What Causes Today’s Motorcycle Accidents?
Motorcycles are, for the most part, smaller than the average private car that drives through Santa Ana. Motorists who don’t actively keep an eye out for motorcycles may transition into lanes, make broad turns, or otherwise engage in roadway behaviors that endanger an unprepared motorcyclist.
Trucker drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and even other motorcyclists can also fail to protect the motorcyclists around them if they don’t keep a careful eye on the road. In this way, negligence causes the bulk of motorcycle accidents in Santa Ana.
These aren’t the only parties whose negligence can cause a motorcycle accident, either. Manufacturers who release motorcycles onto the road without conducting proper safety tests can also assume responsibility for your losses. You may even have the right to hold an inattentive mechanic accountable if you get into a crash after they complete a service.
If you’re not sure who is most responsible for your recent motorcycle accident, Santa Ana attorneys can help you trace evidence of negligence back to its source. Contact our team for a free case evaluation today.
Should You Reach Out to an Insurance Provider After a Motorcycle Accident?
California requires everyone on the road to maintain minimum liability insurance. Most motorists invest in additional coverage to keep themselves as financially safe as possible.
What does this mean for you? If you get into an accident, the party responsible for your crash should have insurance coverage. You, in turn, should have the right to file an insurance claim with a relevant provider. Unfortunately, there are some drivers in California who either don’t have insurance or who will attempt to flee the scene to avoid responsibility for your crash.
Never pursue someone fleeing from an accident scene. You, as a private citizen, do not have the tools to safely interact with someone engaging in criminal misconduct.
If you do receive a liable party’s insurance information without them running from the scene, you can reach out to that provider and request adequate support. We recommend doing so with a personal injury lawyer on standby so you can preemptively cut off an insurance provider’s bad-faith behavior.
When Should You Contact a Santa Ana Motorcycle Accident Attorney?
You have the right to contact a Santa Ana motorcycle accident lawyer within hours of your accident. You’re not obligated to make that call while you’re still getting over the shock of your losses, though.
So long as you contact an attorney within the two years allotted to you by California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, you can initiate an investigation into your crash. This statute serves as California’s personal injury statute of limitations and controls the flow of evidence that appears in the civil system.
It’s incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to initiate a civil case against a liable party if it’s been more than two years since your motorcycle accident. If you’re at all interested in filing a lawsuit against a negligent party, we recommend you connect with a lawyer sooner rather than later.
What Damages Can a Santa Ana Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help You Win?
Many motorcycle accident survivors find themselves facing a deluge of bills after a crash. If you don’t have substantial savings, these bills can unbalance your plans for the future. Fortunately, our attorneys can help you request loss-based compensation from the party responsible for your accident. That compensation can help you address expenses like the following:
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain management and at-home assistance
- Property rentals, if applicable
We can help you calculate the dollar value of your emotional losses during a free personal injury case evaluation.
