Drunk Driving and Motorcycle Accidents: By the Numbers

The consequences of drunk driving are staggering, particularly for motorcyclists. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 28% of all traffic fatalities in the U.S. involve alcohol-impaired drivers. Motorcyclists, with limited protection, are especially vulnerable to these crashes, often suffering severe or fatal injuries.

Breit Biniazan has seen the devastating impact of these accidents firsthand. In one notable case, we recovered $1.2 million for a motorcycle accident victim who was struck by a drunk driver, showcasing our ability to secure meaningful compensation for our clients.

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accidents

Injuries sustained in drunk driving motorcycle accidents are often severe and life-altering. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and multiple fractures are common, often requiring long-term medical care and rehabilitation. Many victims also suffer from severe road rash or lacerations, and in some cases, permanent disabilities or fatalities occur.

These injuries not only result in substantial medical expenses but also affect victims’ quality of life, leaving lasting physical and emotional scars.

Legal Rights for Victims of Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accidents

Victims of drunk driving motorcycle accidents have the right to pursue compensation for their losses. This includes filing claims against the drunk driver’s insurance to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and more. In cases involving extreme negligence, courts may also award punitive damages to penalize the driver and deter similar behavior.

Some states also allow victims to hold establishments or individuals accountable under dram shop or social host liability laws if they knowingly provided alcohol to the drunk driver. Breit Biniazan’s attorneys will evaluate all potential avenues for compensation to ensure that every responsible party is held accountable.

Types of Compensation Available

Victims can seek various forms of compensation depending on the circumstances of their case. 

Economic damages cover measurable costs such as medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, and property damage. Non-economic damages address pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Punitive damages may also be pursued in cases of gross negligence, such as driving with a significantly high blood alcohol level or causing intentional harm. 

Breit Biniazan works diligently to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation for all their losses.

Challenges in Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accident Cases

These cases often come with unique challenges. Proving the driver’s intoxication at the time of the accident requires gathering evidence such as police reports, witness testimony, and results from blood alcohol tests. Additionally, insurance companies may resist paying fair compensation, using tactics to minimize their liability.

Breit Biniazan is equipped to handle these obstacles, ensuring that critical evidence is preserved and aggressively negotiating with insurers on your behalf. If necessary, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to court to fight for the justice you deserve.
