North Haven Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle Accidents in Connecticut
Although motorcycle accidents represent a relatively small percentage of the overall number of motor vehicle accidents in the United States, they account for a disproportionately high rate of serious injuries and traffic-related fatalities each year. This is because motorcyclists have very few protections in the event of a crash compared to occupants of other types of vehicles. Even if they wear approved helmets and other safety gear, motorcyclists are simply no match for large, multi-ton vehicles. As a result, they tend to sustain catastrophic or fatal injuries when they are involved in collisions with passenger cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and large commercial vehicles.
If you suffered serious injuries, or if you tragically lost your loved one due to a motorcycle accident, our team at Carter Mario Law Firm can help. We understand the immense devastation these accidents cause in the lives of victims and their families. Our North Haven motorcycle accident attorneys are committed to holding negligent motorists accountable and seeking justice on behalf of victims who have had their lives permanently altered due to the careless, reckless, or wrongful conduct of others.
We offer free, no-obligation consultations and contingency fees, meaning you do not owe any out-of-pocket costs when you hire our firm. Instead, our attorneys only collect fees if they successfully recover compensation for you. Our office is fully staffed and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and walk-ins are always welcome.
If you’re living in North Haven and have been involved in a car accident, a truck accident, or must file a workers’ compensation lawsuit, the personal injury lawyers at Carter Mario Law Firm can help.

How Do Most Motorcycle Accidents Happen?
There is a common misconception that most motorcycle accidents happen because motorcyclists themselves are dangerous, risk-taking drivers. At Carter Mario Law Firm, we know that this is not true. In fact, most motorcycle accidents are the result of another driver’s careless or reckless conduct. Many drivers fail to give motorcyclists the space, safety, and respect they deserve—and the consequences can be catastrophic.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Reckless or aggressive driving
- Tailgating
- Distracted driving, including texting while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to check for motorcyclists in blind spots
- Making dangerous turns
- Passing other vehicles unsafely or unlawfully
- Disobeying traffic control devices, such as stop signs and traffic signals
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Merging too closely in front of a motorcyclist (AKA “cutting off”)
- Opening car doors into motorcyclists
- Fatigued driving
- Violating traffic laws and rules of the road
In some cases, motorcycle accidents result not from the negligence of another driver but due to unsafe conditions, such as inclement weather or poorly maintained roads. Our attorneys can investigate your claim to determine if a third party’s negligence or misconduct contributed to or caused your accident. If so, we may be able to pursue a claim or lawsuit against the liable third party.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Sadly, motorcyclists tend to sustain severe injuries when they are involved in accidents with other vehicles. Often, these injuries have catastrophic effects, leaving victims with significant impairments or even permanent disabilities.
Some of the most common injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents include:
- Back injuries
- Bone fractures
- Head and neck injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Loss of limb
- Organ damage
- Road rash
- Soft tissue injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Whiplash
Motorcycle accident victims typically require extensive medical care, which can be both lengthy and expensive. In fact, the severe nature of these types of collisions often means that motorcycle accident claims tend to be relatively high in value. As a result, insurance companies are heavily invested in disputing or denying these claims. It is important that you work with an experienced personal injury attorney, like those at Carter Mario Law Firm, who can protect your rights and advocate for the full compensation you are owed.
Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim
Motorcycle accident claims are often more complex than standard car accident cases. This is due to a variety of factors, including the severity of victims’ injuries and damages, the high cost of necessary medical care, the difficulties associated with proving fault, and more.
At Carter Mario Law Firm, we recognize the unique challenges injured motorcyclists face. We know how to help you navigate the legal system and fight for maximum compensation for your damages. Our North Haven motorcycle accident lawyers have extensive experience going up against major insurance carriers and have successfully secured over $1 billion in settlements and verdicts for our clients.

We know how to effectively present the facts of your case and fight back against common prejudices against motorcyclists, both at the negotiation table and in the courtroom. Throughout the entire process, our team will be there to answer your questions and provide the personalized counsel you need to make empowered decisions regarding your recovery.
