Our Fort Myers Motorcycle Crash Law Firm Helps with Single Vehicle Accidents

 When a motorcyclist is injured in a one-vehicle accident, many people may believe the motorcyclist must have been speeding. However, this may not be the case. There are many times when a motorcyclist is injured through no fault of his/her own and may be entitled to compensation. It is important to contact an expert in Florida motorcycle accident lawyer who is experienced in handling different types of motorcycle accident cases.

Understanding Causes of Single Vehicle Motorcycle Crashes

A Motorcycle Accident Cause Factors and Identification of Countermeasures report said 25 percent of all motorcycle accidents in the United States are the result of the rider’s collision with a stationary object. Some of the fixed objects impacting a motorcyclist include fixed roadway equipment, such as construction signs, navigational signage, orange cones, and other road construction items. Barriers, walls and guardrails, light posts, electric power poles, and telephone poles have also caused motorcycle accidents. These accidents may be caused by another party who may be held responsible, says a Fort Myers motorcycle accident attorney.

When a motorcyclist happens to strike a section of raised pavement and crashes on a roadway, it could be the fault of road maintenance companies. When debris or liquids spill onto the roadway and there is a lack of warning about unsafe road surfaces, it could be a third party that is responsible.

There are times when a motorcyclist loses control of his/her bike causing a crash. This type of accident could be a result of the failure of a brake, clutch, or steering mechanism. The motorcycle manufacturer could be responsible, or a mechanic failing to fix a motorcycle appropriately or using defective equipment or parts.

Single-vehicle motorcycle accidents can also be the result of another vehicle cutting a motorcycle off or bumping into the motorcycle and fleeing the scene.
