Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Miami Car Driver Negligence Lawyer Helping the Injured

Even when wearing protective gear, motorcycle riders are vulnerable in the event of a collision. Motorcycle accidents are far too common, and the consequences are often catastrophic.

At the Florida law firm of Greenberg & Stone, P.A., our lawyers provide skilled legal representation for victims of motorcycle accidents. We have extensive experience handling personal injury matters and wrongful death claims.

Many factors can contribute to a motorcycle accident:

• Driver negligence is one of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents. Other drivers on the road may be speeding, or may fail to give motorcyclists the full use of the lane. Car drivers may fail to check their blind spots before changing lanes and swerve into motorcyclists.
• The negligence of a city, state or county may be partially responsible for a motorcycle accident. The failure to maintain safe roadways can be a serious issue for anyone on the roads — but this is particularly true for motorcyclists, who may be thrown off a bike on crumbling pavement.
• It is important to note that sometimes motorcycle accidents are caused by negligence on the part of motorcycle riders. Unfortunately, many people have an inherent bias against motorcyclists and overestimate the frequency of fault on the part of the motorcyclist.

When providing representation for claims related from motorcycle accidents, we fully investigate all aspects of the accident. Our in-house private investigator will start working as soon as possible, to collect any available evidence including witness statements and police reports. We work with accident reconstructionists and human factors experts, to determine all of the elements contributing to the crash.

If an accident has resulted in an injury or a fatality, we can effectively serve you. Our lawyers have obtained significant verdicts and settlements in motorcycle accidents cases.
