OUR SPECIAL EXPERTISE IN MOTORCYCLE CRASHES CAN HELP YOU

Due to the volume of motorcycle accident cases that Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys has successfully resolved over close to four decades, we’ve faced just about every possible scenario before.

We help every injured client get the maximum possible recovery—physically, emotionally & financially. We assist with your property damage, reducing medical bills and aggressively work up each case to the best of our ability. And if you don’t require a lawyer, you can still benefit from a conversation with a Russ Brown attorney. We can help walk you through the claims process, tell you what to expect and the tricks and pitfalls that lie ahead, so you aren’t easily taken advantage of.

Before you talk to the opposing driver’s insurance company—certainly before you accept any checks or offers to settle—it’s a good idea to speak to a lawyer who specializes in motorcycle accident law.

Common Case Issues

Improper analysis of a motorcycle accident can severely limit your award or unfairly negate your case. The experts at Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys know that “facts” and witness statements affecting your personal result may be incorrect. Our specialized knowledge and decades of experience give us a distinct advantage over other attorneys who claim to be motorcycle lawyers but only handle a few such cases a year. Here’s a real life example:

A police report blamed the accident on our client’s excessive speed, stating the bike was travelling at 50 mph when it went down. The officer’s calculations were based on a standard formula for determining speed relative to the length of a skid. His error was in using a formula intended for an automobile sliding on 4 rubber tires. But when a bike goes down, it’s metal against asphalt…and a 600 lb. motorcycle will slide much farther. Due to our expertise, the police report was revised to reflect 35 mph, the legal speed on that stretch of road. Our client was no longer assigned any fault, which substantially increased the value of his claim.

Client Testimonials

I was very happy that I hired Brown, Koro & Romag, LLP as my Motorcycle Attorneys. They treated me with respect and always stayed on top of my case. They took all the pressure off me by dealing directly with the insurance companies. Since they also ride, they know exactly what it feels like to be in our boots. I can't thank them enough, because without them fighting for me until the end I wouldn't have received half the settlement I actually received. They never gave up and did all they could to help me during this most difficult time. They were very professional and took care of everything for me. Thank you for all your help in dealing with my complex case.

Bam Testimonials

I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for this organization and its members. I signed up last year before I really started riding. Today, seven miles from home, my battery went dead. I was on my own, on a Sunday, a lone female biker. All my friends had already left on our annual trip to Vegas, and I had no one. BAM found someone with a trailer who dropped my bike off at my mechanic, and then dropped me at home! I know I will not hesitate to do what I can when BAM calls me!
