Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Any accident involving your motorcycle can cause chaos and confusion during and after the crash, especially if you suffered an injury. If you sustained one or more severe injuries in a multi-vehicle accident, there may be more than one driver who can be held responsible for paying your medical bills and other injury costs. A motorcycle accident lawyer can help you determine who should be held accountable for paying you the compensation you deserve.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents
Depending on how your state’s laws will affect your case, the various drivers who contributed to causing your accident may be held liable to the extent of their involvement. For example, if one person caused 50% of your damages, they might be held responsible for paying half of your damages, while another person who caused 10% of your damages would have to reimburse you for that amount. This may sound straightforward, and indeed it can be, but assessing and proving the percent of culpability of each driver can be challenging as well as contentious. With the help of an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm, this process can be simplified. A legal team has the necessary skills to determine who should be held liable for a client’s damages and to what extent. Those who are liable may deny their responsibility, or their insurance company may refuse to pay you a fair settlement. In these cases, an attorney will fight aggressively on behalf of their clients to get them the compensation they deserve.
Common Multi-Vehicle Accident Scenarios Involving Motorcycles
Because a motorcycle rider has a low profile as compared to a full-sized passenger vehicle or truck, they are not always visible to motorists who are not paying full attention to the road. This is not the biker’s fault. In multi-vehicle accidents, the problem is compounded, especially as the drivers in an accident may have lost control of their vehicle. Even if they saw you on your bike they may not have been able to avoid hitting you at that point. Whether or not the below scenarios describe what happened to you, contact our motorcycle accident lawyer to learn how we can help you.
- As a motorcyclist passes through an intersection, a vehicle coming from the opposite direction turns left into the path of the biker and T-bones or sideswipes the motorcycle. A vehicle that was following too closely behind the biker is unable to stop and strikes the motorcycle and the other vehicle.
- A motorcyclist is stopped at a red light. A vehicle whose driver is not paying attention rear ends the biker, pushing the motorcycle into the intersection. A vehicle that has the green light and is passing through the intersection is not able to stop in time and strikes the motorcycle.
- A truck has an open and unsecured load and is travelling ahead of the motorcycle. An object falls from the truck, striking the motorcyclist or causes the biker to swerve unexpectedly. Another vehicle travelling near or behind the motorcyclist strikes the motorcycle.
If you were injured by one or more negligent drivers, contact a law firm without delay. A motorcycle accident lawyer will meet with you during a no-cost initial consultation to determine how they can assist you get the compensation you deserve.
