Seeking Fair Compensation for Clients in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama
Mississippi offers motorcycle enthusiasts vast opportunities to explore the Deep South. However, a ride can quickly turn to heartache if a motorcycle wreck occurs. Riders are especially vulnerable to severe injuries because they lack the protections that other motorists enjoy, such as the metal frame found in cars or trucks. Motorcycles are also less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a wreck. Still, that never gives others an excuse to drive dangerously.

What Are the Leading Causes of Motorcycle Wrecks?
Common causes of Mississippi motorcycle wrecks include:
- Distracted driving – Distracted drivers can easily miss motorcycles in their blind spots when merging or passing. Similarly, an inattentive driver might rear-end a bike or run a stop sign, leading to a serious head-on or T-bone wreck.
- Speeding – Cars need more time to stop when traveling at high speeds. A speeding driver might not see or have time to avoid a motorcycle in these situations. Speed also increases the force of impact in a collision, increasing the risk of serious injuries.
- Tailgating – Because they are lighter-weight vehicles, motorcycles can slow and stop faster than other vehicles. Following too closely can lead to a rear-end wreck that tosses a rider from their bike.
- Impaired driving – Alcohol, drugs, and some prescription medications can compromise a driver’s ability to recognize their environment and handle their vehicle safely.
Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer from Mama Justice After a Crash
Anyone injured in a motor vehicle crash needs an attorney, and that goes double for injured motorcycle riders. Motorcyclists often sustain severe and catastrophic injuries after a wreck. In turn, they incur sky-high medical bills while missing out on much-needed wages while they recover. Unfortunately, this doesn’t matter much to the insurance adjuster handling their claims.
Insurance companies often blame motorcycle riders for crashes and are more likely to scrutinize these high-value claims. Motorcycle riders also face unfair biases that paint them as reckless and dangerous. When going up against those challenges, you want a tough-as-nails motorcycle accident attorney from Mama Justice to break down barriers that could leave you under-compensated.

We’re the country’s fastest-growing, female-owned law firm, with a track record that includes millions of dollars recovered for accident victims. You can count on us to pursue full and fair results that make a meaningful difference in your quality of life. That’s not just lip service.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle wrecks in Mississippi often lead to severe, potentially catastrophic injuries for riders and passengers, including:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Internal bleeding
- Vital organ damage
- Broken bones
- Road rash
- Back and neck injuries
- Amputation
- Burns
Finally, you can’t overlook the mental health effects of a motorcycle wreck. A collision is a frightening experience and can cause lasting emotional trauma, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These emotional injuries also impact the value of a personal injury claim.
Determining Liability After a Mississippi Motorcycle Wreck
Liability for a Mississippi motorcycle crash depends on who acted carelessly or dangerously. In many cases, it’s another driver who broke state traffic laws. In others, responsibility could fall on the manufacturer of a defective motorcycle part or a government agency responsible for road maintenance or design. A knowledgeable motorcycle wreck lawyer can identify every at-fault party while investigating your case.
