IF YOU'VE BEEN INJURED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT. LET US HELP.
While Huntington sees its fair share of cold weather days, show, and rain, there are a number of days throughout the year when there are perfect conditions for riding a motorcycle. And even on those not-so-nice days, motorcycling may be a great–and fun–way to commute from place to place. But riding a motorcycle comes with certain risks. At the Delventhal Law Office, our Huntington motorcycle accident lawyers can help if you’ve been in a crash. Call today to learn more about your rights and options.
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.

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.
