Liability In Riverside Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are more likely to be killed or seriously injured in car accidents than those in passenger vehicles. According to the Insurance Information Institute, “Operating a motorcycle requires a different combination of physical and mental skills than those used in driving four-wheel vehicles. Motorcyclists and their passengers are more vulnerable to the hazards of weather and road conditions than drivers in closed vehicles.” There are a number of steps that should be taken after any motorcycle collision.
- Eye witnesses should be interviewed.
- Medical records should be preserved.
- Surveillance footage should be sought.
All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid colliding with motorcyclists and other vehicles. Any person that is injured in a motorcycle accident may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. Damages can help cover lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering. A motorcycle accident attorney can examine all of the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
