Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Baltimore, MD

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are incredibly fun to ride even though they are extremely prone to accidents. Because they are so exposed, motorcyclists are at least five times as likely to be injured in a crash than someone driving a car. If you’ve been injured in an accident, contact a Baltimore MD Motorcycle Accident Lawyer today. Here are some of the most common causes of motorized bike collisions.

Motorcyclists can be injured after crashing into the doors of parked vehicles that suddenly swing open. The car’s operator may be considered negligent for not checking the side-view mirror before pulling the door’s handle.

Inexperienced Drivers

Those without proper training on driving a motorcycle are far more likely to get into an accident than those who are licensed. Wearing protective gear, such as a helmet, leather jacket and knee pads, is essential. Someone lacking instruction may fail to thoroughly comprehend the danger and drive a hog without permission.

Unsafe Maneuvers

Because motorcycles are extremely nimble, riders might engage in risky driving practices. When there is heavy traffic, the temptation to travel between lanes may be too great. This is known as lane splitting and is highly dicey. Another treacherous habit is speeding along the breakdown lane, where the road’s surface could be uneven or unexpected obstacles could suddenly appear. 

Road Conditions

Two-wheeled vehicles are far more likely to skid out than those balanced on four. When rainstorms suddenly fall, there are increased odds of a motorcycle crash. Other road perils, such as potholes and crumbling bridges, can be highly threatening for motorcyclists. The state could be responsible for not making a good-faith effort to rectify these pitfalls.

Left Turns

Because they are so much smaller than cars, motorcycles can be difficult to spot. This increases the odds that they will become involved in right-of-way errors. Motorcyclists need to be cautious that they are observed when moving through four-way intersections.

Manufacturing Errors

Some motorcycle accidents result from poor assembly or faulty parts. When it is provable that an accident occurred because of the bike’s manufacturer, a lawsuit is likely to unfold. Outcomes range from settling out of court to a widespread civil suit involving thousands of customers and strong media interest.

If you become injured in an accident involving a motorcycle and it wasn’t your fault, consult with a Baltimore MD Motorcycle Accident Lawyer to piece together your case and sue the responsible party. Hiring a professional litigant with expertise regarding these incidents will place you in the best position possible for winning in court.

This was an awesome experience with Brittney Cassiere, Miriam Calisher, and my attorney Jill. What made me select Cohen & Cohen for my case, was my experience many years ago with Kim Brooks-Rodney. I definitely recommend anyone to use them. They have your best interest at hand.

I am very satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within less than a year and settled a fair amount in which I was expecting. They communicated very well throughout the process as well as made sure all boxes were checked off to ensure i received the best care and communication. I will recommend the services to anyone in these situations. Riley and Brittney were certainly very helpful during the process.

Lucas Baudry was my rep for this accident claim, and even though I had LOADS of questions and was a bit impatient, he was always responsive and quick to reply. We’re wrapping up now, and I really feel like he tried to have the best results in the end, and didn’t drag it out more than need be.
