Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
When a motorcyclist is injured in a crash, insurers often assume the rider was at fault. That assumption is rarely accurate — and it costs riders who don’t push back.
High Desert Law’s motorcycle accident lawyers have guided riders across Oregon through serious claims with a clear-eyed view of how bias works and how to overcome it. We know which evidence matters and how to use it.
Motorcycle Wreck Attorneys
For Oregon motorcyclists, the law creates unique challenges. First, your insurance is not required to provide no-fault PIP coverage, which creates immediate financial complexity in getting medical bills paid. Second, because lane splitting is illegal (ORS 814.240), insurers often use it as a false excuse to assign blame.
Our motorcycle wreck attorneys understand this landscape intimately. We anticipate and fight the unfair bias that riders face while expertly navigating the insurance gaps. This specialized knowledge is critical to protecting your rights and empowering your recovery.
Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit
Most motorcycle injury claims resolve through negotiation. When they don’t — when an insurer undervalues the claim or contests liability in bad faith — we’re prepared to take the next step.
Our familiarity with how these cases develop gives us a clearer picture earlier of when negotiation is productive and when it isn’t.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs
What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?
Seek medical care immediately. Document the scene if you can — photos of vehicle positions, road conditions, and any visible damage. Get insurance and witness information. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurer before speaking with an attorney.
Who pays my medical bills after a motorcycle accident in Oregon?
Unlike car accidents, PIP coverage is not required for motorcycles in Oregon. If you do not have PIP, that means your health insurance is typically responsible for immediate medical costs while your claim develops. We help you understand all available coverage and manage the process so the financial pressure doesn’t fall on you alone.
What types of damages can I recover after a motorcycle accident?
Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost income and earning capacity, property damage to your motorcycle and gear, and non-economic damages including pain, disability, and loss of enjoyment. Severe injuries may include long-term care costs.
What if the driver who hit me claims I was at fault?
That’s common in motorcycle cases. What matters is what the evidence shows — not what the other driver says. Crash reconstruction, traffic violations, and physical evidence at the scene determine fault. We build the case around what actually happened.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Oregon?
Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury (ORS 12.110). Don’t wait; evidence fades and deadlines don’t move.
