motorcycle crashes accounted for just 1.7% of all traffic accidents but resulted in 11% of all traffic fatalities statewide.
Maryland suffers similarly grim statistics. In 2022, the state had 1,338 motorcycle crashes resulting in property damage, physical injury, or death – an average of nearly 4 every single day.
If you suffered a personal injury after a motorcycle crash, our Rockville injury lawyers can pursue damages against the driver and their insurance company.

It Is Very Important to Know
That MD, VA, and D.C. Use Contributory Negligence
The majority of American states award damages in personal injury lawsuits such as motorcycle accident cases using the rule of comparative negligence. This allows motorcycle accident victims to receive compensation even if they were partially at-fault for their crashes. Neither Maryland nor Virginia operates this way.
Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. all use the contributory negligence framework, mandating that if a plaintiff is in any way responsible for their crash they cannot receive any compensation whatsoever (though D.C. has an exception for cases involving pedestrians and bicycles). This fact makes choosing the right motorcycle accident lawyer especially important for victims in the DMV area, as the only way you will be compensated is if we can demonstrate that more likely that not you did not cause any part of your crash.

The adverse party clearly ran into me, or shall I say, "Crashed into me." Nonetheless, there were arguments, qualifications, and just downright mendacity, to which and of which the legal team mentioned above expertly and professionally resolved everything in my favor. I received my payment this week. I highly recommend Greenblatt & Veliev, LLC!

If you've been in a motorcycle accident, these steps will help you and your motorcycle accident attorney build a strong case for legal compensation.
Record Your Crash and Save the Evidence
If you took videos or photos of your motorcycle accident, we advise saving them on a device or cloud computing storage that you can access in case your phone breaks. You can also send evidence to our motorcycle accident attorneys for safekeeping.
Attend All Medical Appointments
Motorcyclists can sustain terrible damage as they have less protection than other motorists. It's important that you see a doctor and attend all recommended medical appointments. Your medical records after the motorcycle accident can be used to strengthen your claim for appropriate compensation.
Collect Contact Info
If you were able to gather any contact information from eyewitnesses, their accounts could be used for your claim. Contacting any business owners or workers who may have seen the motorcycle accident can also help your case.
Don't Talk to Insurance Companies
If you get a call from the other driver's insurance company after the car accident, they may use whatever information you give them against you. They may offer you a settlement far below what you deserve. Instead of accepting any offers or talking to anyone about the motorcycle accident, you should let an attorney speak on your behalf.

Did You Lose a Loved One? Talk to Our Attorneys About Wrongful Death Litigation
