As a Seattle motorcycle accident attorney, I know that riding a motorcycle can be more hazardous than driving a car; aside from lacking the basic safety features of cars such as seat belts and air bags, taking evasive action on a motorcycle can sometimes cause the driver to wreck even while avoiding the original accident.  On Tuesday morning, Bradly Gilmore crashed his motorcycle on the West Seattle Bridge, while commuting to work in Bellevue, as reported by the Seattle Times.  In an attempt to avoid a collision with a car that was changing lanes, he broke heavily on his rear wheel, locked the wheel and was taken to Harborview Medical Center with head and facial injuries.  Mr. Gilmore died from the injuries Wednesday morning at Harborview, leaving behind a wife and four children.

Unfortunately, accidents like this one are not isolated incidents; over 4000 motorcyclists are killed annually across the country according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  Without the metal body and safety features of a car, a motorcyclist’s primary protection is his or her awareness of the situation, and ability to react to the unexpected.  Each of these incidents leaves behind an entire family with grief over the unexpected loss of a loved one, but also with medical bills and the loss of income from the person they lost.  The devastation that the family may experience will require a great deal of time to cope with, and in many cases the income from the deceased may be irreplaceable, leaving the family in dire financial straits.

No one can replace the void that appears in the life of a family when someone is lost suddenly and unexpectedly.  If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle wreck, you need someone to protect your financial health and legal interests while you focus on your family during this painful time.  Jason Epstein is a dynamic, compassionate Bellevue motorcycle accident attorney who can work to protect your rights while your family heals from its emotional wounds.  For more information, and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact Jason at Premier Law Group at (206)285-1743.
