Motorcycle Accident 55%

Jason is well known across the country as the motorcycle lawyer. Passionate about riding, passionate about standing up for motorcycle riders everywhere. Motorcycle law is unique in that rules and laws that protect other motor vehicle users may not protect a biker. Special considerations should be taken when deciding on insurance, what to do when you crash your motorcycle, etc. I've handled 1000's of motorcycle accident cases and won millions for my injured motorcycle accident clients.

Motorcycle accident

My wife and were leisurely riding our motorcycle with my brother and sister in-law on their bike. An individual in a car crossed the centerline on a 2 lane country road, and put all four of us in the hospital. My wife got the worst of it. She was flown to the hospital and nearly died. She is now a qu...ad with an amputated leg. Our family contacted Jason and he took care of all our needs, and has been helping us for the past 12 plus years as needed. Jason is an attorney that I would confidently recommend to anyone. A great attorney, and a great person.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
