North Miami Beach Single-Bike Accidents

Motorcycles can be great fun, but they are also risky. Every time you hop on a bike, you risk being involved in a traffic accident. Sometimes, these accidents are caused by other vehicles on the road and can be caused by negligent or drunk drivers in North Miami Beach or your community. Sometimes however, motorcyclists are involved in single vehicle collisions. They may lose control in a turn, crash into a stationary object, or go sliding or skidding along a road surface. In these cases, you may be surprised to learn that you can also recover damages for your injuries. You may be able to negotiate with your insurance carrier or you may find that there are liable parties in your case and you may be able to pursue a claim against those liable parties. To find out what options you have in your situation, do not hesitate to contact Flaxman Law Group for a free, no obligation case assessment.

In most motor vehicle accidents, there is an at-fault driver that has caused an accident. For example, if you are in a rear end shunt accident, it may be clear relatively early that the driver behind you was distracted or failed to stop in time and plowed into your vehicle. However, in a single motorcycle accident, it is harder to detect the negligent party, in many cases. All too often, authorities and insurance companies will blame the motorcyclist for the accident, even if there was another cause for the crash. In many cases, there may be law multiple liable parties in this type of case, including:

• The manufacturer of the motorcycle or the maker of individual motorcycle parts
• The mechanic responsible for maintaining or repairing the motorcycle
• The municipality or construction company responsible for building or maintaining the road where the accident took place

The reality is that there may be many reasons for a single bike crash, including:

• Road debris
• Poor signage
• Poor road design
• Wildlife running onto the road
• Poor visibility
• Bad weather
• Mechanical failure

Some of these situations are preventable and are caused by negligence. Because of the frequent confusion following a single bike accident, it is important for a motorcyclist who has been seriously injured in this type of collision to speak with a personal injury attorney immediately following their accident so that they can get a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident underway. It is important not to get blamed for causing a collision that you did not cause. It is also important to seek maximum compensation in these situations so that you do not have to pay for expensive medical treatments and other damages out-of-pocket.
