Motorcycle Accident Help

For almost 12 years, BikerDown has been serving and supporting bikers/motorcycle riders in our community and nationwide by providing support to injured riders and their families. Using the collective power of our tight-knit community, our organization helps riders and their families get through potentially devastating times by providing emotional support, financial strategies, financial assistance, medical equipment, and other services as needed.

Motorcycle riders have huge hearts and we are constantly doing fundraising rides for each other to help with medical expenses. BikerDown maximizes the impact of our collective power to help our own.

BikerDown was founded in 2011 by avid motorcycle rider Laurie Montoya who was on a ride when several bikers went down. In 2021, BikerDown Foundation added an additional chapter in Florida, giving us 4 fully functional chapters Arizona (Phoenix), National – Denver Colorado, and Nevada (Las Vegas). We also have chapters and resources in Illinois, New York, and Kentucky

“We had 12 bikes on the road and none of us had a first aid kit. Our cell phones didn’t work and even if they had, I realized that I didn’t know which family members these riders would want me to call. And some of the riders didn’t have any insurance! It was crazy!”

She knew that riders were constantly attending and helping with fundraisers for fallen riders but there was no organization dedicated to helping these bikers get through the tough times. So, in true grit fashion, she started one herself.

We are a nonprofit organization and we rely on volunteers, sponsors and members to sustain our mission. We need your participation and support! Find out what membership can do for you!

Biker Organization

BikerDown is one of a few true motorcycle-related bikers organizations. 90% of all fundraisers, rallies, or events are focused on charities outside of the biker community. When an injured rider goes down on any type of ride, BikerDown is there to help that injured rider with recovery. We help with financial strategy and a variety of other resources. We are different than other injury non-profits as we help with fundraising, not thru poker runs, but resources to really help you raise funds.

The biggest plea BikerDown makes to prospective members is to get the right insurance. One of the first problems an injured motorcycle rider or their family realizes after an accident or crash is JUST HOW INSURED THEY TRULY ARE. Their families are shell-shocked that the faith they put in their insurance company to cover them only covers the bike or covers only if they hit someone. We have a TEAM of genuine motorcycle attorneys and even our staff at BikerDown that will help you look at your policy and suggest what you SHOULD HAVE. Please email us or fill out this form by clicking here, and let us guide you to genuinely being covered.

We bikers have a culture of ‘It’s not going to happen to me.’ Riders don’t want anyone to be a “Debbie Downer” or feel they are being jinxed by talking about accidents. But accidents happen, and the best thing riders can do – for themselves and their families – is to be proactive and have the right insurance. The right insurance means you don’t have to worry if your accident is caused by a hit or run or if an offending auto driver has enough insurance. CLICK HERE TO GET A FREE INSURANCE REVIEW TODAY.

Supports Bikers

BikerDown supports bikers with resources not easily found when you are recovering including medical equipment and financial strategy and fundraising through our BDFundme fundraising platform. We also support the biker community through our charitable giving thru several programs, 2Wheels4Meals, FacesBehindTheHelmets, and our Adopt-A-Family for the Holidays.

In 2018, my wife and I were nearly killed by a 17 year old driving a rental car with his dad. He attempted to do a u-turn on a 55mph highway, then panicked stopped when one of them spotted us (either him or dad) blocking both lanes of travel in our direction. We were 75 feet away when he attempted this traveling at just under the limit. Good prep, instincts, brakes already covered allowed us to only crash in to them at a lower speed moderately injuring my wife, but severity crushing my entire leg. 6 months learning how to walk again. There's a reason rental companies won't rent to people under 21 or 25, inexperience yields poor reactions in emergency situations. Plead down to careless driving leading to major injury. Not phone related, but poor decisions on the part of dad and son, u-turn are tough under any circumstance, but on a fast highway? Turn right and turn around in the big box store parking lot.

In April of 2024 my best friend was killed by some rich dude in an Audi (whom never got out of his car to check on him) when he failed to yield the right of way. Somehow and someway they ended up faulting my friend saying his speed was a factor 1000 feet from the intersection he just left. Which was almost impossible on an older bone stock Heritage Softail. He left behind two beautiful children who very much needed their father, and many other loving family members.

In August 2014 my son, Nicholas, age 22, was killed when a man driving a SUV turned left directly in the path of my son's bike. My son had no time to stop and was killed on impact with the SUV. The driver had no drivers license as it was "permanently" revoked four times previous to this offense for being a habitual traffic offender. He had been charged numerous times with DUI and was convicted of same at least 5 times. My son was wearing a helmet and proper safety apparel. He had a valid license and motorcycle endorsement. He had taken the motorcycle safety course. And, he had a clean driving record. He was not speeding. He was going through an intersection on a green light. The killer driver ended up getting 60 days jail time, of which he served 42. My son, my family, and myself all got life sentences. In court, the killer driver said he was sad for a minute when he heard my son was only 22 and was dead. A minute. Drivers who are careless, unlicensed, and / or have a history of major traffic violations or DUIs and cause death of a bicyclist, pedestrian or motorcycle rider should be charged with a felony.
