Indio Motorcycle/Bicycle Accident Lawyers
There is no limit to the devastation of an accident of any sort causes. Even those with few injuries are forever changed. From emotional issues to a fear of driving to medical bills that pile up to debt that incurs from those medical bills, people change when they are involved in an accident.
No accident is minor, even when it seems that way. Motorcycle and bicycle accidents are among the most dangerous in California because drivers are less protected. Chances of death and serious injury increase significantly in an accident involving any sort of bike, and Indio Motorcycle/Bicycle Accident Lawyers know the days and months following an accident are among the worst in a person’s life.
What Causes Motorcycle/Bicycle Accidents
The honest answer is anything. A driver who looks down for one moment to see who sent the text message that made their phone ping can veer into another lane by accident and hit a motorcycle, or they can swerve onto the sidewalk and hit someone on a bike. Anything can happen on the road, and it’s important that motorcycle and bicycle riders know their rights.
If you’re involved in an accident caused by someone else, you are entitled to legal action. Before we discuss that, you should know what some of the most common causes of motorcycle/bicycle accidents really are.
- Careless driving
- Distracted driving
- Drugs and alcohol in the driver’s system
- Tired driving
- Speeding
- Not stopping or yielding when necessary
- Not paying attention to the road
- Not looking out for bikes and motorcycles
What Happens After an Accident?
If you’re fortunate, your injuries are minor. Regardless, insurance companies will call the victim and try to make payment as quickly as possible to avoid paying hefty bills. Since some accidents cause injuries that may not manifest right away, it’s important that you do see a doctor no matter how well you think you came out of the accident.
Following the accident, you also need to seek legal counsel. You don’t want to settle with an insurance company quickly and end up with more medical bills than you initially thought only to realize you cannot afford to pay.
