Studies Show Motorcyclists Are at an Increased Risk of Severe Injuries
Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report motorcyclists are overrepresented in road traffic fatalities. Motorcycles do not have the same protections as other vehicles, so riders are more prone to severe injuries when involved in a collision. Injuries from a motor cycle crash can be permanently disabling.
Some injuries you may be recovering from include:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Damage to your spine
- Road rash
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Dismemberment
- Disfigurement
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
The aftermath of a motorcycle accident can disrupt your life, put your plans on hold, and cause significant financial pressures due to the injuries sustained. A New York motorcycle accident lawyer can address these concerns by pursuing compensation from the party responsible for your losses.
Liability in a Motorcycle Accident
Determining liability for your injuries will rest on the unique details of your situation, most notably how the crash occurred.
Some responsible parties in your case could include:
Another Motorist
If a careless or reckless driver struck your motorcycle, your legal team could pursue compensation from the motorist and their insurance company. Our team can review the available evidence to prove how the motorist’s negligence contributed to your accident.
If a negligent driver struck you, our legal team can pursue compensation from the driver or their insurance company. Your lawyer can review evidence to prove how the other motorist’s negligence caused your motorcycle accident. In addition to other motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicycle riders can also contribute to your crash.
If you believe another person caused your injuries, our attorneys can review your case to establish who is responsible for compensating you for your damages.
Road Maintenance or Repair
Roadways must be reasonably safe for everyone who uses them including motorcyclists. If a municipal entity or private contractor performs a negligent repair in the road causing a pothole, trench or other unsafe condition in the roadway, they could be held financially liable for your damages.
The Motorcycle’s Manufacturer
Every motorcycle on today’s roads must be built with safety in mind. If a defective component prevented you from riding safely and contributed to an accident, you may be able to hold the party that built the bike responsible.
The Motorcycle’s Repair Shop
If your accident was the result of negligent repairs at your local repair shop, including poor brake or steering repairs, you may be able to hold the party that last repaired your bike responsible.
The Motorcycle’s Designer
Every product in today’s market needs to be safe for use. They need to undergo extensive testing to make sure that there is no potential for harm. If the design of your motorcycle was inherently flawed and you did nothing to modify it, you could hold this party accountable for your losses.
Contributing Factors in a New York Motorcycle Accident
Most, if not all, motorcycle accidents are preventable. Often motorcycle accidents are the result of the other driver failing to drive safely or observe your motorcycle on the roadway.
Some of the most common contributing factors include:
- Distracted, fatigued, or impaired driving
- Failing to observe posted traffic signals or guidelines
- Failing to signal before merging
- Speeding
- Engaging in road rage
- Not checking intersections for clearance before turning
- Opening doors into the path of oncoming riders
- Failing to see motorcyclists
- Road defects such as potholes
To prove liability, a New York motorcycle accident lawyer will investigate the accident, gather evidence, and examine police reports, video footage, and witness statements. They will also consult with medical professionals and accident reconstruction specialists to learn more about how the evidence in your case can support your claims.
There are deadlines that limit your time to file a claim. If you fail to bring your claim within that deadline you may be forever prevented from receiving the financial compensation to which you are entitled.
