Motorcycle Accident Causes

The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is violation of the motorcyclist’s right of way by another driver. These irresponsible drivers often say that they never even saw the motorcycle. Sometimes a drivers’ reckless behavior causes a motorcyclist to attempt evasive maneuvers resulting in a crash without the other vehicle being directly involved. Other causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Defective motorcycle
• Defective motorcycle parts
• Defective roadways

Responsible Parties

Once we determine the cause of your accident we can determine who was responsible, and therefore, who is responsible for compensating you for your injuries. There can be more than one responsible party in a single motorcycle accident lawsuit. For instance, if your accident was caused by another driver and a defective helmet contributed to your injuries, the driver and the helmet maker may be held responsible for your injuries and losses. Responsible parties can include:

• Drivers
• Motorcycle manufacturers
• Parts manufacturers
• Dealerships
• Parts sellers
• Repair shops
• Helmet manufacturers
• Government entities responsible for design, construction, and maintenance of roadways

Truck accident lawsuits are generally more difficult to handle because there are likely several states and federal law that have to be considered. In addition, there can be many more guilty parties than in a car accident case. These parties can include:

• The trucking company
• The trucking company management
• The suppliers
• The insurance providers
• The truck owner
• The truck driver

Because these cases are often complex, if you are involved in a semi-truck accident, you should consider hiring an experienced truck accident lawyer to handle your claim.

There are many potential causes of truck accidents, but they can include:

• Improper training
• Oversized or overloaded trucks
• Lack of driver experience
• Large blind spots caused by trailers
