According to statistics, motorcyclists are more than 30 times more likely to die in motor vehicle accidents compared to people traveling inside cars and trucks. The fact that riders are completely exposed during collisions means they are more likely to suffer severe consequences in crashes. Not only do motorcyclists lose their lives at an alarming rate, but we see thousands of riders harmed in collisions each year in our state.

Motorcyclists often suffer serious injuries as a result of collisions. Most riders have very little more than helmets to protect them. As a result, they often suffer injuries that require immediate and long-term medical care. Not only are injuries extremely painful for victims, but they are extremely costly to treat. Insurance companies will fight with all that they have to avoid paying victims the compensation that they need and deserve.

What to Do If You Are Harmed in a Motorcycle Accident

If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, there are various things you can do to ensure your health and wellbeing are protected. Following a Mississippi motorcycle accident, some of the steps you should take include:

Report the accident to law enforcement while at the scene. You will want an officer to issue a police report surrounding your accident. This is a report that states what took place at the time of the crash, all involved parties, and other important information. These reports are extremely beneficial when it comes to seeking compensation following your crash.

Gather information from the crash site. Obtain the names, contact information, and insurance information of every party involved. Obtain the names and contact information of any person who witnessed the accident take place. Their testimony can be valuable when it comes to proving what took place. You will want to take pictures and record videos of the scene of the accident if possible. Take pictures of the road conditions, the vehicles involved, and other critical details surrounding the accident. These photos will play a critical role in proving your case. If your injuries prevent you from physically taking photos or surveilling the scene, ask someone at the crash site to do so for you.

Seek medical attention for your injuries. Even if you do not feel like you suffered any injuries, it is never a good idea to try to tough it out. You will want to undergo a thorough medical examination to determine what injuries you suffered and to what extent. There are instances where people suffer injuries that they do not feel or see. These can be incredibly life-threatening and may need emergency attention.

Finally, reach out to a Starkville motorcycle accident lawyer right away. A skilled and knowledgeable law firm, like Mama Justice, can take over when it comes to legal work. Our law firm will help you pursue legal action against the negligent driver who caused you harm.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

In Mississippi, we see thousands of people harmed in motorcycle accidents every year. Like car accidents, crashes involving motorcycles can take place for a variety of reasons. The majority of Mississippi motorcycle accidents take place due to the negligence of drivers.

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in the Starkville area include:

Drivers who switch lanes without checking their blind spots.
Drivers who turn at intersections without signaling.
Drivers who misjudge the distance they have between their vehicles and motorcycles sharing the road.
Passing motorcycles at a slow speed.
Traveling at too high of a speed.
Inclement road conditions can limit visibility.
Aggressive driving behaviors.
Running red lights and/or passing stop signs at intersections.
Failing to yield the right of way to motorcyclists.
Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Driving during the evening hours.
Driving while distracted.
Driving while drowsy or falling asleep behind the wheel.
Debris in the roadway.

Although some people view motorcyclists as irresponsible drivers, the majority of accidents involving motorcyclists are caused by other drivers sharing the road. Many motorcyclists are extremely cautious and responsible while traveling. However, riders do not have the ability to control the actions of others sharing the road.

Types of Motorcycle Accidents we See in Starkville, Mississippi

Motorcycle accidents can take various forms. Here in Starkville, some of the most common types of motorcycle accidents that we see include:

Head-On Collisions

These accidents occur when two vehicles collide in a front-end to front-end manner. Motorcycles that collided head-on with other vehicles are likely to sustain severe damage. Riders are often ejected from their vehicles and risk suffering severe injuries.

Rear-End Collisions

This type of motorcycle accident occurs when the front-end of one vehicle collides with the rear-end of the second vehicle. Rear-end crashes involving motorcyclists often take place when drivers follow too closely. Striking the area of a motorcycle can result in the rider being ejected and severely harmed.

Broadside Accidents

Broadside accidents, also known as T-bone collisions, take place quite often at intersections throughout the Starkville area. This type of motorcycle accident is often caused by drivers running red lights or passing through stop signs at intersections.

Left Turn Accidents

There are many cases where motorcyclists are harmed by drivers who make left turns at intersections without checking for motorcycles and other vehicles. When drivers pull in front of riders, they are forced to take evasive actions to avoid being harmed in crashes. However, there are instances where riders simply cannot act quickly enough to avoid being harmed in an accident.

Consequences of a Motorcycle Accident

People who are involved in car accidents with motorcycles often suffer an array of life-changing consequences.

Neck and soft tissue injuries
Cuts and abrasions
Back injuries
Broken bones
Head injuries
Internal organ damages

About Our Firm

Hello friends and family, I am Missy Wigginton, also known as Mama Justice. When meeting me, some people ask me how I got my name. The answer: I have 2 sons. When they were little, we always had a yard full of kids. All my boys’ friends called me Mama Missy because I made sure they were all fed and had plenty of cool drinks on those hot, southern, summer days. Being a mama is one of the most rewarding and best jobs that God has ever blessed me with.

I am also thankful that God put me in a position where He can use me to help others in very difficult times. I, too, have been in difficult times, the worst of which being when my 25-year-old son left this earth for his heavenly home. Through the trials and tribulations of my loss, God remained faithful. Losing my son taught me that all things that happen in life can be used for good. My job allows me to be Mama Missy not only to my beloved children and grandchildren but to everyone who needs justice. Hence the name, Mama Justice. Although I am familiar with many areas of law, I focus my practice on personal injury cases. I represent injured people in all types of wrecks, accidents and work-related issues. For many folks, a car crash or work-related accident has the potential to turn their lives upside down, leaving them unsure of which direction to turn. When this happens to you, my goal is to help you through your most difficult times and make sure that you are properly represented when dealing with insurance companies. I will take on the headache of dealing with insurance companies so you can focus on getting better. I will personally work your case and ensure that every client stays informed and is treated as a friend and family member here at Mama Justice. Our business model is just that—to treat all clients like family! If you have had a wreck or been in an accident, then you have come to the right place—we are here to help you.
