Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Every motorcycle accident has its own circumstances and factors that contributed to it. Among the potential causes of accidents are poor weather conditions, dangerous roads, driver error, and defective equipment. The negligent wrongdoing of other motorists is responsible for up to 75% of incidents.

  • Changing lanes in an unsafe manner
  • Not yielding the right-of-way
  • Turns made in an improper direction
  • Tailgating
  • Rage on the road
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Failure to share the road

Do not forget that a motorcycle can cause an accident without colliding with a car. For example, a car driver could force a motorcycle to make an unsafe maneuver by cutting off the motorcycle. Top Harrisonburg VA motorcycle accident attorneys may be able to hold the driver responsible if this sequence of events can be proved.

How long do I have to contact a lawyer?

The State of Virginia gives victims of motorcycle accidents up to two years from the date of their accident to file a personal injury claim. While two years can feel like a long time, it's important that you reach out to an attorney sooner rather than later so they can help gather important evidence or documents that may impact your case. Photos from the scene of the accident and witness statements will need to be gathered prior to filing your claim. Contacting an attorney as soon as possible can make a difference in the success of your case.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims

Victims of motorcycle accidents rarely walk away from a motorcycle collision without injury. Much like bicycles, motorcycles are often involved in accidents because other drivers fail to watch carefully and share the road.

The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that up to 80% of motorcycle accidents result in an injury or fatality.

The results of such a collision can be catastrophic and may involve:

  • Brain injuries
  • Disfigurement
  • Chronic pain
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Amputation
  • Paralysis
  • Broken bones

You may have questions about compensation or recoverable damages when you consult with a motorcycle accident lawyer Harrisonburg VA drivers respect. In most cases, these will depend on the severity of the accident, among other factors. Examples of compensation include:

  • Medical bills from the past, present, and future
  • Wages lost due to inability to work
  • Suffering and pain
  • Death by wrongful means
  • Repairing or replacing a motorcycle

Serious injuries can create a significant financial burden for the victim. This is why the Harrisonburg motorcycle accident lawyers at our firm are committed to helping victims of preventable injuries recover full compensation for their pain, suffering, and loss. This includes compensation for medical expenses, ongoing medical care, lost wages, and non-economic damages.
