It can happen in the blink of an eye. You are riding your motorcycle to work or on the highway and suddenly, you have been hit. Injuries sustained on a motorcycle are typically more severe than if you were buckled in a four-wheeled motor vehicle. The open-air leaves you susceptible to more serious injuries, and the slim build of the bike does not allow for advanced safety technology.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident due to somebody else’s negligence, it is vital you reach out to a dedicated personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Your motorcycle injuries can range in severity, and the more serious they are, the more damages you may be owed. Our skilled team at Kash Legal has helped our clients get millions of dollars back in compensation for their personal injury claims, and we want to do the same for you.
Who May Be Liable For Injuries After a Motorcycle Accident?
If your accident is a direct result of another driver or person’s negligence, they can be found liable for your damages. Common parties at-fault in motorcycle accidents include:
Other Drivers
Many drivers do not adhere to the traffic laws of the street, and fail to notice their motorcycle counterparts. If other drivers run a light or stop sign, or fail to use a turning signal while merging, your attorney can help file a claim against them.
Bicyclists or Pedestrians
The carelessness or recklessness of bicycle drivers or even walking pedestrians can cause an accident. Common acts of negligence on behalf of bicyclists or pedestrians include illegally crossing the street or traveling on parts of the road not designated for them.
Property Owners
Cracks in the street or unkempt property can lead to dangerous collisions or crashes on your motorcycle. Property owners must keep their space safe for anyone passing by. Failure to keep up with that standard of care can result in avoidable accidents.
If you are having a hard time distinguishing liability, your personal injury attorney will help. They can conduct an investigation into the accident and gather evidence to support your claim.
Evidence in a Motorcycle Accident Case
One of the most important pieces of your personal injury claim is the evidence surrounding your accident. This will help document the specifics of your injuries and inform a proper compensation amount. Common types of evidence that may be helpful in motorcycle accident cases include:
- Witness statements from people who saw the accident happen
- Photos or videos of the accident scene
- The police report from the accident
- Medical records documenting your injuries
If you are able to gather evidence after the accident, this can be invaluable to your case. However, if you are too injured or too overwhelmed, your attorney can gather evidence for you after. They can round up eyewitness accounts and collect time-sensitive information, like traffic camera footage. It is crucial to contact them as soon as you can so that they can begin this process.
