Merced MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT INJURIES CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE
Car and truck drivers often claim they never saw the motorcycle before impact. In many cases, the motorcycle rider followed the road rules, but the other driver did not pay proper attention to objects in the rearview mirror or check blind spots. Our Merced motorcycle accident lawyers build a solid case against the other driver, showing how they violated their duty of care and negligently caused your injuries.
Typical cases of driver negligence that cause motorcycle accidents include:
| Unsafe lane changes Running stop signs and lights Broadside and rear-end collisions |
Speeding vehicles Drunk and impaired drivers Distracted drivers |
Demonstrating driver negligence is just the first step that our Merced motorcycle accident attorneys take. Next, you want to prove that you operated your motorcycle with due care.
Sometimes, police and courts blame riders for the perfectly legal operation of their bike. “Lane splitting” refers to moving forward in traffic between two other vehicles. This technique does not break any traffic laws; however, splitting lanes before an accident can lead to assumptions of rider negligence and fault in a Merced motorcycle accident lawsuit. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Merced, like Mr. Rivas, can assess your rights from the outset and prevent a negligent driver from pointing the finger at you to avoid their responsibility to you.
