Legal Help for Mooresville Motorcycle Accident Claims
The number of motorcycle riders who use helmets and other safety equipment has increased steadily in recent years. However, a large number of riders are still injured or killed every year in accidents that are caused by others' negligence. Even with full safety equipment, a rider is still exposed to injury or death when colliding with larger vehicles or stationary objects. Resulting serious injuries include abrasions, broken bones, "road rash," brain or spinal cord damage, and internal injuries.
At the Law Office of William T. Corbett Jr., PLLC, we understand that motorcycle riders are sometimes viewed as "second-class citizens" when on the road, being given less attention or care by other drivers than a driver of a regular vehicle. This behavior on the part of other motorists results in a large number of motorcycle accidents. Our goal is to protect riders' rights by fighting for compensation on their behalf when they are injured due to other motorists' negligence. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact a Mooresville personal injury attorney at our firm who can provide you with immediate help if you live in Mooresville, Lake Norman, Charlotte, or surrounding areas.
Motorcycle Accident Causes
A large percentage of motorcycle accidents are caused by negligence on the part of other motorists or third parties, not the rider. This negligent behavior can include:
- A motorist making a sudden turn and cutting off an unsuspecting rider
- A motorist failing to yield when a rider has the right-of-way
- A motorist making a sudden move that can result in a rider taking evasive action and colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle
- A motorist following too closely behind a rider and rear-ending them
- A failure on the part of city or county transportation officials to properly maintain the roads
