Negligence in Motorcycle Accident Cases
Motorcycles are fun to own and operate, but a pleasant motorcycle ride can turn into a deadly event under the right circumstances. And the sad thing is that most motorcycle accidents are preventable if other drivers on the road would drive responsibly and avoid negligent behavior that costs lives. It is common for motorcycle accidents to be caused by:
- Driver inattention due to texting or talking on the phone.
- Driver fatigue due to lack of sleep or driving while exhausted.
- Driver intoxication due to alcohol and drugs.
- Driver error, such as failing to check a blind spot or making a left turn in front of a motorcycle without warning. Other examples of driver errors include cutting motorcycles off while switching lanes on the freeway, striking a motorcycle while attempting to pass another vehicle, or opening a car door into the path of a motorcyclist.
Aside from driver negligence and driver error, road conditions can also play a part in motorcycle crashes. If those conditions exist due to the negligence of another party or entity, then those individuals/companies/governmental organizations may also shoulder some of the blame for accidents that result.
Motorcycle Accident Damages
Damages can really add up quickly when a serious motorcycle accident occurs, making it hard for claimants to relax and focus on healing. This is doubly true when you factor in that healing requires taking time off from your job and going to medical appointments and therapies. Because of this, it is vital that your claim is settled or adjudicated for the maximum dollar figure possible. Typically, a settlement or verdict includes compensation for past, present, and future medical bills and lost wages, reduced capacity to earn a living, and pain and suffering.
