Each Case Is Different
Attorneys Scanlon and Galla have handled motorcycle accident claims throughout Stow, Akron, and the surrounding Summit County communities. Motorcycle crashes often involve severe injuries and disputed liability, and they guide clients through every stage of the process—from investigating the crash to dealing with insurance companies and pursuing compensation.
Motorcycle accident cases frequently require specialized investigation. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla work with experienced traffic crash reconstructionists to preserve critical evidence, analyze vehicle damage, review electronic data, and recreate how the collision occurred. This is especially important when insurers attempt to blame motorcyclists or minimize the severity of the crash.
Every motorcycle injury claim must be carefully evaluated. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla assess medical records, future treatment needs, lost income, and the long-term impact of injuries such as fractures, head trauma, spinal injuries, or road rash. Their goal is to ensure your motorcycle accident claim is properly valued and that all damages are fully accounted for before any resolution.
How Do I Know I Need a Lawyer?
Serious Injuries – If your motorcycle crash resulted in broken bones, spinal injuries, head trauma, road rash, or other serious medical conditions, Attorneys Scanlon and Galla can help ensure your claim is properly documented, evaluated, and pursued. Motorcycle injuries often involve long-term treatment, rehabilitation, or permanent impairment, making skilled legal guidance essential.
Delayed Injuries – Some motorcycle accident injuries do not appear immediately. Headaches, numbness, cognitive changes, internal injuries, or persistent pain may develop hours or days after the crash. Even if you felt fine initially, these delayed-onset symptoms can significantly impact your claim. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla help ensure these injuries are fully recorded and assessed by the at-fault driver’s insurer.
Dealing with Insurance – Motorcycle accident claims often involve insurance companies that do not have your best interests in mind. Insurers may deny liability, minimize your pain and suffering, or offer a low settlement that doesn’t cover medical bills, lost wages, or long-term care. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla negotiate directly with insurers on your behalf, protecting your right to full compensation.

What Kinds of Accidents We Have Handled
Rear-end motorcycle crashes are especially dangerous because riders have little protection from impact. Even at low speeds, these accidents can cause whiplash, spinal injuries, fractures, or riders being thrown from the bike. Attorneys James Galla and Lawrence Scanlon help injured motorcyclists in Stow, Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Barberton, and throughout Summit County document injuries, preserve evidence, and pursue compensation.
Head-on motorcycle collisions often result in catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, internal organ injuries, and fatalities. These crashes may also involve delayed-onset symptoms that are not immediately apparent. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla represent injured riders throughout Stow, Akron, and surrounding communities to ensure all injuries and future medical needs are fully evaluated before settlement.
Intersection and T-bone motorcycle accidents frequently occur when drivers fail to yield or misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or visibility. These crashes are common in Stow, Akron, Fairlawn, and nearby areas and often lead to severe side-impact injuries. Insurance companies regularly dispute fault or blame the rider. Attorneys Galla and Scanlon work to gather crash data, witness statements, and reconstruction evidence to establish liability.
Left-turn and failure-to-yield motorcycle accidents are among the most common causes of serious rider injuries. Drivers turning in front of oncoming motorcycles often claim they “didn’t see” the rider. These cases frequently involve contested liability and require thorough investigation. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla represent Summit County motorcyclists in proving fault and securing full compensation.
Drunk-driving motorcycle crashes in Stow, Akron, Hudson, and Cuyahoga Falls often result in devastating or fatal injuries. Even when impairment is clear, insurers may attempt to minimize damages or shift blame. Attorneys Galla and Scanlon aggressively pursue these claims by obtaining police reports, toxicology evidence, and expert testimony to hold intoxicated drivers accountable.
Distracted driving motorcycle accidents involving texting, phone use, or in-vehicle distractions remain a leading cause of serious rider injuries. These crashes often result in rear-end or lane-departure impacts that throw riders from their motorcycles. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla help injured motorcyclists obtain phone records, crash data, and witness statements to prove distracted driving.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist motorcycle accidents present unique challenges. When an at-fault driver in Stow, Akron, Hudson, Wadsworth, or other Northeast Ohio communities lacks sufficient insurance, UM/UIM coverage may apply. These claims are often heavily contested. Attorneys Galla and Scanlon help motorcyclists challenge improper denials and pursue full recovery.
