Richmond Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Fighting for Riders

Protecting Injured Motorcyclists in Richmond

Motorcyclists face unique risks on the road and, unfairly, often face bias in the courtroom. Blank & Marcus knows how to overcome juror assumptions and focus on facts. We fight for riders injured on roads like Broad Street, Hull Street, or I-95, making sure their rights are respected.

Most motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers, including:


  • Cars making left turns across a bike’s path.
  • Vehicles merging into a lane without checking blind spots.
  • Distracted or speeding drivers cutting off riders.
  • Road hazards like gravel, debris, or potholes.

Virginia law requires motorcyclists to wear helmets, but that doesn’t mean a case is lost if the rider wasn’t wearing one. Even with strict contributory negligence rules, Blank & Marcus works to prove that the other driver’s actions—not the rider’s—caused the crash.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

When a rider goes down, the injuries can be catastrophic: road rash, fractures, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or amputations. These often require long-term care and significant financial recovery, which our firm aggressively pursues.

How We Help Riders

We investigate crashes with accident reconstruction experts, review surveillance or dashcam footage, and handle insurance companies who try to unfairly blame the rider. A quick reminder: never give a statement to the at-fault driver’s insurer—let your lawyer speak for you.
