Why Do Motorcycle Accidents Happen?

Even though motorcycles share the same inherent risks that passenger and commercial vehicle operation has, not all forms of transportation have dangers exclusive to them as motorcycle riding does. Listed below are all common causes of a motorcycle accident.

Should any of them seem familiar to your particular circumstances, do not hesitate to contact us at (843) 800-8663 today:

• Size and Height – Motorcycles are hard to see because they have a smaller visual outline when compared to passenger and commercial vehicles. Because of their size and height, seeing them in a blind spot or behind several cars in an intersection can be quite difficult, creating a significant hazard for motorcyclists.
• Potholes and Other Obstacles – A passenger or commercial vehicle can navigate through potholes, oil slicks, and debris on the road with relative ease, but all of those factors can cause a devastating motorcycle accident. Normally, these fall under the responsibility of the local municipality to fix. Not doing so leaves roads in a poor condition and a municipality liable for your motorcycle accident.
• Balance – Higher speeds can cause a motorcycle to become unstable. Sometimes, however, it isn’t always the contributing factor. An issue with the wheel alignment can be the root cause of a motorcycle accident, prompting legal action against the manufacturer.
• The Manufacturer – Compromised or defective wheels, tires, brakes, or steering can fail at a moment’s notice, causing a gruesome accident if the motorcyclist is traveling at high speeds. It is the duty of the manufacturer to ensure that the product they are creating and distributing is in an optimal working condition.
• Other Drivers – While this is a shared danger among all forms of transportation, it is a more severe risk for motorcyclists. Passenger car drivers that operate their car in a negligent manner—e.g. aggressive driving, drunk driving, distracted driving, and speeding to name a few—can cause an accident that leaves a motorcyclist with debilitating injures, or worse.

Motorcycle accidents can prompt other claims like personal injury, product liability, and property rights, so getting together with an experienced motorcycle accident firm like Lowcountry Law is your best option in order to explore what kind of claims you can file and what kinds of monetary compensation you qualify for. Of course, this all depends on the types of damages you incur financially, physically, and mentally.

What Kind of Injuries are Caused by a Motorcycle Accident?

Throughout our years in practice, we have seen it all in terms of injuries sustained by our clients. Many have suffered from injuries such as:

• Cuts and Lacerations
• Friction Burns and/or Other Types of Burns
• Scarring
• Neck and Back Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Fractures
• Amputations
• Traumatic Brain Injury

As stated earlier, since motorcycles offer little to no protection, death becomes more of a frequent possibility resulting from a motorcycle accident. Due to this circumstance, surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim if negligence played a part in their loved one’s death, whether it be from the manufacturer of the motorcycle or a distracted driver.

What Kind of Compensation is Awarded in a Motorcycle Claim?

The last thing you need to worry about is how you are going to afford getting treatment for your injuries, funeral costs that come with burying a loved one, or repair costs incurred because your motorcycle was totaled. The period after your motorcycle accident should be spent recuperating.

Lowcountry Law has also made a name for itself in how we handle our clients cases. We excel at retrieving full monetary compensation for our clients such as:

1. Past and Future Medical Expenses
2. Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity
3. Pain and Suffering
4. Permanent Disfigurement
5. Physical Impairment

We don’t just stop there, however. Lowcountry Law can seek out further options toward compensation that may include punitive damages. These damages are meant to punish and deter those who acted in a negligent, malicious, or fraudulent manner, ultimately causing your injury or loss.
