Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are powerful motor vehicles, but they can also be vulnerable to accidents.
Often other motorists are not aware of motorcycles on the road until it is too late. Other times, either a motorist miscalculates the speed at which a motorcyclist is driving or unsatisfactory driving conditions can send a motorcyclist careening out of control and into disaster.
In our more than 15 years representing personal injury cases, we have seen a wide range of motorcycle accidents. We are prepared to represent victims in any type of motorcycle accident, including those caused by:
- Motorists failing to yield the right of way
- Driving while intoxicated
- Road rage
- Poor road conditions
- Road construction
- Inadequate road lighting
- Inclement weather
- Unsafe lane changes
- Following too closely
- Roadway debris
- Driving while distracted
- Motorists’ failure to see the motorcycle
- Illegal turns

Identifying the Party Who Caused Your Accident
The first critical step we take in building your case is to conduct a thorough investigation of your motorcycle accident. We know where and how to probe for evidence that will serve as a solid foundation for your case moving forward.
Toward this end, we will:
- Go to the scene of your accident to scout for evidence and document the scene
- Interview eyewitnesses
- Assemble photos and videos into a visual account of what transpired
- Obtain the police accident report
- Gather all your accident-related medical records
- Request wage statements from your employer
- Work with accident reconstruction specialists to piece together the sequence of events surrounding your collision
With this bedrock of evidence, we will identify the at-fault party and can move forward to establish negligence.
Establishing Negligence to Satisfy Legal Requirements
The law requires that we not only identify the party who caused your motorcycle accident but also prove that they did so out of negligence. A specific set of criteria must be met in order to establish negligence and, therefore, liability.
Our legal team knows the steps to take to fulfill these legal requirements, namely proving the following statements to be true:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care to act in a way that keeps you from harm or injury
- The defendant breached this duty of care
- The defendant’s breach of duty caused your motorcycle accident
- The motorcycle accident caused you to sustain injuries—physical, emotional, and financial
Having met the letter of the law to get our feet in the door for settlement negotiations, we embark on the process of calculating your damages.
Determining Your Recoverable Damages
The damages you can recover go far beyond the bill for your emergency room visit. Our legal team knows how wide of a net we can cast when gathering up all the ways in which your injuries have affected you.
Types of damages you may be able to recover include:
- Ambulance transportation
- Hospitalization
- Doctors’ and surgeons’ fees
- Prescription medicine
- Physical therapy/rehab
- Home modifications
- Replacement services
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
If a loved one died as the result of the injuries they suffered in a motorcycle accident, you are entitled to pursue a wrongful death action. Our attorneys are able and willing to represent you in this fight for justice.
