Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Winding mountain roads can mean serious motorcycle accidents. And as personal injury lawyers in Asheville, we see the consequences of reckless and careless driving.
The trial attorneys at Fisher Stark, P.A., know that Western North Carolina is a mecca for motorcycle riders. But, while beautiful, the winding mountain roads and narrow streets can often spell trouble. Consequently, even the most careful riders face greater dangers in the mountains, often due to no fault of their own.
Most motorcycle crashes are not the fault of the cyclists
Cyclist's injuries in Asheville are caused by the negligence of cars or other vehicles. And too often it’s the motorcyclist who pays the heavy price for someone else’s distracted or reckless driving. So, when the extent of motorcycle injuries lasts a lifetime, having experienced counsel can help fight for fair compensation.
