Motorcycle Accidents in Fresno

A quick search for motorcycle accidents in Fresno will show that this is not an unusual occurrence. Whenever damages are incurred due to a motorcycle crash or accident, it’s critical to protect the rights of the victims by investigating the cause of the crash. In order to file for any type of compensation, neglect on the part of the other vehicle must be established. A good personal injury attorney investigation can be invaluable in helping determining liability for the accident. The well-known Hurt report and the NHTSA found that an average of half to two thirds of all multiple-vehicle/motorcycle accidents are caused by the driver of another motor-vehicle who violated the right of way of the motorcycle driver. Some of the actions of neglect or carelessness from another driver which create a dangerous situation for a motorcycle rider are:

  • Careless violation of the motorcycle’s right of way
  • Reversing out of a parking space or driveway before looking
  • Not checking mirrors before lane changes
  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence or other impairment
