Stamford Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Who Fights for Injured Riders
When a driver turned left across Atlantic Street last month, three motorcyclists ended up at Stamford Hospital within an hour. Two of them called us from the emergency room because they knew they needed help fast. If you’ve been hit while riding your bike in Stamford, the next 48 hours matter more than you think.
We’re Wocl Leydon, and we’ve spent the last 20 years helping motorcycle riders get fair treatment after crashes. Insurance companies don’t play fair with bikers. They blame you for the accident even when you followed every traffic law. They say your injuries aren’t that bad. They offer you $5,000 when your medical bills alone are $40,000.
That’s where we come in.

What Makes Motorcycle Crashes Different in Stamford
Stamford has some of the worst intersections for motorcycle accidents in Connecticut. Route 1 near the Stamford Town Center sees multiple bike crashes every year. The merge lanes on I-95 around Exit 8 are another danger zone. Spring Street during rush hour? Drivers are looking at their phones, not checking their mirrors for motorcycles.
When you get hit on a bike, your injuries are worse than car accident. You don’t have a metal frame protecting you. Road rash, broken bones, head injuries, and spinal damage are common. We’ve seen riders lose months of work. Some can’t return to their old jobs at all.
Connecticut law protects motorcycle riders, but you need someone who knows how to use those laws.
We’ve handled over 500 motorcycle accident cases in Fairfield County. We know which doctors treat road rash properly. We know what your case is actually worth. And we know how to make insurance companies pay the full amount.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Services We Provide
Here’s what we do for injured riders in Stamford.
Free Case Review
Call us right after your accident. We’ll tell you if you have a case worth pursuing. This consultation costs you nothing. We review your police report, look at your injuries, and explain your options in plain English. Most riders who call us wish they’d called sooner.
Investigation and Evidence Collection
Insurance adjusters show up at accident scenes fast. They take photos that make you look bad. They get statements from witnesses before you can. We flip that script.
Our team visits the crash site within 24 hours. We take our own photos. We find witnesses the police missed. We get surveillance video from nearby businesses before it gets deleted. We document skid marks, road conditions, and sight line problems. This evidence wins cases.
Medical Documentation and Treatment Coordination
You need specific doctors who understand motorcycle injuries. Regular primary care doctors don’t always know how to document road rash or soft tissue damage properly. We connect you with specialists who treat riders and know how to write medical reports that insurance companies can’t ignore.
We also track every medical bill and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Emergency room visits, ambulance rides, physical therapy, prescription costs, and future treatment needs all get documented properly.
Insurance Claim Negotiation
This is where most riders get taken advantage of. The insurance adjuster seems nice at first. They act concerned about your injuries. Then they offer you a settlement that doesn’t even cover your medical bills.
We handle all communication with insurance companies. They can’t call you and try to get you to say something that hurts your case. They can’t pressure you into accepting a bad settlement. We negotiate based on what your case is actually worth, not what they want to pay.
Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Representation
Some cases don’t settle. When insurance companies refuse to make fair offers, we file lawsuits. We’ve taken motorcycle accident cases to trial in Stamford Superior Court many times. Juries in Fairfield County understand that drivers need to watch for motorcycles. When we show them evidence of negligent driving, they hold those drivers accountable.
We handle every part of the lawsuit. Depositions, document requests, expert witnesses, and trial preparation all get done right. You focus on healing. We focus on winning your case.
Property Damage Claims
Your bike might be totaled. Insurance companies offer lowball amounts that don’t reflect your motorcycle’s real value. They depreciate custom parts and accessories. They ignore the market value of your specific model.
We fight for full property damage compensation. This includes the actual cash value of your motorcycle, safety gear that got damaged, and custom parts. If your bike can be repaired, we make sure the estimate covers proper repairs, not cheap shortcuts.
Uninsured Motorist Claims
About one in eight drivers in Connecticut has no insurance. If an uninsured driver hits you, your own insurance policy might cover your injuries through uninsured motorist coverage. But your own insurance company will fight your claim just as hard as the other side would.
We handle uninsured motorist claims against your own insurance carrier. Connecticut law requires insurance companies to treat you fairly, but they rarely do unless you have a motorcycle accident lawyer pushing them.
Hit and Run Accident Claims
Someone hits you and drives away. It happens more often than it should, especially in parking lots around the Stamford Town Center or on side streets in the Waterside area. You’re left injured with no way to identify the driver.
Your uninsured motorist coverage usually applies to hit-and-run crashes, too. We help you file the claim correctly and document everything to maximize your recovery, even when we can’t find the other driver.
