Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Our legal team at Roman & Gaynor can help you with a wide variety of motorcycle accident cases, from issues involving driver intoxication to road hazards. We understand that motorcyclists are more vulnerable than drivers of commercial trucks or passenger vehicle, and in the event of a crash between the two, the motorcyclist is more likely to suffer serious injuries. For that reason, our firm is committed to helping injured motorcyclists seek justice and compensation from the liable party.
We can help with motorcycle accidents caused by the following common issues:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Hazardous lane changes
- Careless left turns
- Hazardous road conditions
Who Could Be Held Liable for a Motorcycle Accident?
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, one of the first things you need to do, after seeking medical attention and contacting an attorney, is determining who could be liable for your injuries. Motorcycle accidents can be expensive, and if your crash was caused by someone else’s negligence, they should be responsible for the damage they caused, not you.
The liable party is typically the other driver, but liability might also fall elsewhere. If road hazards caused your crash, the city or road owner could be liable, or if the crash involved a truck, the trucking company could be liable. To determine liability, the best thing you can do is work with a knowledgeable attorney.

Watch Out for Unfair Insurance Practices
In addition to facing a difficult physical recovery, many injured riders
also experience added legal hardship from insurance companies who attempt
to pay riders as little as possible. These insurance corporations utilize
extensive resources and legal teams to divert liability away from their
drivers and avoid paying large a settlement to the victim.
They will often capitalize on the negative stereotypes associated with riders, including unsafe speeds and lane splitting, in an attempt to place or shift the blame on riders for causing an accident. With aggressive and highly experienced attorneys on your side, you can substantially reduce your risk of being unfairly compensated.
