Most motorcycle and ATV deaths are due to the carelessness of motor vehicle drivers who are distracted, make unsafe lane changes or deadly left-hand turns because they are not paying attention to their surroundings. Even worse, many fatalities are needlessly caused by motor vehicle operators who drive while drunk or under the influence of other substances. Motorcycle and ATV accidents require a prompt investigation immediately following the incident. The success of the claim often depends on the amount of liability evidence we can marshal following the accident.
If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle or ATV accident and it initially appears that your loved one was solely responsible for the accident, an investigation should still be immediately conducted. Over the years, we have found many accidents are not caused by driver error, but because of road conditions, mechanical defects of the motorcycle or due to the actions of a phantom vehicle that fled the scene. In these cases, it is even more important that you quickly hire an attorney to gather evidence such as dashcam footage (which can be erased), eye-witness testimony, photos of the crash, and police and toxicology reports.
