Kansas City Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Attorney

Motorcycle and bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries and can present unique challenges when it comes to investigating and pursuing claims.


McGreevy Law represents bikers, riders, cyclists, as well as their respective passengers throughout Kansas and Missouri who have been injured because of another person's negligence. We investigate the unique facts of each case, explain your rights, and provide clear guidance throughout the legal process.

Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Cases Present Unique Challenges

Cyclists and their passengers have far less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, which means even lower-speed collisions can cause significant injuries or death.


These cases often involve questions about visibility, road conditions, various drivers’ behavior, and circumstances leading up to the collision. Careful investigation is vital to understanding how the accident occurred and who may be responsible.

Helmet Laws in Kansas and Missouri

Helmet laws differ between Missouri and Kansas, and the laws that apply may depend on where the accident occurred and the rider's circumstances.


If you have questions about how state laws may affect your case, we'll explain the rules that apply to your situation once we’ve learned more about the specific details of your claims.

Riding in the Kansas City Area

Motorcycle and bicycle collisions happen on city streets, highways, and rural roads throughout the Kansas City metro. Cyclists should be safe to ride anywhere, but too often that’s not the case.


Whether an accident occurs on I-35, I-70, I-435, U.S. 69, or a neighborhood roadway, every case deserves a careful review of the facts and circumstances involved.

How McGreevy Law Helps Injured Cyclists

After learning about your crash, we investigate the facts, gather available evidence, review medical records, communicate with insurance companies when appropriate, and work toward resolving your claims.


Many motorcycle and bicycle collision claims settle only after a lawsuit has been filed. Some require trial. We prepare every case carefully so we're ready for whichever direction the case takes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I still bring claims if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

    Yes. The successfulness of those claims depends on the facts of your case and the laws that apply. We're happy to discuss your legal rights and explain how state and federal law may affect your claims.

  • What if the driver says they didn't see me?

    Questions about visibility and fault are common in motorcycle and bicycle collision cases. We do not rely on driver statements alone to assess liability; we review all available evidence to better understand how the collision occurred.

  • How long will my motorcycle accident case take?

    Each case is different, and your timeline depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, your medical treatment, your wage loss, and whether liability is disputed. Many cycling collision cases must be filed because defendants undervalue cyclists’ injuries.

  • Do motorcycle or bicycle accident cases usually settle?

    Many claims resolve through settlement, while others require litigation through trial. No attorney can guarantee you any specific outcome, as the necessary path depends on the circumstances of each case.

  • How much does it cost to hire McGreevy Law?

    Motorcycle and bicycle accident cases are generally handled on a contingency fee basis, like other personal injury claims at McGreevy Law. That means there is typically no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered on your behalf. We explain our fee agreement in detail before you decide whether to move forward with retaining us.
