When there is a motorcycle accident, the police and the driver of the other vehicle often blame the motorcyclist, but it is often not the biker who is at fault. It’s the job of the personal injury lawyer to investigate the accident in order to prove fault. There are a number of things car and truck drivers do that endanger motorcyclists:
- Cars swerve into the motorcycle's lane, failing to check their blind spots
- Oncoming cars make sudden left-hand turns in front of motorcycles, causing the motorcyclist either to stop suddenly and lose control of the cycle or to collide with the car
- Car and truck drivers fail to obey red lights or stop signs
- Drivers tailgate motorcycles without understanding how much faster cycles can stop than cars, then run over bikers when their cars fail to stop in time
The fact that these behaviors are common does not mean they are acceptable. Motorcyclists have the same rights as other drivers on the road — and the drivers of other vehicles are required to honor those rights and to pay attention to the other vehicles around them.
Our New York personal injury lawyers investigate every motorcycle accident case thoroughly. We carefully review the police report. We interview witnesses. We may work with an accident reconstruction expert to prepare materials for trial that demonstrate our client was not at fault and should be fairly compensated.
