Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
When it comes to riding a motorcycle, the inherent dangers are undeniable. Statistics have shown that motorcyclists have an increased risk of serious injuries should an accident occur. Beyond even this - motorcycle riders experience higher rates of fatality than those in a car during an accident due to their lack of protection from elements like airbags and metal frames that cars provide.
Motorcycle accidents are frequently caused by:
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failing to see motorcyclists when merging or turning
- Driving under the influence
- Negligence
Motorcycle accidents may also be caused by issues associated with lane splitting and poor weather conditions or poor visibility. It is recommended that motorcyclists always take caution any time they ride and avoid driving when the weather is bad or if they are fatigued. Bikers should also wear protective clothing and a full-face helmet any time they ride.
Seeking Compensation for Your Injuries
Some of the most common motorcycle accidents in New Mexico range from single or multiple-vehicle collisions to head-on collisions and lane departures. However, these accidents all have one thing in common: the motorcyclist is usually the party most seriously injured. When a motorcyclist is seriously injured in an accident caused by the negligence or recklessness of another driver, they may have grounds to seek compensation for their injuries by filing a personal injury lawsuit.
You may be entitled to compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Rehab or physical therapy costs
- Disability benefits
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Lost wages
- Lost future earning potential
- Property damage
If your loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident, you might be entitled to compensation for their medical expenses (and other costs associated with their accident and injuries), funeral and burial costs, emotional distress, and loss of companionship and financial support. In these cases, you may need to file a wrongful death claim and should speak with our attorney regarding your legal options and the best path forward for your particular case.
