Collisions caused by a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Partner law firms can pursue maximum compensation, including potential punitive damages, from drunk drivers.
This is one of the most frequent and dangerous scenarios for riders. It happens when a car, attempting to make a left turn at an intersection, fails to see or misjudges the speed of an oncoming motorcycle and cuts directly into its path. A left-turn collision attorney can use witness testimony and traffic camera footage to establish the driver violated your right-of-way and secure the compensation you need.
Motorcycles are smaller and can easily disappear into a car or truck’s blind spot. These accidents occur when a driver changes lanes without properly looking, forcing a rider off the road or into another vehicle. Because drivers often claim they 'never saw' the motorcycle, a skilled attorney is crucial to prove the driver’s failure to operate their vehicle safely was the cause of the crash.
When a car strikes a motorcycle from behind, the rider is completely exposed and often thrown from the bike, leading to severe injuries like road rash, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries. These are almost always caused by distracted driving or following too closely. A rear-end collision lawyer can help you prove the other driver's negligence and fight for compensation for your extensive losses.
A 'dooring' accident occurs when a person in a parked vehicle suddenly opens their door into the path of an approaching motorcyclist, giving the rider no time to react. This can cause the rider to crash into the door or swerve into traffic. An attorney can help hold the negligent person who opened the door responsible for your injuries.
Unlike cars, motorcycles are highly susceptible to poor road conditions. Loose gravel, potholes, oil slicks, unmarked bumps, or construction debris can cause a rider to lose control and crash. In these cases, a government agency or contractor may be liable for failing to maintain safe roads. A motorcycle accident attorney can investigate and determine if a third party is responsible for the hazardous condition.
In states where it's legal, lane splitting (riding between lanes of slow or stopped traffic) can lead to accidents if a driver is not paying attention and suddenly changes lanes. Even where legal, insurance companies often try to blame the rider. A lawyer experienced in lane splitting laws can protect your rights and fight back against unfair claims of fault.
