Beachwood, Ohio personal injury attorney Jeffrey A. Leikin talks about who’s at fault in most motorcycle accidents. Surprisingly, statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are caused by the motorcyclist. The lawyer is a member of AIM (Attorneys for Injured Motorcyclists), a group comprised of attorneys who are also bikers and actively contribute to the motorcycle community. Recently, they attended the National Convention in Kansas City, where one of the central themes discussed was the profiling of motorcyclists by police.

During the convention, the lawyer and over 300 other bikers engaged in discussions about the best strategies to reach legislators and advocate for changes to state laws regarding this issue, with the goal of improving the profiling that occurs on the streets and highways.

Although the lawyer does not ride, they have been representing motorcyclists since 1985, successfully achieving just and fair results for clients who have suffered injuries. When a motorcyclist is injured and it is not their fault, it is often due to a driver failing to see them, resulting in catastrophic injuries. Unlike car occupants, motorcyclists lack the protection of seat belts or airbags. When a car fails to yield or rear-ends a motorcycle, the injuries sustained can be severe. Therefore, it is essential to have an experienced lawyer who has handled these types of injury cases and can maximize the verdict on behalf of the injured party.
