Education
Below are some frequently asked questions about motorcycle accidents and legal claims resulting from these dangerous and all too common events. At the bottom of the page, you can request a free consultation to discuss your possible claim, as well as a free informational brochure.
According to the latest statistics (2013) gathered by the Governors Highway Safety Association, around 4,000 people die each year in motorcycle accidents, though the number appears to be decreasing. The most common cause of motorcycle fatalities is head injury. Although helmets decrease head injuries, they still happen frequently. Compared to car accidents, motorcyclists are 37 times more likely to die in an accident each year. Even those motorcyclists who survive their accidents tend to suffer injuries that are much more catastrophic than those suffered by victims of car accidents.
It is important to have an experienced Seattle motorcycle accident attorney to protect your rights and to make sure you are not abused by the insurance company. An attorney can coordinate with all of the various insurance companies and health care providers, can conduct a comprehensive investigation, and can document your injuries to make sure you get the recovery you deserve.
All cases in Washington are subject to a Statute of Limitations, which requires that a lawsuit be filed within a certain time following the accident. Depending on the circumstances of the case, this period could vary. It is important that you consult with an attorney knowledgeable in motorcycle accident cases as soon as possible following the accident.
Even if you were partly at fault for causing the accident, you still may be entitled to make a recovery for your injuries. Under Washington law, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. So if you were 30% at fault for the accident and your case is worth $100,000, you may only recover $70,000.
Absolutely. The fact that you did not have insurance on your motorcycle does not in any way prevent you from making a claim against the driver who caused the accident.
While not always necessary, an expert witness can be an important part of establishing a motorcycle accident case. Expert witnesses can determine the speed of the vehicles involved and can express opinions on the most likely may the accident happened. They can also provide testimony regarding the rules of the road as applied to motorcycles.
As with any accident, a prompt investigation can be the difference between winning and losing. The insurance company will likely try to claim that the motorcycle operator was partially or completely at fault for causing the accident. An early investigation to identify witnesses, obtain physical evidence and establish how the accident really happened is essential in every motorcycle case. An experienced Seattle motorcycle accident attorney will know exactly what kind of investigation needs to take place, and will get the necessary information right away.
Whoever was at fault for causing the accident can be held responsible. Usually, it is the driver of a car and truck who caused the accident, but if the operator is at fault for causing the accident, the passenger may have a claim against him. Although the claim is against the driver who caused the accident, in almost every case there is insurance that will provide coverage for the loss.
Anyone injured in the accident can bring a claim – either the motorcycle operator or the passenger. If the operator was killed in the accident, certain family members are authorized to bring a survival or wrongful death claim under Washington law.
Motorcycles face a much higher risk than cars of being hit by another vehicle. Motorcycles can be hard to see because of their size, especially for drivers of larger vehicles. There are numerous situations that can result in an accident that is not your fault. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you should follow these steps:
