Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Serving Buffalo, New York
Most motorcycle riders enjoy the freedom and exhilaration that comes with riding out on the open road. You can enjoy the Buffalo area scenery, relish the solitude and breathe in the fresh air. The downside, however, is that motorcycle riding can be very dangerous when you consider the accident-related injury and fatality statistics.
Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Motorcycle accidents are almost always more dangerous than passenger vehicle accidents because there is nothing shielding the motorcyclist from the impact of a collision. Due to this, in 98% of all motorcycle accidents the rider is injured, and in 45% of all accidents the injury is serious or fatal.
What’s even more unsettling is the fact that two thirds of the time the vehicle driver is at fault. Many motorcycle safety organizations believe that this number will increase due to increased cell phone use while driving and the sizable blind spots many SUVs and large passenger vehicles have.
Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits
One of the most unfortunate aspects of motorcycle accidents is that many motorcyclists face an uphill battle if they need to file a lawsuit against a passenger vehicle driver. There are many reasons for this, including:
- Many passenger vehicle drivers will claim they never saw the motorcycle coming in order to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
- Many judges and jury members tend to believe that motorcycle riding is an inherently dangerous pastime and will be naturally biased against the motorcyclist.
- You must prove that the other driver’s negligence caused the motorcycle accident, which can be difficult if there is no hard evidence or witness accounts.
For all of these reasons, it is absolutely necessary to hire a highly experienced motorcycle accident attorney to represent you in court.
