Driver Negligence is the Biggest Cause of Motorcycle Crashes in Clark, Orange & Newark, NJ

Dangerous road conditions and defective equipment are a few of the major causes of motorcycle accidents. However, negligence on the part of other motorists on the roadway causes, by far, the majority of most motorcycle accidents.

National statistics regarding driver negligence and motorcycle crashes are harrowing:

• In more than two-thirds of accidents, the other driver caused the crash by violating the biker’s right of way.
• Negligent car drivers are involved in more than half – 56 percent – of all fatal motorcycle accidents
• Bikers are far more likely to die in motorcycle-car accidents than occupants of the other vehicle (26 times more likely, in fact) and five times more likely to get injured in a motorcycle-auto accident.
• According to the (NHTSA), the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “the fatality rate per registered vehicle for motorcyclists in 2013 was six times the fatality rate for passenger car occupants.

There are a wide variety of driver behaviors that might be considered negligent, including speeding, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, failure to yield, failure to give right of way, not “seeing the motorcycle or failure to check blind spots, failing to use a turn signal, cutting in front of a motorcycle when making a left turn or a sudden lane change, and failing to obey traffic conditions and laws in Westfield, Summit and throughout North Jersey

Why You Need Legal Representation from a Savvy Attorney Who Knows NJ Motorcycle Laws

We will leave no stone unturned as we prove the other driver’s negligence. We work closely with accident reconstruction specialists, safety engineers, medical professionals, and others to build our case against the negligent driver. We will review all police records, witness statement and conduct a thorough investigation about the events surrounding your collision.

In order to hold a motorist liable for negligence, we must be able to prove they engaged in actions that a reasonable person would know would increase the risk for collision. For example:

• Were they speeding?
• Were they drinking?
• Were they weaving or making quick lane changes?
• Did they fail to yield to the motorcycle?
• Did they fall asleep behind the wheel?
• Did they make comments to the police offers such as, “I didn’t even see the motorcycle!

All of these are clear indications that they weren’t paying attention and therefore driving negligently.

We will build your case, piece by piece, and then skillfully negotiate with the insurance company in an effort to get you the maximum damages possible for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages and more. However, if the insurance company isn’t willing to negotiate fairly, we aren’t afraid to go to court on your behalf. In a courtroom, we will prove to a jury how the other driver’s negligence caused your accident.

Be aware, there is a statute of limitations on all personal injury claims in New Jersey. You must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. Time is of the essence because witnesses move or change phone numbers, evidence gets misplaced and video gets erased. Contact Team Law today so we can get started building an ironclad case that will result in the maximum compensation you deserve.
