Why You Need a Lawyer for Your Motorcycle Accident Case
ARENDSEN BRADDOCK LAW | EXPERIENCE MATTERS
It’s no question that motorcycle accident cases are some of the most difficult motor vehicle accident cases to handle. If that statement alone isn’t enough reason to hire a lawyer, we have some facts that may swing your decision.
One of the reasons it’s so hard to win a motorcycle accident case is
because of their severity. How many motorcyclists do you see on San Diego highways that wear nothing but a helmet? Because San Diego law essentially has two requirements for motorcyclists (DOT approved helmet, must have motorcycle license), many motorcyclists opt to wear minimum gear due to the nature of San Diego’s climate. With minimal gear, high-speed highways, lane-splitting and congestion, motorcycle drivers are 27 times more likely to die or have serious long-term personal injury in an accident than those in passenger vehicles.
Why Motorcyclists Should Hire a Lawyer
If you’re a motorcyclist, and you’ve been in a collision, it’s important to hire an attorney for your case. There’s no question that human bias may put a motorcyclist at-fault in the initial review. Human bias is based on reputation or perception. If you’re a motorcyclist who’s been in an accident without wrongdoing, since motorcyclists are known for lane-splitting and changing lanes without directional signals, human bias without a witness of the accident is hard to overcome.
By hiring a lawyer for your motorcycle accident case, you might want to ask about jury selection skills. Our team at Arendsen Braddock Law employs several motorcyclists who understand your situation and can help your case along by choosing a jury that can empathize with motorcyclists just based on visceral feelings alone.
What Should You Do After a Motorcycle Accident
If you’re a motorcyclist, it’s important to take note of every part of the accident. Unfortunately, when a motorcyclist is involved in a car accident, the motorcycle driver is the one with serious injury. If you are not too injured to review or remember the scene, it’s important to gather the following details:
- Call the police immediately
- Did the driver use directional signals?
- Did the drive pull out in front of you?
- Swap contact information with the other party
- Get contact information from witnesses that prove your case
