Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Police will look at the evidence at the scene to determine the cause of the accident. When it is just one driver, it can be hard to determine. However, determining the cause is essential for determining if anyone else is at fault.
For example, if debris caused the driver to lose control and that debris was a result of the property owner’s negligence, the owner could be liable. Grass clippings on the roadway can be an indication of this, for example. The city may hold some responsibility if the roadway is in poor condition.
Another vehicle may have caused the driver to turn quickly to avoid being hit. That driver could be responsible if proven at fault. Other times, the rider made a mistake, had a medical incident, or lost control trying to avoid an animal.
