Leading Causes of Motorcycle-Related Traffic Collisions

How a motorcycle accident occurs can significantly vary with so many different types of vehicles and motorists out on the roadways. Some of the more prominent causes of traffic collisions involving motorcyclists include:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted or inattentive driving
  • Low visibility (e.g., driving at night)
  • Failure to yield or stop properly
  • Inclement weather or road conditions
  • Operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Vehicle manufacturing defects

In any case, no matter how a motorcycle-related crash occurs, if another party’s negligence causes the accident, the at-fault party may be held accountable for any damages sustained by those suffering from accidental injuries. If a party is injured in a motorcycle accident and seeks to recover damages from the negligent party responsible, they are strongly encouraged to obtain legal representation in Birmingham before doing so to ensure the claimant seeks monetary damages from the appropriate parties.

Determining Liability in Birmingham Motorcycle Collisions

In personal injury cases, the percentage of fault assessed to each of the parties involved in a civil injury claim can drastically impact the claimant’s compensation. This is particularly true in Alabama due to the state’s contributory negligence law.

Under the law, a claimant can recover damages for their accidental injuries so long as they are not in any way responsible for sustaining their injuries. However, if the jury finds that the claimant in a civil injury lawsuit is even one percent at fault for sustaining their injuries, the court will bar them from recovering damages entirely. Since the law applies even to those suffering from severe accidental injuries for which they are very minimally at fault for causing, it is critical for those seeking to recover damages for their injuries and injury-related losses to retain a skilled civil litigator’s services.
