Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries and life-altering consequences. Unlike car occupants, motorcyclists have minimal protection, making them vulnerable to severe injuries in the event of a crash. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, Kearney Law, led by Brittany Kearney, Esq., is here to help you fight for justice and compensation.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can occur for various reasons, including:
- Distracted Driving – Drivers who text, talk on the phone, or engage in other distractions can easily overlook motorcyclists.
- Failure to Yield – Many accidents happen when drivers fail to give the right of way to motorcyclists at intersections or lane merges.
- Speeding – Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
- Driving Under the Influence – Impaired drivers pose a significant threat to motorcyclists.
- Road Hazards – Potholes, uneven pavement, and debris can cause motorcyclists to lose control.
- Lane Splitting – While legal in some states, lane splitting can lead to accidents if drivers fail to notice motorcycles moving between lanes.
- Defective Motorcycle Parts – Mechanical failures caused by manufacturing defects can lead to serious crashes.
At Kearney Law, we conduct thorough investigations to identify the cause of the accident and determine liability.
Who is Liable in a Motorcycle Accident?
Determining fault in a motorcycle accident can be complex and may involve multiple parties, including:
- Negligent Drivers – Motorists who fail to follow traffic laws or drive recklessly may be held accountable.
- Government Entities – If poor road conditions or lack of proper signage contributed to the accident, local or state governments could be responsible.
- Motorcycle Manufacturers – If a defect in the motorcycle caused the crash, the manufacturer could be held liable.
- Commercial Trucking Companies – If a truck was involved in the accident, the trucking company and their insurers may be responsible.
Kearney Law works diligently to identify responsible parties and build a strong case on your behalf.
