A motorcycle crash can be one of the most disastrous types of vehicle accidents. Because a motorcyclist has little protection, a biker has a drastically higher incident of serious injuries as a result of an accident. If you are a victim of a negligent driver while riding your motorcycle, your life can be turned upside down – injuries, finances, and stress are a result. It is imperative that you contact experienced motorcycle accident lawyers as soon as possible after an accident.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Wrecks

While motorcycle accidents can be caused by a number of reasons, odds are that there is one common denominator – a car. Based on statistics and our own experience with clients, it is safe to say that car or truck drivers commonly cause crashes with motorcycles. However, determining the cause of your motorcycle crash will require a thorough investigation. Common causes of motorcycle accidents that Tittle & Perlmuter has experience in handling include the following:

Motorcycle Crash Liability

Contrary to the themes in popular culture, which often unfairly stereotype motorcyclists as ‘risk-takers’, it is actually the operators of standard-sized automobiles who are more likely to be at fault for the multi-vehicle collisions that involve motorcycles. Indeed, according to the ‘Hurt Report’, a famous motorcycle accident causation study, drivers of full-sized cars are nearly three times more likely to be at fault for these types of accidents than are bikers. The reason for this is that drivers too often simply fail to notice motorcycles. They make unsafe maneuvers, not taking into account the presence of bikes.

How Do I Recover Damages for a Motorcycle Accident?

Negligent drivers must be held liable for their misconduct. Ohio is an ‘at fault’ motor vehicle accident state. As such, you must prove that your crash was caused by the improper conduct of another party in order to hold that party legally liable for your damages. In many cases, drivers will refuse to admit fault, or will try to cast aspersions on the victim. You need to consult with legal counsel, if fault is disputed in your case.

Notably, Ohio is a comparative negligence jurisdiction (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33). As a result, multiple parties can split the blame for one accident. In these cases, financial responsibility is divided in accordance to each driver’s level of fault. This could have very important implications for your motorcycle accident injury claim. If you get unfairly blamed for part or all of your crash, it could take thousands out of your settlement check, or even result in you losing the ability to file a viable claim at all.

Under Ohio state law, injured motorcyclists have a legal right to seek full and fair financial compensation from the at-fault party. Large insurance carriers defend an overwhelming majority of cases of motorcycle wreck injury claims. The opposing insurance company may decide to fight liability in your case, attempting to deny your claim outright.

What Compensation is Available to Injured Motorcyclists?

Even if the opposing insurer accepts liability, it does not mean it will be easy to get fair financial compensation. Insurance adjusters work aggressively to try to reduce the value of settlement offers. Our lawyers know all of the tricks the insurance companies use when trying to settle a motorcycle crash claim. We have the requisite skills and legal knowledge to help injured riders maximize their financial compensation. Our law firm may be able to help you obtain financial relief for:
