Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Similar to a car accident, there are many factors that can contribute to a motorcycle accident. Many motorcycle accidents can be caused by a combination of factors.

Driver error: Many motorcycle accidents are caused by driver error, such as speeding, reckless driving, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Inexperienced riders: Inexperienced riders are at a higher risk of motorcycle accidents, as they may not have the skills and experience needed to operate the motorcycle safely.

Poor road conditions: Poor road conditions, such as potholes, uneven pavement, and debris on the road, can increase the risk of motorcycle accidents.

Vehicle defects: Defective motorcycle parts or manufacturing defects can contribute to motorcycle accidents.

Distracted driving: Distracted driving, such as texting or talking on the phone while driving, can increase the risk of motorcycle accidents.

Weather conditions: Inclement weather, such as rain, snow, or fog, can increase the risk of motorcycle accidents.

Negligent drivers: Negligent drivers, such as those who fail to yield the right of way or follow traffic laws, can cause motorcycle accidents.

Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe, life-threatening injuries. Some of the most common injuries caused by motorcycle crashes include:

Head and brain injuries: Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), are common in motorcycle accidents, even when the rider is wearing a helmet. These injuries can be severe and may result in long-term or permanent disabilities.

Spinal cord injuries: Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, depending on the location and severity of the injury. These injuries can also require extensive medical treatment and long-term care.

Road rash and burns: Road rash occurs when the rider slides across the pavement and can cause severe skin abrasions, cuts, and bruises. Burns can also occur in motorcycle accidents, especially when the motorcycle catches fire.

Fractures and broken bones: Motorcycle accidents can result in fractures and broken bones, which can be painful and require lengthy recovery periods.

Internal injuries: Internal injuries, such as damage to organs, can occur in motorcycle accidents, even when there are no external signs of injury.

Soft tissue injuries: Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, and bruises, are common in motorcycle accidents and can cause significant pain and discomfort.

Psychological trauma: Motorcycle accidents can also cause psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can have long-lasting and life-altering effects on the victim.

Our Legal Process

1. Investigation and Gathering Evidence

The first step is to investigate the accident thoroughly, which includes collecting all available evidence, such as police reports, eyewitness statements, photographs, videos, and medical records. This will help your attorney determine who was at fault for the accident and the extent of the injuries and damages suffered. They may also gather evidence from the accident scene, such as skid marks or debris, to help reconstruct what happened.

2. Negotiation and Settlement

Once our team has gathered all of the necessary information, they will begin negotiating with the insurance companies and other parties involved in the motorcycle accident to try to reach a fair settlement. Your lawyer will present their findings and demand compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. If a settlement cannot be reached, we may need to proceed to the next step.

3. Litigation and Trial

If a settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, your lawyer may file a lawsuit on your behalf and proceed to trial. During the trial, the lawyer will present evidence, call witnesses, and argue on behalf of their client. The goal is to convince a judge or jury to award fair and just compensation for the victim’s injuries and damages. Throughout the entire legal process, our goal is to protect your rights and advocate for your best interest.
