Xenick Lebedeker Pepin Represents Those Injured In Motorcycle Accidents In Palm Beach County
Because of the lack of protection a motorcycle provides, injuries suffered by riders involved in accidents are often severe and life threatening. Even if motorcyclists wear helmets and protective clothing, there is no barrier between them and the road, another vehicle, or some other object, which puts them at much greater risk for injury than those travelling in an automobile.
Damages in a Motorcycle Accident
After a motorcycle accident, the injured rider may be left with a variety of damages, such as:
- Medical bills, past, present, and future
- Physical therapy
- Loss of income, present, and future
- Diminished earning capacity
- Loss of physical function
- Pain and suffering
- PTSD
- Property damage
Following a Palm Beach County motorcycle accident, it is important to collect all relevant information about your injuries and evidence about the damage to your motorcycle. By having all of this evidence, you will greatly help your our motorcycle injury lawyers when we file your claim or, if necessary, your lawsuit.
Fault
According to the circumstances, fault for motorcycle accidents may rest with several different parties, including:
- The Driver of a Motor Vehicle (car, truck, bus) – Motorcycle accidents often occur when the driver of an automobile violates a traffic law, such as speeding, running a stop light, or failing to yield, and hits or is hit by a motorcyclist. Distracted driving, such as texting or talking on a cellphone while driving, eating, talking to other passengers, or even daydreaming takes a motorist’s attention away from the road and put other drivers, particularly motorcyclists, at risk.
- Road Debris and Obstacles – Liability for a road debris accident can be difficult to determine because the vehicle or driver who dropped the debris may not be able to be located or identified. However, an injured motorcyclist might be able to make a claim for damages with their own insurance company under their uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, with the help of a knowledgeable motorcycle injury attorney
- The motorcycle manufacturer – If a malfunction of the motorcycle due to a defective design, manufacture, or assembly causes an accident, the motorcycle manufacturer may be liable. In situations where a motorcycle or its parts have been recalled, retailers have a responsibility to pull parts from their shelves or to stop selling the motorcycle.
