St. Petersburg Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Two-wheeled motor vehicles such as motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters have become very popular in recent years. They are fuel efficient, usually cheaper than cars, and simply fun to use. Of course, they also have their downsides. When there is an accident involving a car and a motorcycle, the motorcyclist is much more vulnerable to major injuries.
St. Petersburg biker injury lawyers Beltz & Ruth, P.A., know the painful consequences that can follow a motorcycle wreck. We do not feel that an injured motorcyclist should have to suffer these consequences without assistance when he or she is not responsible for his or injuries. Call our offices at 1-800-931-4369 to learn how we can help after a serious accident.
Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Studies have shown that the majority of accidents involving a motorcycle or moped and car are the driver’s fault. The sad truth is that many American drivers are not used to sharing the road with other vehicles or pedestrians. They tend to keep an eye out for cars and trucks, but often fail to notice motorcyclists or acknowledge their right of way.
Other common factors in motorcycle accidents include:
- Road hazards
- Defective motorcycle or safety equipment
- Poor weather
- Use of alcohol
- Reckless driving or biking
If you have been hurt by a driver or another motorcyclist, or if you are having difficulty receiving fair payments from your insurance company, speak to a St. Petersburg motorcycle injury lawyer about your legal rights.
