Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Attorneys

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident and have sustained injuries, you may be able to file a lawsuit for damages or monetary compensation to help pay your expenses for medical care or any property damage that result from the accident in question. However, the liability issues surrounding motorcycle accidents are subject to factors that are specific to motorcycles; in other words, due to the fact motorcycles are smaller and lighter than other vehicles and have an exposed rider, they are considered to be more of a risk on the highway than cars.

So, it should come as no surprise that accidents involving motorcycles result in more serious injuries than automobile accidents. In fact, statistics have shown that motorcycle riders have a much greater risk of being in a collision when compared to drivers of cars – almost 5 times greater!

Liability or determining who is at fault in a motorcycle accident becomes an issue of negligence. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff (or victim) to prove negligence on the part of the defendant which is usually the driver of another vehicle. This can be real issue when it comes to determining who was negligent – was it the driver of the other vehicle, the motorcyclist, or both? Because liability in motorcycle accident cases may be complicated, it’s in your best interest to get legal representation from a personal injury attorney with expertise in litigating these types of claims.
