What are the common causes of motorcycle accident injuries?
Motorcycle accident injuries can happen for a variety of reasons, though they are most commonly a result of negligence on the road. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents are as follows:
- Tailing motorcyclists too closely
- Unsafe lane changes
- Speeding
- Driving while intoxicated
- Dooring accidents
- Driving while fatigued
- Poor lighting
- Negligent signage
What should I do if I was injured in a motorcycle accident?
If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident, it’s paramount that you do everything in your power to document the incident and gather evidence to prove that you were hurt due to the negligence of another. Gathering evidence can maximize your chances of recovering compensation in a future personal injury claim. Just some of the most valuable types of evidence when it comes to personal injury claims are as follows:
- Witness testimony
- Pictures of the accident and any damage caused by the accident
- A copy of the police report filed at the scene
- Surveillance footage of the accident as it happened
- Medical documentation describing the injuries you’ve sustained
You should also ensure that you retain competent legal representation after your accident. To win a personal injury claim of any kind, you will need to prove that you were hurt as a direct result of someone else’s negligence. Our legal team can work to gather and present evidence on your behalf to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim.
