CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Most motorcycle accidents are the result of human error and are preventable as such. Examples of causes of motorcycle crashes include:

• Drunk driving
• Fatigued driving
• Distracted driving
• Failing to look/double-check blind spots before changing lanes
• Speeding
• Aggressive driving

The above behaviors can be engaged in by the driver of a standard motor vehicle, or the motorcyclist. In addition to driver/operator errors, vehicle defects, dangerous road conditions, and poor weather can also cause or contribute to motorcycle crashes.

INJURIES FROM MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Motorcycle accidents can result in tragic injuries; these crashes are often fatal and leave victims with long-term disabilities when they’re not. Types of common injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents in Huntington include, but are not limited to, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, internal injuries, soft tissue injuries, facial injuries, road rash injuries, crushed limb injuries, and more. Psychological injuries are also common.

YOUR RIGHTS AFTER A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDET IN HUNTINGTON

After a motorcycle crash in Huntington, you have certain rights and options. If you believe that your motorcycle crash–and therefore your injuries and losses–were caused by the actions of another party, you maintain the right to bring forth a claim for damages against that party’s liability insurance coverage. You can seek compensation for the full value of your losses, including compensation for your medical expenses, property damage costs, lost wages, and pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Similarly, if you are the loved one of a person who has been severely injured or killed in a crash, you can bring forth a claim on your loved one’s behalf. If your loved one has suffered fatal injuries, you can file a wrongful death claim for damages against the at-fault party.

Throughout the process, you have the right to reject a settlement offer that doesn’t fully compensate you, negotiate for a fair settlement, and work with an attorney. By doing the latter, you improve your chances of recovering a fair settlement. Your attorney will be responsible for investigating your case, calculating your damages, determining liability, negotiating your settlement, and more.
