Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Maryland’s roads—especially in congested areas like Wheaton, where one reckless driver can cause permanent, even fatal, injuries in the blink of an eye. Unlike passenger vehicles, motorcycles offer no barrier between rider and impact. If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident, a skilled Wheaton motorcycle crash attorney at Malloy Law Offices is here to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle crashes often result in much more severe outcomes than standard vehicle accidents. Riders have minimal protection against the road, other vehicles, or roadside hazards. Even a minor collision can lead to long-term consequences. Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Wheaton include:
Driver Inattention – Motorists frequently fail to see motorcycles when changing lanes or making turns.
Left-Turn Collisions – One of the most common and deadly crash types for motorcyclists.
Unsafe Lane Changes – Drivers who don’t check their blind spots can sideswipe a rider.
Speeding and Aggressive Driving – Excessive speed increases crash severity and reduces reaction time.
Dooring Accidents – Parked cars suddenly opening doors into the path of a rider.
Road Hazards – Potholes, debris, loose gravel, and poorly marked construction zones pose major risks to motorcycles.
Impaired Driving – Drug or alcohol use by other drivers is particularly dangerous for vulnerable road users.
We understand how to investigate these cases and demonstrate the full extent of the negligence that caused your crash.
The injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are frequently catastrophic. Even with proper gear and a helmet, riders can suffer:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Including concussions, skull fractures, or lasting cognitive impairment
Spinal Cord Injuries – Resulting in paralysis, nerve damage, or chronic pain
Amputations – Often caused by crush injuries or high-speed trauma
Multiple Broken Bones – Arms, legs, ribs, and hips are especially vulnerable
Severe Road Rash – Deep abrasions that may require skin grafts or cause permanent scarring
Internal Injuries – Organ damage and internal bleeding may not be immediately visible but can be life-threatening
Fatal Injuries – Motorcycle crashes are tragically overrepresented in roadway fatalities
We work with medical experts to build a case that reflects the true, long-term impact of your injuries—physically, emotionally, and financially.
Motorcycle crash claims often involve more than just the driver who hit you. Our legal team investigates all possible sources of liability, which may include:
Negligent Motorists – Distracted, speeding, or reckless drivers are a leading cause of motorcycle injuries
Commercial Vehicle Operators – Including rideshare, delivery, and truck drivers
Government Entities – If poor road conditions, missing signage, or faulty traffic signals played a role
Vehicle or Parts Manufacturers – If brake failure, defective tires, or other components contributed to the crash
Bars or Restaurants – In dram shop cases involving over-served intoxicated drivers
At Malloy Law Offices, we leave no angle unexplored when building your case.
