Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

The driver who caused your motorcycle accident may be found negligent for a number of different reasons, including:

  • Inattention
  • Disobeying traffic laws
  • Driving too fast
  • Driving too slowly
  • Driving while drowsy or fatigued
  • Being under the influence of alcohol
  • Being under the influence of drugs (including prescription or over-the-counter medication)
  • Reckless behavior

Who is Responsible for Your Motorcycle Accident

California recognizes comparative negligence. This means that all parties responsible for your motorcycle accident can be held for a proportion of the damages according to the percentage they are found to be at fault for the accident.

For instance, if a negligent driver was found to be 10 percent at fault for your injuries, that driver would have to pay 10 percent of your damages.

The driver who hit you may not be the only entity responsible for your injuries. Others who may be liable include:

  • Local, state, or federal government (for, example, unsafe road conditions)
  • The manufacturer of your motorcycle
  • The motorcycle dealership or seller
  • The manufacturer of the vehicle that hit you
  • The seller of the vehicle that hit you
  • The owner of the vehicle that hit you (if someone other than the driver)
  • A passenger in the other driver’s vehicle
  • A driver or pedestrian not hit in the accident

Liability in motorcycle accident lawsuits can be complicated. That is why motorcycle accident attorney Jim Pocrass assembles a team of experts to present persuasive testimony in such areas a accident reconstruction, medicine, psychiatry, and product engineering.
