Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are small and fast and compared to vehicles. Perhaps these facts are exactly what makes accidents associated to motorcycles so deadly; they happen swiftly, and because a motorcycle leaves its rider(s) exposed, they’re usually susceptible to serious damages and even loss of life.

Causes

Just like motor vehicle accidents, most causes of motorcycle accidents are usually factors that can be prevented, but due to ignorance or negligence, most people do or omit them anyway and end up causing fatal road accidents.

Human causes. These are usually causes that are due to recklessness or carelessness of a motorcycle rider, negligence, drunk riding, over speeding, and even intentional distractions like calling while riding among others.

Natural causes. Not many natural causes lead to motorcycle accidents, but the same ones could cause motor vehicles accidents. They include bad weather and even harsh climatic conditions over a long time.

Other causes. These may include but are not limited to poor visibility of motorcyclists due to the small size of motorcycles and failure to wear high visibility clothing, sharing lanes with a fellow motorcyclist which may cause collisions upon sudden swerving of either or both parties, and blind spots which happen when sharing lanes with a vehicle and therefore reduce visibility for both the motorcyclist and the oncoming vehicle.

What You Should Do

If you’re not careful, you may not be able to raise a claim of compensation after a motorcycle accident. This is because proving fault may not be as easy as it is in motor vehicle accidents. You should, therefore, get legal representation, preferably of professional lawyers who understand what they’re doing and have had several years of experience dealing with such cases as yours. Why don’t you give us a call? It is important that you reach out to us as soon as you can so that we can start preparing for your case as soon as possible as we get you professional help for your injuries in case you sustain any.

Investigate your case. This is the most important part. Most motorcycle accident cases usually face major hitches because blame is mostly placed on the motorcyclist.

Therefore, we shall conduct our own investigations with the facts that you provided us in mind. We shall ensure that every testimony or report that places you in blame without a valid backing or on no true grounds is knocked off. Because of this, time is of much essence. Therefore, we shall begin quick investigations as soon as possible and start building our case with credible witness statements and collected evidence.

Make consultations. Some accidents are usually difficult to shake blame. We shall, therefore, consult professional individuals in respective fields and ensure that we’re well-guided on the accident possibilities and impossibilities, and also get help with recreating the scene through virtual assistants and modern intelligence which can aid in visualizations. This will help us solidify your case and pack more armor.

Fight the case. Beginning with your insurance company which most likely will try to deny compensation, we shall provide the stated facts and collected evidence, and if they wish to proceed to trial, we shall be more than willing to get you a win which will mean that you get your fair and deserved compensation at the end.

  • Understand your legal options
  • Conduct an investigation into the accident
  • Challenge the police report’s findings
  • Prevent insurance companies from settling too soon
  • Ensure that your long-term medical, psychological and financial needs are identified
