Compassionate Personal Injury Lawyers Work Tirelessly to Obtain Substantial Damages for South Jersey Motorcycle Accident Victims
Motorcycle riders get a bad rap in New Jersey. Most car and truck drivers are quick to say that accidents involving motorcycles are caused by daredevil riders who fail to obey the rules of the road. However, accident statistics here in New Jersey, and across the nation, don’t support those claims. In fact, the majority of motorcycle crashes are caused by other motorists who failed to “see” the motorcycles on the road.
If you or someone you love has been the victim of a motorcycle crash, or any other type of motor vehicle accident, don’t suffer in silence. At the law firm of Brenner Spiller & Archer, we are passionate about fighting for the rights of motorcycle accident victims. We will investigate your accident with the assistance of forensic experts and we will seek maximum compensation for your injuries.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in South Jersey
Bikers may often appear tough, but they are actually the most vulnerable people on New Jersey’s roads. Did you know that motorcycle riders are 26 times more likely to die in an accident as compared with car and truck drivers? Additionally, bikers are five times more likely to be seriously injured in an accident. This is because bikers are not surrounded by tons of steel the way other motorists are protected.
In the event of a crash, motorcyclists are often thrown from their bikes or dragged along the pavement. Road rash, broken bones, crushing injuries and wrongful death are all too common, as well.
There are many actions that can result in a motorcycle crash. Poor weather conditions, road debris and malfunctioning equipment on the bike itself can all lead to a catastrophic accidents and serious injuries.
Additionally, however, other motorists are often at fault. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in New Jersey include:
Distracted Driving: A car or truck driver who is texting, eating, drinking, talking on the phone, interacting with other passengers or generally failing to be aware of the surroundings can cause an accident.
Failure to Yield: It’s important to pay attention to road signage, regardless of the type of vehicle you are operating. If a car driver doesn’t “see” a motorcycle on the road, it’s not unusual to fail to yield even when signs are clearly posted and the biker has the right of way.
Left Turn Accidents: These types of accidents occur when a car or truck driver doesn’t know there is a motorcycle riding beside them and they fail to give adequate warning when making a left turn. They turn left in front of the biker, cutting them off and causing a crash.
Red Light Accidents: When drivers attempt to beat the light, accidents happen.
