Getting the Legal Perspective on Motorcycle Accidents – Audio Interview
In this podcast episode of Ask The Hammer, Darryl Isaacs and three other attorneys from Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers (all bikers) review how motorcycle accident lawsuits work in this podcast episode. Listen below.
The Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are a blessing to humanity. People find it easier and faster to move around, especially in congested areas. If you take a closer look, there are more motorcyclists on our roads today than in the recent past. Motorcycles are also more prone to accidents.
Most of these accidents are avoidable if only people obey the road rules. Careless driving is one of the main contributors to motorcycle accidents. Often, negligent drivers do not see motorcyclists on the road since they are speeding or committing other traffic violations. The result is these drivers end up knocking down or crashing into motorcyclists.
At times, accidents occur because of reasons beyond road users’ control. A crash can occur because of a faulty manufacturer’s component in the motorcycle. An accident can also happen because the state did a poor job of designing and constructing a road. Whatever the cause of your accident, a Marion motorcycle accident lawyer can advise you to file claims.
Our Accident Law Firm Will Get Started on Your Case Immediately By:
- Listening to your story
- Answering your questions
- Advising you what to do next
- Investigating the accident scene and all other evidence related to your claim
- Reviewing medical records, police reports, and all documents
- Determining which parties are liable for your injury
- Meeting with insurance adjusters
- Helping you file your claim
- Demanding a just settlement for all of your medical treatment and damages
Injuries You Can Sustain in a Motorcycle Accident
The possibility of sustaining grave injuries in a motorcycle accident is higher than in a car accident. Cars have safety features such as safety belts and airbags. Their hard exterior might also protect the occupants from injuries during an accident. On the other hand, motorcyclists can only rely on the protective gear that they wear before operating the motorcycle.
The injuries that you can sustain in a motorcycle accident can depend on the severity of the crash. These injuries include:
- Head injuries such as a traumatic brain injury
- Road rash, that is, the bruises and cuts from the crash
- Broken ribs and other bone fractures
- Paralysis in case you sustain injuries on the spinal cord
- Whiplash and nerve damage
A motorcycle accident may also subject you to deep emotional distress. The crash may make you experience psychological trauma as well. It would be best if you went for a medical evaluation after the accident to determine the full extent of the injuries.
Visit a doctor within a reasonable period after the accident, even if you are not exhibiting visible signs of injuries. Seeing a doctor can boost the chances of recovering damages.

The Types of Claims in a Motorcycle Accident
It is important to find the root cause of the accident before filing a claim. There are three types of claims that you can pursue depending on what caused the accident. If the accident resulted from negligence from another driver, file a negligence claim. You must prove that the suspect’s actions that led to the accident constituted negligence for this claim to succeed.
The second type of claim resulting from a motorcycle accident is the product liability claim. File this type of claim if design defects in the motorcycle were responsible for your accident. The law can hold the manufacturer of the motorcycle accountable for the accident. You must prove that the manufacturer should have had reasonable knowledge of the fault in their product before selling it to you to recover damages.
The last claim that may arise out of the accident is a claim against the government. The local government is responsible for constructing good quality roads from the taxes that you pay. If the government decides to construct roads that pose dangers to the users, it is subject to liability.
The Statute of Limitations
Some laws limit the duration of filing a lawsuit. These are the statutes of limitations. The court may not hear your case if you bring it after the deadline set by these statutes. The statute of limitation for motorcycle accident cases varies depending on the defendant.
The Recoverable Damages
The extent of your injuries plays an integral role in deciding the compensation that the at-fault party should pay you. Therefore, it is wise to record all the losses you suffered because of the accident. Upon the consideration of your case, you may recover:
- The current and future medical costs for the injuries
- Lost wages and future potential earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Compensation for wrongful death claim
