What Injuries Are Common After Motorcycle Accidents in Providence?
Common motorcycle accident injuries include fractures, traumatic brain injuries, road rash, and spinal cord or neck injuries. The severity depends on circumstances like the speed of the involved vehicles and how the accident occurred.
For example, the resulting collision after another vehicle suddenly turns left in front of a motorcycle could lead to severe head injuries. Meanwhile, a biker rapped under their bike or pinned under a car or truck after being struck from behind may have burns or crush injuries requiring amputation.
Because motorcyclists bear the brunt of the impact with another vehicle as well as the effects of hitting the road or another object, crashes sometimes cause catastrophic injuries that cause permanent disability and require lifelong care.
Some injuries from motorcycle accidents are so severe that they result in death. In these instances, family members can file a wrongful death claim to recover damages if someone else caused the crash.
How Can a Providence Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help?

- Determining fault, including whether multiple parties may be liable
- Gathering evidence to build the strongest claim possible
- Analyzing insurance policies to determine the available coverage
- Negotiating with insurance companies to reach fair settlements
- Litigating your case if the insurer fails to offer a full settlement
- Advocating for fair compensation and protecting your interests

What To Expect From the Providence Motorcycle Accident Process
Knowing what to do after a motorcycle accident protects your health and can strengthen an insurance claim or lawsuit.
Steps Immediately Following Your Providence Motorcycle Accident
Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Only try to collect evidence related to your crash if it is safe to do so. Take the following steps immediately after an accident:
- Call 911 and have the police come to the scene.
- Do not move your motorcycle until after the police arrive.
- Get immediate medical attention, even if you think you haven’t been seriously injured.
- Document the scene by taking close-up and distant photos and videos.
- Exchange insurance and contact information with the other parties involved.
- Get contact information from witnesses.
- Provide a statement to the police, but stick to the facts only. Do not speculate about what caused the crash.
- Consult a lawyer.
What Compensation Can You Seek After Your Motorcycle Accident?
The compensation you can recover in a motorcycle accident claim varies based on factors such as the severity of the incident and your injuries. You can pursue non-economic damages to compensate you for financial losses and non-economic damages to address your psychological harm.
Damages related to motorcycle crashes may include:
- Medical expenses, including immediate care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and any ongoing treatment
- Lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working
- Lost future earnings if your injuries result in diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, and other physical and psychological impacts of your accident
- Property damage, such as the cost of repairing or replacing your motorcycle, helmet, and other damaged property
- Long-term care for severe injuries
- Funeral expenses and other damages in a wrongful death motorcycle accident claim
You can still collect compensation if you were partly responsible for your crash. Under Rhode Island’s pure comparative negligence law, your share of liability reduces your damages proportionately. For example, if you have $100,000 in damages and are 30% to blame for your accident, you can recover $70,000.

He is a very knowledgeable attorney and a solid advocate.
My attorney assigned to me was R. Scott Wilson. He represented me in a manner that was beyond my expectations. Without him, I would have been lost. I could not be more pleased with the services of Rob Levine Law. Mr. Wilson was a dream come true for me. I wanted to express this experience even before the results came out after my trial. I could not be happier. I felt defended and supported. Thank you all so much for the amazing work you have provided for me. I hope Mr. Wilson continues to amaze all his clients.

I never would have gotten through this case without Andres F. and Rob Levine Law.
The entire process could have been stressful, but I was never ‘alone’—I had a partner on my side with Andres from Rob Levine Law. Andres never failed me. Constant, rapid communication and follow-up. If he gave an estimated timeline, he was always accurate. If I called in a panic, he stayed professional and helped walk me through the steps. It means EVERYTHING to have representation.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs
Our Providence motorcycle injury lawyers are always ready to answer questions about accident claims. These are answers to common questions we receive:
What Motorcycle Laws in Rhode Island Could Affect My Claim?
Under the Rhode Island motorcycle equipment law, riders under 21 must wear helmets, as do all riders for the first year of having a motorcycle license. All riders must wear eye protection. The defense may claim that failing to follow these laws contributed to your injuries, but our attorneys will fight back against that argument. The state also bans lane-splitting, so riding between lanes could lead to your liability in a crash.
How Do I Deal With Insurance Companies That Undervalue My Motorcycle or Try To Blame Me for the Accident?
If an insurance company offers less than you deserve or tries to shift blame to you, contact an experienced Providence motorcycle injury lawyer immediately. Our attorneys know how to prove the other party’s liability, properly value your damages, and fight allegations of shared blame.
How Do I Find an Attorney Who Understands the Unique Challenges Motorcyclists Face in Accidents, Especially When Cars Are Involved?
Ask a prospective Providence personal injury law firm about the types of motorcycle accident cases they have handled and the injuries their clients have had. Our successful record of securing compensation shows we understand how to handle these often-complex claims.
How Can I Ensure I Receive Fair Compensation for the Full Value of a Custom Motorcycle Damaged in the Accident?
To get fair compensation, you must prove your bike’s value before the crash. Gather all receipts or proofs of purchase for a custom-built bike or one with custom additions. Depending on the level of customization, you may need an expert to establish a fair value.
Can I Claim Compensation for the Emotional Distress and Frustration of Not Being Able To Work, Ride, or Live My Normal Lifestyle?
In a motorcycle accident lawsuit, you can seek pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages related to how the crash has affected your life. As with other injuries, you must have evidence for your claims, such as diagnoses from a mental health professional or medical proof that you cannot do the things you enjoyed before your accident.
