blame.

Motorcycle laws in Maine
Motorcycle laws vary from state to state. Maine requires motorcycle riders 17 and younger to wear helmets, which may reduce the risk of serious injuries or death. Motorcycle riders, like operators of automobiles, are prohibited from driving under the influence of alcohol.
Drivers and passengers in cars have safety features in place such as airbags and seatbelts to protect them. Bikers typically have nothing but their clothing and a helmet between them and the pavement. They're much more likely than people riding in cars to get hurt. And motorcycle injuries can be catastrophic, ranging from back injuries to paralysis or traumatic brain injuries.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Maine
Common motorcycle accident causes include the following:
- Car or truck moves into motorcyclist's right of way.
- A driver is distracted in some form or another (sending text messages or driving under the influence of alcohol, for example).
- Reckless driving or speeding by another motorist.
- Road defects, such as bumps, potholes, gashes, loose gravel or debris.
- Motorcycle defects such as malfunctioning brakes or tires.
Motorcycle riders are some of the most vulnerable people on the road, and when motorists don't drive safely around them, people get hurt It's important to retain a qualified attorney who can protect your rights.

"My experience with Joe couldn't have been better. I was in a bad motorcycle accident that left me injured and unable to work for 2 weeks. I tried my hand at going at it alone but could tell quickly that I was in way over my head. The other drivers insurance company was very difficult to work with. That's when I decided to seek professional help and called Joe! Smartest move I ever made. I went from being completely overwhelmed trying to juggle work, doctors visits, and keeping track of all my expenses to going back to normal. I was able to continue my day to day life while Joe and Michelle handled everything. Not only that but they had the case settled MUCH earlier than I predicted and I was completely satisfied with the outcome. I wish I had called sooner!"
