Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents are caused by driver error. The other driver may fail to see the motorcyclist because they are of a lower stature or they don’t keep a lookout for them. Factors that can contribute to motorcycle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Misjudging the speed and distance of the motorcyclist
- Failing to yield the right-of-way
- Failing to check blind spots
- Unsafe passing
- Drunk driving
- Distractions
- Road hazards
How Can a Lawyer Help Prove Fault for a Motorcycle Accident in Grants?
Because New Mexico is an at-fault state for motor vehicle accidents, you must show the motorist was at fault for your injuries. Our lawyers can help identify, preserve, and assemble evidence that establishes fault, including:
- Accident reports
- Witness statements
- Videos from traffic cameras, business surveillance cameras, or dashcams
- Pictures of the accident scene
- Bike repair reports
