We Understand When The Car Driver Is At Fault!
There are many motorcycle accident causes. Often, an automobile driver's negligence turns out to be a big factor. The driver of the car will say he did not see the motorcyclist. Two-thirds of all motorcycle accidents involve a driver turning into a lane - and into the motorcycle rider's right of way. Motorcyclists are 27 times more likely to die in an accident than people in other motor vehicles and five times more likely to be injured.
If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident, don't hesitate to call an experienced attorney. Your rights are important. A South Carolina motorcycle accident lawyer at Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. can help you with your legal options. At Peake & Fowler, our attorneys closely look at the facts in your case. We study the police report, analyze insurance coverage, collect evidence and interview witnesses. Our investigation often includes a visit to the accident scene to determine the road condition and find out if there are any road hazards that contributed to the crash.
Common Motorcycle Accident Causes
The following are some common motorcycle accident causes. If your motorcycle accident was a result of any of these causes, or a cause not listed below, get in touch with a motorcycle crash attorney as soon as possible. We know how to fight for your rights. Common motorcycle accident causes include:
- Automobile or truck driver moving into a motorcyclist's right of way
- Automobile driver negligence: The other driver may be distracted (possibly texting while driving, talking on a cell phone, or operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol).
- Speeding or reckless driving: Another driver who is speeding or driving recklessly may cause a motorcycle accident. Additionally, motorcycle riders need to operate responsibly and safely and observe posted speed limits to reduce the risk of accidents.
- Road defects: Bumps, gashes, potholes, debris, loose gravel and other defects in the South Carolina roads may contribute to an accident. Keep an eye on the road surface (as well as traffic) and try to avoid potholes or uneven surfaces. Pick an alternative route if the road seems too risky to ride on.
- Motorcycle defects: A motorcycle, like any machine, requires maintenance. Make sure the lights and other parts of your motorcycle are in good, working condition. Periodically, check the tires and engine.
