Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are distinct from other vehicular accidents due to several factors. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to road conditions and weather, as they lack the protective enclosure that cars provide. At the same time, motorcycles are less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of collisions. These accidents can occur due to various reasons, including but not limited to speeding, lane splitting, inattentive driving, DUI, and mechanical failures.
The injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents tend to be more severe than those in car accidents. Common injuries include road rash, fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and in severe cases, fatalities.
In California and Illinois, motorcycle accident claims fall under the purview of personal injury law, governed by the principles of negligence. To establish a claim, it is essential to prove that the other party was negligent and that this negligence caused the accident and resulting injuries. These states’s comparative negligence rule regulates that compensation can be reduced if the injured party is found partly at fault.
