Motorcycle Accidents in Asheville NC

Written by Lakota Denton on April 27, 2019. Posted in Asheville Motorcycle Accidents, Asheville Personal Injury

Asheville Motorcycle Accident Attorneys 

Among all road accidents, motorcycle accidents are the most precarious. This is because the rider is not protected by the steel frame or airbags, and neither is he restrained by a seat belt.

If you have been involved in a NC Motorcycle accident, you might have a lot of questions about what your rights and options are.

Questions like “How many fatal motorcycle accidents occur in the North Carolina each year”, “What are the leading causes of motorcycle accidents?” and “What should I do after being involved in a motorcycle accident?”.

  • I was a passenger in a car that was involved in an accident. The EMS had to transport me to the hospital where I went through many exams and tests. I had Mr. Denton handle my case, and he did a superb job on handling all that was involved in settling the case. I would never have been able to do all that was required had I not sought out Mr. Denton's help. He knew how to handle it all proficiently, and he settled the case to my satisfaction. You can trust this attorney to do the work for you, and you will be quite satisfied with the results.

Leading Causes of Asheville NC Motorcycle Accidents

A number of motorcycle accidents are caused by the rider’s careless or negligent driving. However, the larger percentage are as a result of other road users.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents Include:

  • Left turns

Left-hand turn accidents can happen when a car driver fails to see the motorcycle’s signal to turn left. A car can also ram into a motorcycle when making a left turn if the latter was in the driver’s blind spot.

  • Reckless or distracted driving

Reckless driving including over speeding leading cause in all auto accidents. Reckless driving reduces the rider’s ability to react to the actions of other road users in order to prevent an accident. In most cases, the severity of the accident depends on how fast you were driving.  

  • Impaired driving

It is not uncommon for motorcycle riders to ride under the influence of illegal drugs, alcohol, prescription drugs, and so on. These not only affect the rider’s ability to maneuver the motorcycle but also impair their ability to think clearly.   

  • Dangerous road conditions

These could include such things as loose gravel, uneven or slippery surfaces, potholes, and debris on the road have also been known to cause severe motorcycle accidents. A motorcycle is less stable and, therefore, more susceptible to accidents due to hazardous road conditions compared to other vehicles.

Accidents could also happen if you drove a faulty motorcycle or if while riding, a person suddenly opens the door of their parked car.

What to do After a Motorcycle Accident?

Knowing exactly what to do after a motorcycle accident will help you quickly handle the situation and regain control of your life.

  1. Seek medical attention – you should do this even if you are experiencing little or no pain.

  2. Take photos of the accident scene – if you are able to and if the scene is safe, take several photos from various angles. After this, make sure you move the motorbike off the road as leaving it there makes it dangerous for other road users.

  3. Collect the necessary documents – these could include your insurance policy as well as that of any other party involved. If the police were called to the scene, obtain the police report.

  4. Call your insurer – the insurer might ask about the extent of your injuries or the bike’s damage. Insist that you will submit such after visiting a physician or taking the motorcycle to a professional mechanic.

  5. Seek the services of personal injury lawyer – an attorney will help you get compensated if the other party was at fault.  Most all personal injury lawyers will offer a free consultation. It makes sense to at least to a lawyer to see what your options are after the accident.

    On a cold and rainy night in January 2019, I was hit by a vehicle while walking through downtown Asheville, North Carolina. I spent the night in the hospital and needed legal help because they were alleging I was responsible for the accident even though I was the pedestrian. Lakota Denton and his staff took the case and through thorough research and investigative work, we were able to secure witnesses and a body of evidence against the driver. One year later, they conceded and we won. I highly recommend the excellent work of attorney Lakota Denton and the incredible staff who guided me through every step of the process for a positive outcome.

  • I highly recommend Lakota Denton! He has been such a huge help, he kept me posted about my case, offered amazing advice while listening to my concerns and was beyond effective, especially considering I hired him shortly before the Covid 19 Pandemic started. I could not have made a better choice. I'm so relieved we were able to reach a settlement in an accident where the driver crossed the center line & hit me, sending me into oncoming traffic, finally coming to a stop only inches from the parkway bridge. She had no insurance, and no license. And I was certainly not the only one she'd done this to, not only did she hit the car behind me as well, she'd been in trouble numerous times for the same reason. I originally reached out to a different lawyer but was told that my case was not worth the time. I was very disappointed, I actually didn't look for another lawyer for over 2 years, until the statute of limitations was expiring. Lakota assured me that we had time, and that he could definitely help me. If you need an attorney in Asheville, or WNC there's no better choice.

    Lakota Denton is a champion for the people. He worked with me on a car accident case and won the maximum settlement. He has a strong reputation as an experienced trial lawyer so insurance companies know he doesn't mess around. Lakota is aware of loop holes and special amendments within the law to provide the best service possible and leaves no stone unturned. Every question I had (no matter how redundant or silly) he was glad to explain to me. Apart from his technical knowledge, he is very kind and warmhearted. Stepping into his office is like being invited into his home. I would 110% recommend him, and after discussing the settlement, I wanted to run down the street and tell every single person I saw about him.

    Absolutely the best attorney in the area, long story short I was involved in a motorcycle accident where the individual at fault had very little insurance and my property damage and personal injury costs were substantial. Lakota was extremely professional and genuinely helped in every way he could. Very good at communication, he kept me informed the entire time going on 7 months. Without him this mess could have been a catastrophe. I rate him 5 stars because that's the highest I could rate, he and his staff deserve an even better rating than that. I highly recommend him!

I was referred to Lakota after being involved in a multiple vehicle car accident. Lakota and Jenny were both great to work with, they both were very caring and offered the best advice for my situation. Before speaking with them I was confused about the whole process and what was supposed to happen, Lakota went over each step of the process with me and made sure all of my questions were answered and I understood before I left. I left their office much more confident than I was when I walked in. They are wonderful to work with and I will not hesitate to call them in the future if needed.

In an accident? Need Help? This is your turn-key, set-it-and-forget-it solution! Lakota and Jenny are two of the best friends you will meet in Asheville! If anything can go sideways, be atypical or oddball... it seems like it will happen to me. True to form, several legal obstacles cropped up... even though I was not at fault in the accident. Jenny takes ownership of your problems. Like a dog with a bone, they will relentlessly work to resolve issues in your favor. Lakota and Jenny make you feel like family, as if you are their primary concern. PS: Lakota: Jenny deserves a raise!

I was a passenger in a car that was involved in an accident. The EMS had to transport me to the hospital where I went through many exams and tests. I had Mr. Denton handle my case, and he did a superb job on handling all that was involved in settling the case. I would never have been able to do all that was required had I not sought out Mr. Denton's help. He knew how to handle it all proficiently, and he settled the case to my satisfaction. You can trust this attorney to do the work for you, and you will be quite satisfied with the results. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking all the stress/frustration off my shoulders and doing such a great job!!

Just want to say that Lakota Denton and his staff are incredible. I left his office feeling like I was just adopted into his family. Very informative and easy to understand, I have a total understanding of how he handles cases from the short talk I had with him. I would recommend Lakota and his staff to anyone injured in an accident. If I could give 20 stars it would not be enough. Very happy with this Lawyer.

Absolutely the best attorney in the area, long story short I was involved in a motorcycle accident where the individual at fault had very little insurance and my property damage and personal injury costs were substantial. Lakota was extremely professional and genuinely helped in every way he could. Very good at communication, he kept me informed the entire time going on 7 months. Without him this mess could have been a catastrophe. I rate him 5 stars because that's the highest I could rate, he and his staff deserve an even better rating than that. I highly recommend him!

Lakota Denton is a champion for the people. He worked with me on a car accident case and won the maximum settlement. He has a strong reputation as an experienced trial lawyer so insurance companies know he doesn't mess around. Lakota is aware of loop holes and special amendments within the law to provide the best service possible and leaves no stone unturned. Every question I had (no matter how redundant or silly) he was glad to explain to me. Apart from his technical knowledge, he is very kind and warmhearted. Stepping into his office is like being invited into his home. I would 110% recommend him, and after discussing the settlement, I wanted to run down the street and tell every single person I saw about him.

I highly recommend Lakota Denton! He has been such a huge help, he kept me posted about my case, offered amazing advice while listening to my concerns and was beyond effective, especially considering I hired him shortly before the Covid 19 Pandemic started. I could not have made a better choice. I'm so relieved we were able to reach a settlement in an accident where the driver crossed the center line & hit me, sending me into oncoming traffic, finally coming to a stop only inches from the parkway bridge. She had no insurance, and no license. And I was certainly not the only one she'd done this to, not only did she hit the car behind me as well, she'd been in trouble numerous times for the same reason. I originally reached out to a different lawyer but was told that my case was not worth the time. I was very disappointed, I actually didn't look for another lawyer for over 2 years, until the statute of limitations was expiring. Lakota assured me that we had time, and that he could definitely help me. If you need an attorney in Asheville, or WNC there's no better choice.

On a cold and rainy night in January 2019, I was hit by a vehicle while walking through downtown Asheville, North Carolina. I spent the night in the hospital and needed legal help because they were alleging I was responsible for the accident even though I was the pedestrian. Lakota Denton and his staff took the case and through thorough research and investigative work, we were able to secure witnesses and a body of evidence against the driver. One year later, they conceded and we won. I highly recommend the excellent work of attorney Lakota Denton and the incredible staff who guided me through every step of the process for a positive outcome.

I was represented by Lakota Denton for serious injuries and trauma that I sustained after being hit and nearly killed by an SUV while riding my bicycle home from work in Asheville, NC. Lakota and his team kept me well informed throughout the entire process, and were always available to discuss any questions or concerns that I had. I was especially grateful for their professionalism, experience, integrity and honor. Lakota was not only successful in settling my personal injury case beyond our expectations, I also felt supported and confident that my best interests were a top priority.  I was pleased with my experience and settlement and highly recommend Lakota Denton.

I'm leaving a 5-star review for Lakota Denton and his excellent team because of their utmost care and compassion. I came to them drowning in the turbid waters of despondent lawyers and sketchy doctors, and they put me on a plan to physical recovery, while they recovered my case. Lakota is a lawyer with keen awareness, dignity, and most importantly, heart. Thank you, Lakota.
