According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2016, 5,286 people died in motorcycle crashes – an increase from last year. Motorcyclists are at a much greater risk of fatal accidents than automobiles. This is mainly due to the inherent lack of protection that is given to motorcycles in comparison to automobiles. It should be that due to the existence of this danger, others on the road should be more cautious around motorcycles. This is not always the case, though, and some drivers act with negligence which can end in an accident which often involve serious injuries, and even death, to the motorcyclist since they have little protection in an accident. When you believe that a loved one died from due to another’s negligence in a motorcycle accident, you should consider pursuing a wrongful death case.
A wrongful death can be determined if there is evidence that the other party was behaving in a negligent manner. In the context of a motorcycle accident, this would involve the other party’s driving being classified as negligent, which essentially entails carelessness. If you are able to show that the other driver was careless at the time of the accident, meaning they were drunk, distracted, or driving with a disregard for the rules, then you may be able to recover some of the damages that you suffered as a result.
It can be a devastating event to lose a loved one to a traffic accident, and even more so knowing that it occurred due to someone’s negligence. If you are able to preserve as many documents and pieces of evidence from the incident, we can assure you that we will bring justice to the other driver. Suffering through this event in life can be difficult, and we hope to ease part of the process for you.
