With little regard or respect for motorcycle drivers, automobile drivers place them at great risk for serious injury in Indiana motorcycle accidents. Despite this, motorcyclists are less likely than car drivers to recover compensation for their injuries.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are about 35 times more likely to die in an accident than a car’s passenger and are about eight times as likely to be injured. Despite the greater chance of injury, Indiana motorcycle accident victims have a more difficult case to defend because they are stereotyped as risky and reckless drivers. That’s why you need a determined, steadfast Indiana motorcycle accident lawyer from Stewart & Stewart Attorneys to help you overcome the disadvantages of a motorcycle accident lawsuit.
According to Motorcycle Accident Cause Factors and Identification of Countermeasures (Volume 1: Technical Report, Hurt, H.H., Ouellet, J.V. and Thom, D.R), the failure of drivers to notice motorcyclists on the roadway is the predominate cause of motorcycle accidents. An Indiana motorcycle accident can be the result of another person’s negligence when the driver fails to look properly before changing lanes, gives too little space for the motorcyclist to maneuver, or turns in front of the motorcyclist without giving the appropriate signal.
Too often responsibility can be overlooked in an Indiana motorcycle accident, but with Stewart & Stewart Attorneys, we will work hard to ensure that the negligent driver involved in your motorcycle accident will be held accountable. By law, motorcyclists have the same rights as any other driver on the road, and our Indiana injury lawyers are prepared to fight for the recovery you deserve
