They want to help their clients, but they need their help too. If you’re involved in an accident, assuming you’re not too injured to do so, obtaining some important information will be a big help. What that information is depends on the type of case.If you’ve been injured in a vehicle accident it is very important to acquire,
This will help the accident attorneys at Osborne and Associates jump-start their investigation. If you are unable to get the information, they can obtain this information and records for you.
One of the types of cases Osborne and Associates help their clients with is motorcycle accidents. They often result in more severe injuries for some very basic reasons. The person on the motorcycle doesn't have the same protection afforded by a car. Not having all that steel, plastic and glass around you is what attracts people to motorcycling. The downside is if there’s an accident there is nothing between you, the other vehicles and the road except a helmet and any protective clothing you’re wearing.
If there is an intersectional collision it is common to see someone struck from the side and have a significant injury to their lower extremity or leg. If the collision is from behind the rider will usually be ejected from the motorcycle.
Hopefully a helmet will lessen any head injuries but without the protection of a vehicle and a seat belt the injuries will probably be significant. The rider is coming into contact with a vehicle that probably weighs between three and five thousand pounds (a commercial truck would be far heavier) or they're going to strike the roadway, side of the road, tree or telephone pole.
