Oklahoma City Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Protecting Riders Across Oklahoma

Motorcyclists in Oklahoma City face dangers most drivers rarely consider — inattentive motorists, unsafe lane changes, and road hazards that barely affect a car but can be fatal on two wheels. When a crash happens, riders are left vulnerable not just physically, but also in the legal system, where insurers often treat motorcyclists unfairly.

At J. Alexander Law Firm, we fight back against that bias. 

Our founder, Marine Corps veteran Josh Alexander, leads a team dedicated to standing with injured riders and families when the stakes are highest. If you or your loved one has been hurt in a motorcycle wreck in OKC or the surrounding areas, we want to help.

Who Can Be Held Liable After a Motorcycle Accident?

The first step in any motorcycle accident claim is determining liability. In Oklahoma, you may have the right to pursue compensation if someone else’s negligence contributed to the crash. That can include:

• Negligent Drivers – Cars or trucks that fail to yield, cut off a motorcycle, follow too closely, or make unsafe left turns.
• Commercial Defendants – Trucking companies, delivery fleets, or rideshare operators whose drivers cause collisions.
• Government Entities – Dangerous road conditions, unmarked construction zones, or poor roadway maintenance. Special rules apply when pursuing claims against municipalities or the state.
• Manufacturers – Defective motorcycle parts, tires, or protective equipment that contribute to injury.

Proving liability often comes down to showing that someone violated a traffic law, ignored a safety rule, or failed to act with the care a reasonable person would. Our team gathers and analyzes crash reports, surveillance footage, black box data, phone records, and expert testimony to make fault clear and undeniable.

Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule. That means you can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault, though your award is reduced by your share of responsibility. Determining liability clearly and countering efforts to shift blame onto the rider is critical.

Understanding Bias Against Motorcyclists

Even when liability seems clear, insurers often argue that riders caused their own crashes. Adjusters lean on stereotypes that paint motorcyclists as reckless or risk-seeking.

We know how damaging this bias can be, especially in front of a jury. That’s why we focus on facts: a distracted driver turning left across a rider’s path, a motorist drifting into a lane without checking mirrors, or a trucking company that ignores safety rules. We present compelling evidence to show that the rider was the victim, not the cause, of the crash.

Common Disputes in Motorcycle Claims

Motorcycle accident cases often involve recurring disputes that must be addressed early:

• Liability Disputes – Drivers claiming they “didn’t see the motorcycle” or accusing the rider of speeding.
• Injury Disputes – Insurers minimizing serious injuries or blaming them on pre-existing conditions.
• Coverage Disputes – At-fault drivers may carry low policy limits, forcing riders to pursue recovery through their own UM/UIM coverage.

Anticipating these disputes allows us to gather and preserve the evidence needed to overcome them.

The Role of Evidence in Motorcycle Cases

Strong evidence is the antidote to bias and disputes. 

Our team investigates thoroughly, often relying on:

• Helmet cam or dash cam footage.
• Police crash reports and witness statements.
• Skid marks, vehicle damage, and roadway conditions.
• Medical documentation linking the crash directly to injuries.
• Expert accident reconstruction when fault is contested.

Because insurers move fast to protect themselves, we act quickly to preserve critical evidence before it disappears.

Compensation Available in Motorcycle Accident Cases

Motorcycle crashes often cause catastrophic injuries that change every aspect of life. 

Compensation must reflect both immediate costs and the long-term toll:

• Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation.
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity.
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
• Loss of independence or enjoyment of life.
• Wrongful death damages for families who’ve lost a loved one.

We work with medical and economic experts to ensure damages are fully calculated and that insurers can’t minimize the true cost of the crash.
