We Understand Motorycle Accidents

At Iacobelli Law Firm we have a passion for representing motorcycle riders who have been injured in accidents. Our founding partner, Andrew Iacobelli, not only possesses extensive legal expertise but also shares a deep connection with the motorcycle community. Andrew began riding dirt bikes at the age of 7 and has continues to enjoy riding motorcycles and recreational vehicles, including dirt bikes and ATVs.  This personal experience fuels his understanding of the unique joys and challenges faced by motorcycle enthusiasts.

We recognize that riding a motorcycle is not just a mode of transportation; for many it's a way of life. The freedom, the adrenaline rush, and the sense of community among riders are irreplaceable. However, we also understand the risks that come with this passion. Motorcyclists are often vulnerable on the road, and accidents can have severe consequences. That's why we are dedicated to obtaining justice for injured riders. We believe that every motorcycle rider deserves a safe road environment and the right to fair treatment under the law.

Andrew's firsthand experience as a motorcycle rider allows him to approach each case with empathy and insight. He knows the prejudices motorcyclists can face and is committed to breaking down those barriers in the pursuit of justice. His passion for riding and for the law drives our firm's mission to provide exceptional legal representation to injured motorcyclists. We stand by our clients every step of the way, from navigating the complexities of insurance claims to fighting for their rights in court.

At Iacobelli Law Firm, we offer personalized and compassionate legal services. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll an accident can take on a rider and their family. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive the compensation they deserve to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. We are not just lawyers; we are advocates for the motorcycle community.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you don't have to face the aftermath alone. Trust a legal team that understands your passion and is committed to defending it. Contact Iacobelli Law Firm today, and let us help you on the road to recovery and justice.

Ontario Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Ontario-Wide Representation

The lawyers at Iacobelli Law Firm understand and appreciate why you ride.  Our lawyers represent motorcycle riders that have been seriously injured throughout Ontario.  We also represent riders from Ontario that have been injured while riding in the United States.   We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients in injury and wrongful death accident claims.

​Motorcycle accidents in Ontario account for significant injuries on our roads and highways.  Traffic accident statistics show that a disproportionately high number of catastrophic injuries, such as brain injury, broken bones, paralysis, and death are sustained by motorcyclists. These figures are especially tragic considering that a significant number of motorcycle accidents are caused when automobile operators are not paying attention and simply fail to recognize the presence of the motorcyclists. 

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Ontario

Although many members of the the public have a bias against motorcycle riders, studies have regularly revealed that most motorcycle crash injuries are caused by the negligence of the other vehicle driver. Some of  the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in Ontario include the following:

• vehicle turning left across the path of an oncoming motorcycle;
• vehicle changing lanes and sideswiping or cutting-off the motorcycle;
• vehicle drivers fails to see the motorcycle; and 
• speeding by the vehicle driver and/or motorcycle.

How Much Compensation will the Victim Recover in a Motorcycle Accident Claim

Motorcycle accident cases, like all personal injury matters, will need to be assessed on a case by case basis.  Generally speaking, however, victims of motorcycle accidents will often recover more money for their claim than will those injured in other types of motor vehicle accidents.  Even modest motorcycle accidents can result in serious injury, while more severe accidents will account for serious orthopedic injuries (broken bones), head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and often wrongful death.   

The amount of money that the victim of a motorcycle accident will recover in a motorcycle accident claim will depend on the severity of the injuries, as well as the impact that those injuries have on the victim's ability to function.  The victim will be able to claim money for various categories of damages or harms, including pain and suffering, loss of income, health care expenses, and home maintenance costs. 

Motorcycle Crash Victims Can Also Make a Claim if  They Are At Fault.
In addition, motorcycle accident victims are entitled to benefits irrespetive of fault (No-Fault Insurance Benefits).  This means that even in a single vehicle motorcycle crash, or one where the motorcycle rider was at fault, they can still make a claim for insurance benefits. 

Fatal Motorcycle Accident Claims.
In the case of a motorcycle accident resulting in death, the estate of the victim and the family members will be able to advance claims.  Wrongful death claims for the family members of the victim of a motorcycle accidents are subject to an Ontario statute called the Family Law Act.  Sadly, we have represented many families that have lost loved ones following a fatal accident.    Learn more about the rights of the family members to bring a wrongful death claim here. 

How Much Do Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Charge?

A reputable Ontario motorcycle accident lawyer will not typically charge anything up front in the form of fees or retainers. Motorcycle accident lawyers at Iacobelli Law Firm work on a contingency basis. This means we don't charge you any fees unless we are succesful in recovering money for you.  You will not have to worry about paying any fees until your case is resolved. 

In addition, most motorcycle accident lawyers charge for out-of-pocket expenses such as court filing fees, and the cost of expert reports and medical records. In most cases, however, the injured party will not have to pay for these expenses until their case is settled.  Often, the insurance company will also pay for, or contribute to the costs, of these expenses. 

Ontario Motorcycle Accident Lawyer: We Understand - We Ride Too 

Motorcycle accidents are unique and present special challenges that must be considered and addressed early.  Motorcycles do not respond the same as cars, under braking, acceleration and steering.  Ontario personal injury lawyer Andrew Iacobelli has experience with serious and complex motorcycle accident claims.  Andrew has acquired experience through acting for the plantiff and defense in serious motorcycle accident claims, which have included cases involving orthopaedic injuries/joint fractures, spinal cord injuries, amputations, acquired brain injuries, and fatality claims.  Andrew has also had the privilege of working directly with world renowned experts in motorcycle safety on past cases, including two of the authors of the Hurt Report, widely considred as the most comprehensive study on motorcycle safety.    Andrew also understands the point of view of the motorcycle rider, as he has been riding motorcycles most of his life, beginning with dirt bikes as a child.

Stereotypes and Bias Against Motorcycle Riders

In Ontario motorcycle accident cases, you should have a lawyer that has experience with motorcycle claims.  A motorcycle accident case is unique and not like other car accident cases. Unlike a car accident case, when a motorcycle is involved, it can be harder to prove fault even on obvious facts.  That is because of  negative stereotypes surrounding motorcyclists.   The truth is, we have learned that most of these stereotypes and bias against motorcycle riders are completely untrue.  In fact, most motorcycle riders we encounter are safe and responsible drivers.  On the whole, motorcycle riders are concerned about their safety - that is why they often wear protective gear, including helmets, leathers or Kevlar reinforced equipment, protective gloves and footwear.  Many motorcycle riders have taken one or more courses on safe riding, and their driver records are usually exemplary.    The reality is, most of the motorcycle accidents we see are the result of driver's not paying close enough attention and failing to observe the motorcycle.  Among the most common example is when vehicles turn across the path of an oncoming motorcycle.  This occurs in a left turn, as well as in entering and exiting private driveways and parking lots.  In these cases, the motorcyclist simply has no chance to avoid the collision.
