Proving Negligence and Liability After Your Motorcycle Crash
Identifying the at-fault party in your motorcycle accident is sometimes straightforward; however, to recover compensation, we must prove the at-fault party acted negligently and caused your accident. To do so, your personal injury attorney must establish the following:
- The defendant owed you a duty to act in a way that kept you from harm and injury (all drivers owe this duty to the other motorists who share the road with them, as do municipalities for keeping roads drivable, and other parties whose actions can affect motorists’ safety).
- The defendant failed to uphold this duty of care.
- This failure caused the accident that resulted in your injuries.
- The accident caused you to suffer damages (physical and emotional injury, as well as other losses).
Our legal team will fulfill all the required elements of proof so that your case is able to withstand the scrutiny of insurance adjusters, defense attorneys, judges, and jurors.

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
