Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Finding cause in a motorcycle accident

Pinning down the cause of your motorcycle accident is one of the most important steps when it comes to getting the compensation you deserve. In California, the at-fault party will be held financially responsible for the crash, which means they may have to compensate you for damages such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, etc.

Here are some of the individuals or entities that might be held liable in your motorcycle accident case:

Negligent drivers:

If a drunk or distracted driver struck your motorcycle and caused your injuries, his or her insurance company might compensate you for your damages. Examples of negligence or wrongdoing include driving while texting, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding or violating the rules of the road such as running a red light or stop sign. If the driver was on the job at the time, his or her employer can also be held responsible

Automaker or parts manufacturer:

If your accident was caused by a defective motorcycle, the manufacturer of your motorcycle or the defective part can be held liable for your accident and resulting injuries and damages.

Governmental entity:

If a dangerous or defective roadway caused your motorcycle accident, the governmental agency responsible for designing or maintaining the roadway can be held liable.

Discovery:

In addition to preparing and filing relevant paperwork in court, your lawyer will also engage in the discovery process, which is the formal process where the parties involved exchange information about evidence and witnesses they plan to present during the trial.

Trial:

If the case ends up in the courtroom, your personal injury lawyer will represent you in court and present your case to the judge and jury.

Motorcycle accident cases are civil personal injury lawsuits, which means as the plaintiff, you must prove or present evidence of the defendant's negligence or wrongdoing. Your Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney will help you secure and compile the crucial evidence you need to prove your case.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accident injuries can range from moderate to severe, catastrophic or even fatal. Because motorcyclists have minimal protection, colliding with another vehicle or hitting the pavement could result in a range of injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), per vehicle miles traveled in 2019, motorcyclists were about 29 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to die in a crash and were four times more likely to be injured.

Here are some of the most common injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones or fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Road rash
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Injuries of the upper and lower extremities
  • Burn injuries
  • Limb amputations

Motorcycle accident victims often suffer permanent injuries that could result in disabilities or long-term effects such as chronic pain. In many cases, victims may not be able to return to work for an extended period of time. Working with a Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney will help victims and their families secure maximum compensation for the losses they've sustained.
