Negligence is a leading contributor of motorcycle accidents in the state of South Dakota and throughout the country. This driver negligence can, and does, take on many forms, from speeding to outright aggressive behavior. Our team at The Law Offices of Clayborn, Loos & Sabers LLP know that victims can suffer greatly because of a motorcycle accident. If you were struck by a driver while on a motorcycle and sustained serious injury, then we suggest speaking with our Sioux Falls, SD motorcycle accident lawyer about compensation. You deserve payment for having to go through such a terrible event.
Motorcycle Accident Causes
Almost all motorcycle accidents are caused by a driver who was being negligent or reckless. Some collisions may happen due to defective motorcycles or automobile parts, which could point to a third party manufacturer sharing liability. By having our team investigate further, we can identify who the responsible parties are and then pursue compensation from them for your losses. Our dedicated motorcycle accident attorney may uncover that one or more of the following contributed to the accident:
- Traffic law violations
- Distracted driving (texting or using cell phone)
- Speeding
- Driving while under influence of drugs and/or alcohol
- Failing to yield to right of way
- Unlawful passing or turning
- Road rage
- Tailgating/following too closely
- Failing to obey traffic control devices (stop signs, red lights)
- Driving while fatigued
Victim’s Damages And Losses
Motorcyclists can quickly become victims in accidents where they sustain severe injury and experience financial loss. It is our duty to protect victims and advocate for compensation that fairly gives them what they need to recover. However, we understand that some victims may not return to the health they had before. They may need to manage new conditions or disabilities that they had not had prior to the collision. We can help you seek payment from the at fault parties for damages and losses related to:
- Hospitalization and ambulance fees
- Medical bills
- Medications
- Surgeries
- Future medical expenses
- Medical equipment/devices
- Lost income/wages
