Garden City Motorcycle Accident Attorney

We’ll Find Out Why Your Motorcycle Accident Happened

Our firm will identify the cause of your accident. In doing so, we’ll identify anyone who owes you compensation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that motorists are usually responsible for accidents. A motorist may cause a motorcycle accident by:

• Speeding and losing control of their vehicle
• Failing to check blind spots before turning or changing lanes
• Merging into a lane where a motorcyclist is
• Crossing an intersection when a motorcyclist is approaching
• Opening a door next to a motorcycle-occupied lane
• Driving while drunk, distracted, or on drugs
• Driving while tired

Motorcycle accidents stem from many possible hazards. Defects and dangerous road conditions can also cause accidents. The cause of your specific accident may affect liability.

Who Is Liable for Your Motorcycle Accident in Garden City?

Liability for an accident depends on why the accident happened. Liable parties for different accidents may include:

• For an accident caused by driver error: The driver or their employer
• For an accident caused by dangerous road conditions: The city of Garden City or any party that caused the dangerous conditions
• For an accident caused by vehicle defects: A vehicle or parts manufacturer, a used car salesperson, or a mechanic who caused the defect

We’ll need to review the facts of your accident. Once we do, we’ll determine who is liable for your losses.

What Is Your Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?

This also depends on facts specific to your accident. We’ll determine what injuries you’ve suffered, what medical care you’ll require, and how much time you’ll need to recover. We will also calculate the cost of motorcycle repairs, lost income, and other damages. With all necessary information in hand, our team can determine the value of your case.
