SERIOUSLY INJURED IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT – LAWYERS MN

The police reported yesterday that a motorcycle rider is in critical condition after being hit by a car. The motorcycle was hit on West 32nd Street and Excelsior Boulevard when he was hit. Afterwards, Excelsior Boulevard was closed at France Avenue for several hours, according to authorities. Fortunately, the driver of the car stayed on scene and cooperated, Minneapolis Police said. This is the kind of serious motorcycle accident case our lawyers handle frequently.

We are pleased that the driver at least stayed after the accident. Unfortunately, we have had many cases where a car hits a motorcycle and then the car leaves the scene to avoid responsibility. Sadly, this happens even in cases where the motorcycle rider is seriously injured.

Minnesota is a great place to ride a motorcycle (especially in the Summer and Fall.) Motorcycle training courses are offered and can be helpful. However, most cases of a vehicle versus bike accident happen because the driver of the car was not paying attention or was briefly distracted. As summer approaches, it is crucial for car and truck drivers to watch out for motorcycles, especially on the highways.
