Durham Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

It’s a simple fact that motorcyclists are vulnerable on the roads. A motorcycle wreck can result in severe and devastating injuries due to lack of crash protection. In 2019, Durham County’s five-year average for fatal motorcycle wrecks was five per year – this accounts for nearly 18% of the county’s total fatal crashes. In an effort to reduce motorcycle fatalities, the Durham County Sheriff’s Office has joined forces with BikeSafe NC, a partnership formed by the N.C. State Highway Patrol and the Governor’s Highway Safety Program.

When the weather turns warmer in May, the entire state sees an increased number of motorcycle accidents as more riders hit the roads. So be careful cruising around Durham – especially from May through October.

What Is “Looked But Failed to See” and How Does It Affect Fault in Motorcycle Accidents?

“Looked But Failed to See” (LBFS) is a phrase police often used to describe cause on many motorcycle accident reports. Due to the smaller size of motorcycles, other drivers often claim they looked but did not see a motorcycle approaching from the side or behind. While LBFS may be commonly cited, it does not mean that the driver’s negligence wasn’t the true cause of the wreck. If a driver’s negligence has left you injured, consult with a Durham motorcycle accident lawyer.

How Much Does a Durham Motorcycle Accident Attorney Cost?

After enduring something as stressful as a motorcycle accident, you should not have to worry about the cost of a lawyer. At the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, we work with our clients on a contingency fee basis which means that they do not owe us an attorney’s fee unless we get them compensation.²  We focus on trying to get as much for our clients as possible, as quickly as possible, and do not bill our clients by the hour. This takes the worry of mounting legal fees off your plate as we work to try to get you compensation for your damages and losses.

Where Do Most Motorcycle Accidents Occur in Durham?

The top 5 most dangerous intersections in the Bull City from 2014-2018 all involved NC interstate highways:

1. I-40/Fayetteville Road near the Streets of Southpoint Mall
2. I-40/NC 55
3. I-85/Guess Road
4. I-40/US 15-501

While these crash-prone intersections are dangerous for all drivers, motorcyclists are undeniably more vulnerable when involved in a crash.
