Compassionate Legal Support for Motorcycle Accident Victims
At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we understand the unique challenges faced by motorcycle accident victims in Bellevue, WA. Led by Robert Kornfeld, our firm uses empathy and extensive experience to guide you through the complexities of personal injury claims. Unlike other types of vehicular accidents, motorcycle accidents require a nuanced understanding of both legal implications and the specific nature of injuries that may occur. Our team's deep knowledge of Bellevue's traffic patterns and common road hazards, coupled with our professional experience, makes us uniquely equipped to handle these challenging cases.
Motorcycles, being smaller and less visible than other vehicles, present a significant risk on the road. Despite having the same rights as any other motor vehicle, motorcyclists often face bias on the road and in the courtroom. Our Bellevue-based team is dedicated to overcoming these hurdles by ensuring your story is heard and that justice is served effectively.

Critical Steps After a Motorcycle Accident in Bellevue
If you've been involved in a motorcycle accident, it's crucial to take the right steps to protect your rights and potential compensation.
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the priority. Even minor injuries should be evaluated immediately. Hospitals and healthcare facilities in Bellevue provide emergency services tailored to urgent needs, ensuring you get immediate care. Timely medical records are not only crucial for your health but also serve as vital evidence in your legal claim.
