Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
A variety of factors can be involved in a motorcycle accident. Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers can help determine who was at fault and therefore liable for your injuries.
Driver Negligence
Oftentimes, drivers of cars fail to give motorcyclists the same rights as other drivers, or they simply don’t see the motorcycle due to its smaller size. Inattentive driving, failing to notice motorcyclists, and disobeying the rules of the road can all lead to collisions between motorcycles and autos. When drugs or alcohol are involved, the damage can be even worse. No matter what the reason, collisions between motorcycles and cars can cause devastating injuries.
Defective Equipment
Helmets can help save a motorcyclist’s life in an accident. However, when the helmet or other equipment is faulty and fails to protect the rider, the designers, manufacturers and/or sellers of the defective product can be held liable for injuries. Defective motorcycle design can also be the cause of accidents, especially for accidents involving only the motorcyclist. Our skilled and experienced motorcycle accident lawyers, serving Indianapolis, Evansville, Louisville, and surrounding areas, can investigate your case to determine if a defective product was to blame for your injuries. Then, they can hold the responsible parties liable.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Because motorcycles lack the bulk and weight of cars, as well as protective features such as roofs, doors, and seat belts, motorcyclists are at an extremely high risk for serious personal injury when involved in an accident. Injuries received by a motorcyclist in a collision with a car can be extensive and life changing. Brain injury and spinal cord injury are common and can lead to paralysis, permanent disability, and even death. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, our lawyers can help you get the compensation you need to move on with your life.
Wrongful Death Resulting from a Motorcycle Accident
Unfortunately, because of the severity of injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents, these injuries often end in a fatality. If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident caused by another’s negligent actions, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim to hold the negligent party responsible.
