Chesterfield Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Protecting Riders After Serious Crashes in Chesterfield

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on Missouri roads — and too often blamed when a crash isn’t their fault. Insurance adjusters frequently target riders, even when a car driver’s negligence is the true cause. Without an experienced attorney, this bias can cost seriously injured riders hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At Meyerkord Law Group, we represent riders injured in motorcycle accidents across Chesterfield, Ballwin, Wildwood, Town & Country, Creve Coeur, and the greater St. Louis area. We focus on serious injury cases and build every case for trial — which protects our clients from lowball settlements driven by anti-rider prejudice.

How We Protect Injured Riders

After a motorcycle crash, every minute matters. Our approach is designed to preserve evidence, document injuries, and counter common insurance tactics:

• Immediate evidence preservation – We document the crash scene, gather witness information, and send legal preservation notices for any electronic data (including dash cams or traffic cameras).
• Medical expertise from day one – Our in-house Registered Nurse (RN) and Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) review your records and assess long-term care needs, giving us an edge in valuing injuries properly.
• Trial-ready strategy – We use focus groups and practice trials to understand how a jury will see your case and to neutralize anti-rider bias.
• Direct senior attorney involvement – Geoff Meyerkord, with 30+ years of trial experience, personally manages your case from start to finish.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Chesterfield

Most motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers — not the rider. Common scenarios include:

• Drivers failing to yield at intersections
• Unsafe lane changes and blind spot collisions
• Left-turn crashes
• Distracted or impaired driving

We thoroughly investigate who is responsible and build a case that holds the right parties accountable.

Injuries We Handle

Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the lack of protection. We focus on cases involving:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – including concussions, cognitive impairments, and long-term behavioral effects
• Spinal cord injuries – paralysis, nerve damage, and herniated discs
• Broken bones and severe orthopedic injuries – requiring surgery and rehabilitation
• Road rash, scarring, and soft tissue damage
• Internal injuries – often invisible immediately after the crash
• Wrongful death – if a loved one does not survive

Our internal medical team ensures every injury is properly documented and valued, so insurance companies cannot underestimate your claim.

Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident

Your actions in the hours following a crash directly impact your case:

1. Call 911 and get medical attention – Even if you feel okay, internal injuries may not be immediately obvious.
2. Document the scene – Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and your injuries. Collect witness names and contact info.
3. Do not speak to the other driver’s insurer – Insurance adjusters may appear helpful but are collecting information to minimize their payout. Contact us first.
4. Contact Meyerkord Law Group immediately – The earlier we preserve evidence and start building your case, the stronger your claim.

What Compensation Can Cover

Motorcycle accident claims often involve severe injuries and life-changing consequences. We pursue full compensation for:

• Medical treatment – past, ongoing, and future care
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of quality of life
• Wrongful death damages, when applicable
