Personal Injury Resources

Some personal injury lawyers double as easy riders.

“People expect good judgment from their lawyers and there’s a sense that riding a bike is reckless,” [said Spohrer Wilner partner Bob Spohrer].

Not at all, explains Spohrer. Although he admits he rides his silver Harley-Davidson for the “adrenaline rush,” he said his days of zooming through mountain passes are over. Like many of the legal riders, Spohrer favors cruising the open roads.

“Like anything worth doing, there’s an element of risk, but it’s manageable,” said Spohrer, sounding every bit the personal injury advocate.

Clients on the other side of the personal injury aisle don’t mind a motorcycling lawyer. E.T. Fernandez, a partner at Inman and Fernandez who specializes in personal injury defense, said his clients like his biking experience.

It gives him an edge, he said, when he’s defending a client against an injured biker suing for damages. It’s relatively easy to defend against lawsuits from bikers, said Fernandez. He can look at the circumstances surrounding a wreck and tell whether the biker was driving recklessly, he said.
