Trust a skilled attorney to prove fault in your motorcycle accident case.

Proving Fault in Motorcycle Accident Cases

In California and Arizona, we are lucky to enjoy beautiful weather throughout the year.  It is not uncommon to see motorcyclists riding every season of the year, on parkways, highways and through the streets of cities and towns.  While there is nothing quite like the thrill of driving a motorcycle, there are unique dangers facing bikers that other motorists do not share.

Motorcyclists typically have to take more precautions to stay safe on the road.  If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you will need the help of a skilled motorcycle accident attorney to prove that you were not at fault for the accident — and that you deserve compensation for your injuries and losses.

Who Is At Fault?

Proving liability in motorcycle cases can be challenging, particularly given that many people have prejudices against people who ride motorcycles.  The key to your case will be successfully demonstrating that the other driver caused the crash.

Drivers may be quick to assign blame to any motorcyclist involved in an accident.  But in reality, bikers are often better trained and more aware of their surroundings than other motorists.  A driver may change lanes without looking out for motorcyclists, or stop suddenly without paying attention to motorcycles that may be around them.  If a driver fails to signal a turn, he could cause a serious crash with a motorcycle.

In other cases, the condition of the road may be at fault for an accident involving a motorcycle.  Potholes, loose gravel, sharp turns in the road and poor signage could all lead to an accident.  In many cases, the government or other entity responsible for maintaining the road could be held liable for the accident.  A defective part or a manufacturing error could also be to blame for a crash.

Because the burden is on the victim in a motorcycle crash to prove fault, it can be challenging for a cyclist involved in an accident to get the compensation that he or she deserves for his damages or losses.  That is why it is so important to have an skilled attorney with specific experience in motorcycle accidents to represent you.
