Motorcycle accidents can happen for many reasons and while many accidents happen as a result of other drivers, it is true that motorcycle riders should be especially careful to follow the same rules of the road. This means no tailgating other vehicles, no drinking and driving, and no driving distracted. However, even when motorcycle riders follow all the rules of the road and wear appropriate safety gear, another distracted driver could come along and injure a motorcycle rider regardless of the rider’s vigilance and propensity to follow the law. When you ride a motorcycle, it is important to understand where you are most likely to get hurt and be prepared for what your next steps are.
As a trusted attorney, such as a motorcycle accident attorney from Glotzer & Leib, LLP understands, there are certain factors that lead to motorcycle accidents more than others. The top ways motorcycle riders get into accidents are:
Many motorcyclists are made to feel that an accident is their fault, even if they were clearly not liable for it. Insurance agents are all-too-quick to point the finger at motorcycle riders, saying that they were not riding responsibly or that motorcycle riders are naturally more inclined to be reckless on the road. Neither of these things is true and it may take a seasoned lawyer to help you out when you need to file a claim and fight against the insurance company. When you are ready to speak with a lawyer about your accident and file a claim, reach out to a trusted law office you can rely on.
