According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle accidents make up more than 13 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States. While several factors can play a role in fatal motorcycle accidents, some form of driver error is often linked to a car-versus-motorcycle collision.
If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or recklessness of the other driver, you may be entitled to compensation for the wrongful death of your loved one.
Motorcycles are lighter than other vehicles on the road. In a collision with another car or truck, a motorcycle offers hardly any protection to riders and motorcyclists who often suffer fatal injuries. In many cases, another vehicle crashes into a motorcycle due to the other driver being intoxicated, speeding, running a red light, violating traffic laws, or driver inexperience.
A deadly motorcycle accident may also be the result of some part or equipment malfunctioning such as brake failure for which the motorcycle manufacturer may be liable.
Dangerous or unsafe road conditions can also lead to fatal motorcycle accidents. These include insufficient nighttime lighting, defective road design, and malfunctioning signals at intersections.
