Why pursue legal action?
Usually, a fatal motorcycle accident results from the negligence of an automobile driver. The most common reason is the failure of the driver to see the cyclist. Aside from distractions such as cell phones and texting, drivers simply fail to look carefully before they:
- Change lanes
- Exit a freeway
- Turn left across oncoming traffic
- Pull out of parking lots
The average motorcycle weighs 500 pounds. The average car weighs 3,000 pounds. When the driver doesn't see the cyclist and collides with him, severe injury or death will probably take place. Drivers have a responsibility to avoid it and are negligent when they do not.
We know that no amount of money can make your life whole again. But a monetary recovery can reduce the stress of the expenses you face and make life a little easier.
Finally, negligent people should pay for their carelessness. You make it less likely they will be careless again, if you hold them accountable. You may contribute to a safer roadway by taking action.
