Protecting Victims Injured in Motorcycle Wrecks

Motorcyclists face a number of dangers when using the roads. They are often not given the same considerations as other types of vehicles, and drivers may fail to notice them, drive unsafely around them, or refuse to yield the right-of-way or share the road as required. To make matters worse, motorcyclists do not have the protections and safety features that are afforded to people in passenger vehicles, and they are at risk of being seriously injured if they are involved in a collision. When motorcycle accidents occur, motorcyclists will often struggle to be treated fairly, and they can face substantial challenges as they pursue compensation for their injuries.

Legal Issues Affecting Sherman Motorcycle Wrecks

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment, and they can lead to significant financial hardships for victims and their families. In many cases, other parties are responsible for causing motorcycle crashes due to negligence. Issues that affect liability in motorcycle accident cases may include:

• Driver negligence - Other drivers will often act unsafely around motorcycles, and they may commit traffic violations or act carelessly or recklessly, resulting in dangerous accidents. Common forms of negligence include failing to notice motorcycles, following motorcycles too closely, speeding, distracted driving, reckless driving, aggressive driving, or drunk driving. Drivers who fail to take reasonable care to protect the safety of motorcyclists may be held liable for actions that lead to collisions with motorcycles.
• Defective motorcycle parts - When motorcycle parts do not function correctly or break down while a motorcycle is in motion, a motorcyclist may lose control and be seriously injured. A motorcycle may have defective brakes, tires, or other parts, or equipment failures and accidents may occur because a mechanic did not install parts correctly.
• Defective roadway design - Some motorcycle wrecks may occur because a road or intersection was dangerous. For example, an intersection may have been designed in a way that blocks the view of drivers who are making turns, causing them to be unable to notice a motorcycle that is approaching and resulting in a collision after a driver turns into a motorcycle's path.
