Our motorcycle accident attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C., currently have a case where a motorcycle rider hit a pothole in the roadway that had been there for what looks like years. The rider was very seriously injured. Motorcycle riders are likely to be seriously injured because they have no protection and are likely to be ejected from the bike.
Potholes and Group Riding
Many times motorcycle riders travel in groups and riders are typically more seriously injured when they hit a pothole while riding with others. This is because the riders behind the initial accident are not expecting a rider to be ejected. If one rider hits a pothole, it can cause a chain reaction through the rest of the group.
When riding in groups if you are able to keep an eye out ahead of you it may help to prevent more serious injuries to you. Of course, when you are riding on the highway or are traveling at a consistent speed, it is very difficult to see such things in front of you.
What a Motorcycle Collision Attorney Would Do to Help
A skilled motorcycle collision attorney could be useful to the injured rider or the family of a rider killed in cases like these. The Husband and Wife Law Team would help that rider or the family to negotiate with the at-fault party. Many times the at-fault party is the city, owner of premises, or other vehicle owners. These cases often involve experts and have short deadlines. For instance for potholes accidents if the city is at fault, the initial deadline is 180 days to file a notice of claim.
