Kentucky State Police data shows motorcycles make up less than one percent of vehicles involved in the state’s collisions, yet they account for as much as seven percent of vehicles involved in fatal crashes, a gap that shows how much more damage a motorcycle wreck tends to cause. Cessna & George Law Firm represents riders in London, Kentucky and the surrounding communities who have been hurt in these disproportionately severe crashes.
The firm’s attorneys, including Conrad Cessna, Tyler D. George, Chase F. McWhorter, and Alli Harris, work through the range of scenarios that cause motorcycle collisions: left-turn crashes where a driver turns into a rider’s path, lane-change wrecks caused by a driver failing to check a blind spot, rear-end impacts, and crashes caused by potholes or other road defects. Who can be held liable depends heavily on which of these scenarios caused the wreck, and the firm evaluates each case individually to identify the responsible party, whether that is another driver or a government agency responsible for road maintenance.
Cessna & George also points to the added physical risk motorcyclists face compared to occupants of a car, citing Insurance Information Institute estimates that a motorcyclist is roughly 30 percent more likely to die in a crash than someone in a vehicle, even though defensive riding and helmet use can reduce that risk. The firm serves London, Barbourville, Corbin, Manchester, Somerset, and other communities across Bell, Clay, Jackson, Knox, Laurel, Pulaski, and Whitley counties. Riders can call 606-770-5400 or visit the firm’s office at 506 S Main St in London for a free consultation.
