Motorists who choose to drive regular automobiles often tend to believe they have more rights when it comes to the rules of the road than motorcyclists do.  This is simply not the case; there are many negligent motorists today who cause accidents due to distracted driving (texting, talking on cell phones, eating while driving, or engaging in other activities), drunk driving, speeding, driving too fast for road/weather conditions, and so on.

Some of the most common factors in motorcycle accidents caused by negligent motorists include:

• Motorists fail to see motorcycles
• Distracted or inattentive motorists rear-end a motorcycle at a stop sign or stop light
• Motorists cut off motorcyclists, resulting in the bike swerving out of control and into a ditch or ravine
• Motorists drive partially in the lane in which the motorcyclist is driving

In addition, other drivers are not always the ones who are responsible when a motorcyclist has an accident that is not his or her fault.  For example, tires that are defective or manufactured in a negligent manner may result in an accident leaving you with serious injuries.  Regardless of who is responsible, our motorcycle accident attorneys will work diligently to obtain positive results for you.

IMPORTANT!
If you are injured, you should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney right away

Are you a victim of a negligent motorist?

When you are a victim of a negligent motorist or a manufacturer’s defective product, you may believe that the insurance company will treat you fairly.  Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.  Insurance companies are focused first and foremost on their own profits.  This means that it is not likely you will receive the full compensation you deserve.  While the settlement the insurance company offers you initially may sound good, it is likely that you will soon find that considering the high cost of medical care, it is not enough to meet your household bills and other financial obligations.  That is why it is highly recommended that you have a skilled motorcycle accidents attorney on your side before you come to any agreement with the insurance company.  The more you know, the easier it will be for you to make the best decision.

Regardless of your situation, if you are a victim of negligence and have suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident, you need a motorcycle accident injury attorney right away.  It is critical that you discuss your situation with a seasoned lawyer.  At the Law Offices of Kaplan & Kaplan P.C., we are dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for each of our clients.
