Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in Quad Cities

After your motorcycle accident, you have the option to collect compensation for your injuries by filing a personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim. However, you will need to prove that the at-fault driver was negligent at the time of the crash to secure a settlement.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents that may constitute negligent driving behavior include the following:

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Distracted driving
• Failing to check rear and side mirrors
• Turning in front of a motorcycle at an intersection
• Attempting to use the same lane as a motorcycle
• Improper and dangerous passing
• Tailgating

In some situations, the driver may not be the cause of the accident at all. You may suffer an accident due to a defective part, and you may hold the manufacturer liable in your claim. Dangerous road conditions such as potholes or loose gravel may lead to legal action against a government agency.

The attorneys at Duncan Law Group will conduct a full-scale investigation into the cause of your accident to determine who is liable and how negligence unfolded during your collision.

How to Prove a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Quad Cities

All motorcycle accident claims rely on the theory of negligence, and you will need to show that negligence was present at the time of the crash. The method you and your attorney will take to prove the at-fault party’s negligence is the same whether your accident occurred in Illinois or Iowa.

You will need to collect and present evidence to prove the following facts:

• The at-fault party owed you a duty of care, such as to drive safely and follow all traffic laws, or keeping roads clear and free of debris.
• The at-fault party breached their duty to you in some way.
• You suffered injuries as a result of the breach of care.
• You can collect damages in your lawsuit as a result of your injuries.

After establishing the facts of your claim, the court will decide whether to award you a settlement and how much the settlement will be. The funds from your settlement can pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
