What Causes Motorcycle Accidnets In Lincoln?
Motorcycle accidents can occur in a number of settings and be attributed to a number of different causes:
- Rod defects
- Construction and road repair
- Driver error
- Rider error
- Product defects
Let’s take a more detailed look at those causes.
Road Defects And Your Lincoln Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit
Unsafe conditions on public roads are particularly dangerous to motorcycle riders. Insidious defects in the road, such as uneven pavement or defective joint sealant, may go unnoticed by larger vehicles but may be serious enough to cause a motorcycle rider to lose control of the bike. Similarly, debris on the road may not pose a hazard to a car or truck, yet it may send a motorcycle off the road or into a skid. The debris need not be large or avoidable; sand or silt was blown onto the roadway from a nearby construction zone can drastically alter the road conditions, making it unsafe even at normal highway speeds.
Construction/Road Repair And Your Motorcycle Lawsuit In Lincoln
Road repair or construction zones may redirect traffic onto the shoulder, often littered with dangerous debris, providing hazardous obstacles or dangerously altering the road surface for a motorcycle.
Driver Error Is A Common Cause Of Motorcycle Accidents In Lincoln
Many automobile drivers do not appreciate that they share the road with much smaller, less visible, and more vulnerable vehicles. A distracted driver may not see a motorcycle until it is too late to avoid a collision. Other drivers do not respect motorcycles and will drive recklessly or heedlessly in their presence, causing bikers to veer off the road to avoid an accident.
Rider Error And How It Applies To Your Motorcycle Lawsuit In Lincoln
Riders themselves are expected to know and obey all the same road rules that apply to drivers of automobiles, including driving in accordance with the given road conditions and understanding the limitations and handling of the vehicle they are operating. Even if the rider’s own negligence contributed to the accident, the rider might still recover from another party for that negligent defendant’s comparative negligence, which caused the accident to occur.
Product Defects
Even where the accident is attributed to rider error, the possibility of a defect in the motorcycle, from a tire failure to a faulty design, should not be overlooked. Our firm’s experience in products liability cases teaches us to always investigate the equipment itself whenever a product failure could have caused or contributed to the accident.
