There’s nothing like the freedom of the open road on a motorcycle. But when another driver’s carelessness turns that ride into a life-changing accident, your entire future can feel uncertain.
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and difficult questions: Who will pay for your treatment? How will you cover your lost income? Will the insurance company treat you fairly?

Motorcyclists are far more vulnerable in a crash than other vehicle operators. Even with proper gear and safe riding habits, a collision with a car or truck can lead to devastating injuries.
Unfortunately, many insurance companies still believe outdated stereotypes about riders and often assume that they are reckless or automatically at fault in a crash. At Mann Law, we know better, and we know how to push back.
When you work with a skilled Scarborough motorcycle accident attorney, we help level the playing field by:
You’ve been through enough. Let us take the legal weight off your shoulders so you can focus on healing.
The moments after a crash are overwhelming, but your actions can make a difference in your recovery and legal claim. Here are the most important steps to take:
The sooner our skilled lawyers are involved, the better positioned we are to preserve evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.
Most motorcycle accidents are not caused by reckless riding. They’re caused by others failing to share the road safely. Some of the most common crash causes we see involve drivers who:
Our team knows how to investigate motorcycle accidents thoroughly and present a clear, accurate picture of what happened.
Motorcyclists have little protection in a crash. Even with a helmet and proper gear, riders often suffer life-altering injuries, such as:
The team at Mann Law works with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to understand how your injury will affect your life now and in the years ahead. Your compensation should reflect the whole picture, not just short-term costs.
One of the most common questions we hear is, What is the average payout for a motorcycle accident? The answer depends entirely on your unique circumstances.
Payouts are typically based on factors like:
Some cases settle for thousands, others for hundreds of thousands or more. But at Mann Law, we never give inflated promises or “average” numbers that may not apply to your situation. We’ll evaluate your case honestly and fight for what’s fair based on your needs and losses.
Maine follows an at-fault system for motor vehicle accidents, including motorcycle crashes. That means the driver who caused your accident (and their insurer) is responsible for paying your damages.
Proving fault can be challenging in motorcycle cases, especially when insurers try to suggest the rider was partly to blame. As your Scarborough motorcycle accident lawyer, we gather key evidence like:
The stronger the liability case, the stronger your compensation claim.
Before founding Mann Law, Chrissy Mann worked as an in-house insurance defense attorney. She saw firsthand how insurers try to reduce or deny legitimate motorcycle injury claims.
Now, she uses that knowledge to help injury victims. Our team knows how to anticipate insurance tactics, build proactive cases, and negotiate from a position of strength.
While many firms treat motorcycle accidents like any other personal injury claim, we know these cases require a more profound understanding of the injuries, the biases riders face, and the unique laws that apply.
Depending on your injuries and how the accident has affected your life, you may be entitled to compensation for:
We work so that nothing is overlooked, especially long-term costs that may not be obvious early.
When it comes to motorcycle injury cases, experience and approach matter.
At Mann Law, we offer:
We treat our clients like family. If you’re looking for a law firm that truly listens and fights for what’s right, we’d be honored to help.
In Scarborough, motorcycle accidents often happen at busy intersections along Route 1, in the Route 9 corridor, and near the Maine Turnpike interchanges. Common causes include drivers turning left across motorcycle paths, merging vehicles that fail to check blind spots, distracted driving in commercial areas, and road surface hazards. The area’s mix of high-speed roads and heavy commercial traffic creates significant risk for riders.
Call 911 immediately and make sure police respond and file a report. Do not remove your helmet or gear at the scene and let medical personnel do that. Get emergency medical evaluation even if you feel you are not seriously hurt. Photograph the scene, vehicles, and your equipment. Gather witness contact information. Contact Mann Law before making any statements to the other driver’s insurer.
Yes. Maine’s comparative fault system allows recovery even when both parties share some responsibility. What matters is the actual evidence of how the accident occurred. Mann Law conducts its own thorough investigation independent of the police report, and we counter any unfair blame shifting with a well-documented factual presentation of your case.
Motorcycle accident victims frequently suffer traumatic brain injuries, road rash from sliding across pavement, broken bones including collar bones and wrists, spinal cord injuries, torn ligaments, and in severe crashes, internal organ damage. The lack of protective enclosure makes these injuries far more serious than those in typical car accidents, and the resulting medical and financial costs can be substantial.
We investigate the crash comprehensively, preserve physical and electronic evidence, work with medical providers to document the full extent of your injuries, and push back hard against insurer tactics designed to minimize motorcycle claims. We treat your case with the same seriousness and urgency we would want for a family member, and we do not settle for less than what you deserve.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash, whether on Route 1, I-295, or one of Scarborough’s many scenic backroads, don’t face the aftermath alone.
At Mann Law, we understand what you’re going through, and we’re ready to help. We’ll take the time to understand your story, answer your questions, and guide you through your legal options with care and honesty.
