Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are especially dangerous due to the limited protection between motorcyclists and the surrounding traffic. Even a single act of negligence can inflict catastrophic injuries, making it crucial to know your rights and stay vigilant on the road.

Some common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

Speeding
Tailgating
Distracted driving
Unsafe lane changes
Failing to check blind spots
Failing to yield the right of way
Failing to check for motorcyclists before entering traffic
Poor road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or loose gravel

If you were wrongfully injured in a motorcycle accident, don’t wait to seek justice. Our attorneys can investigate the collision, identify liable parties, gather evidence to support your claim, and fight to recover the full settlement you deserve.

What Damages Are Recoverable in a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit?

Depending on the circumstances of the accident and the severity of the injuries, various forms of compensation may be available in a motorcycle accident claim. There are two primary types of recoverable damages:

Economic damages for direct financial losses, such as medical bills, treatment costs, lost income, property damage, and lost earning capacity.
Non-economic damages for indirect losses, such as emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent scarring or disfigurement.

In rare cases involving extreme negligence, the court may also award punitive damages. While other damages are intended to compensate the victim directly, punitive damages are awarded solely to punish the defendant. Our attorneys can assess every avenue for financial recovery to pursue the maximum compensation available to you.

How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. Having a trusted lawyer on your side is paramount to maintaining eligibility for damages. Our attorneys are well versed in these legal nuances to help you file a claim accurately and within the appropriate deadline.

How Can I Prove Fault in a Motorcycle Accident?

The plaintiff bears the burden of proof in injury lawsuits, meaning you are responsible for establishing liability by a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, you must show that the defendant’s negligence “more likely than not” caused your injuries.

Our lawyers can help you meet the burden of proof by demonstrating the following elements:

Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic laws and operating their vehicle responsibly.
Breach of duty. The defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as running a red light or texting while driving.
Causation. The defendant’s negligence directly caused your injuries.
Damages. You suffered actual harm (damages) as a result of the breach.

Can I Recover Damages After a Motorcycle Accident on I-44 if I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?

Motorcycle riders and passengers under the age of 18 are required to wear helmets (47 O.S. § 12-609). Although riders over 18 are not legally obligated to wear helmets, forgoing one can still lead to reduced compensation under Oklahoma’s modified comparative fault system.

This rule allows plaintiffs to recover damages as long as their share of the fault is less than 51%, but any compensation awarded will be reduced proportionally. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for an accident totaling $100,000 in damages, you may only recover $80,000 ($20,000 less than the original value).

While not wearing a helmet does not automatically bar you from recovering damages, insurance companies may argue that your injuries were more severe because you weren’t wearing one. Our lawyers can work diligently to protect you from undue blame by presenting clear and compelling evidence of liability.

My Loved One Was Killed in a Motorcycle Accident on U.S. Route 169. Can I Seek Justice on Their Behalf?

If your loved one passed away in a motorcycle accident on US 169, your family may be entitled to compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit. Our firm can guide your legal steps with care and work tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable while you focus on grieving and honoring your loved one’s life and legacy.

Do I Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

The last thing you need while recovering from a serious injury is additional stress. When you partner with our experienced attorneys, we can represent your best interests while you focus on your recovery.

Below are some important reasons to secure representation after a motorcycle accident:

Navigating the claims process. We can help you file a claim within the statute of limitations, track critical deadlines, handle necessary filings, and guide you through each stage of the legal process.
Proving liability. We can help you identify responsible parties and prove liability by gathering witness statements, expert testimonies, surveillance footage, medical records, and other evidence to support your claim.
Maximizing compensation. We can accurately calculate damages to maximize recoverable compensation and pursue a settlement that covers all your current and future care needs.
Protecting your rights. Insurers have a reputation for downplaying injuries and pushing lowball settlement offers. We can negotiate a just settlement while protecting your rights at every turn.
Trial representation. We prepare every case for trial and never hesitate to represent clients in litigation if necessary to hold insurance companies accountable and achieve a fair resolution.
