Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Greenville
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
Speeding
Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to react to the environment around them. They may not be able to stop for a motorcyclist that has the right of way. A collision may be more severe if it occurs at a higher speed.
Right of way violations
A driver may change lanes only when it’s safe to do so. If a driver doesn’t carefully check for motorcycles, they may cause a collision when changing lanes. In addition, a driver who turns in front of a motorcyclist in an intersection may cause a crash.
Road hazards and dangers
Potholes, debris, and poorly designed roads can be especially hazardous to motorcyclists. These dangerous conditions may cause or contribute to an accident, and they may be the basis for compensation.
Poor treatment of motorcyclists
Some drivers just don’t respect the rights of motorcyclists to be on the road. Intentionally cutting off a motorcycle or opening a door to cause a collision is serious misconduct. You have a right to travel on the roads. Other drivers must exercise reasonable care.
Mechanical defects
A mechanical problem can make a vehicle behave in an unpredictable way. As your lawyer, we can investigate whether a mechanical defect was a factor in the crash.
Drunk driving, distracted driving
Motorcyclists can be victims of drunk driving and distracted driving. These preventable causes of a motorcycle collision may be the basis of compensation.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
The purpose of a motorcycle accident lawsuit is for the victim to receive fair compensation. It is also the process for those who caused the accident to be held accountable.
There are some types of injuries that are especially common or unique to motorcyclists. Common motorcycle accident injuries may include:
- Traumatic brain injury, concussion
- Road rash, burns
- Broken bones
- Paralysis, impaired sensations
- Nervous system damage
- Amputation
- Facial injury, disfigurement
- Soft tissue damage, whiplash
- Organ damage, internal injury
When we represent you, we thoroughly investigate your injuries and damages. We claim future damages and pain and suffering for how your injuries have impacted your life.
Liability for a Motorcycle Accident in South Carolina
Compensation for a motorcycle accident is based on fault. If someone else causes an accident and a motorcyclist gets hurt, the responsible party is liable to pay compensation. Either a motorcycle operator or their passenger may deserve compensation.
The actions of each party are evaluated for negligence. Negligence is a legal word that means a lack of reasonable care. If you’re hurt because another driver turned in front of you or cut you off, for example, that’s strong proof of negligence. There may be situations where someone other than a driver may be liable for an accident.
To prove your case, we identify the defendant’s negligence, how it caused the accident, and your damages. As your Greenville motorcycle accident lawyer, we evaluate the case for questions or issues that may be especially important in maximizing your compensation.
