The results of two major studies, one in the U.S. (Hurt Report) and MAIDS (Motorcycle Accident In Depth Study) which covered several European countries  determined that human error is the primary cause of 50% of two-vehicle crashes.  The lack of perception of the motorcycle on the part of the other driver was found to be the primary cause in approximately 70% of all motorcycle accidents involving two vehicles.  A knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorney at the firm has successfully helped numerous injured motorcyclists to file a claim for damages, to obtain the funds needed to cover their costs of medical treatment, follow-up care and other damages.  Our investigative team can visit the accident site, take measurements and photographs, interviews and gathers witness statements, and analyze road conditions and other contributing factors.

Most of these accidents occur at lower speeds, 30 MPH or less.  Traffic violations, such as rolling stops by the motorcyclist or the other vehicle were involved in 26% of these collisions, while visual obstructions or faulty driving strategy were present  in approximately one-third of these accidents.  The time available to the motorcycle operator to effect collision avoidance is often insufficient for riders who haven't been specifically trained in collision avoidance strategies.  If you have been in an accident, whether you feel injured or not, even if you believe yourself to be responsible, we advise that you contact us, report the accident, and get a thorough medical examination, always prior to discussing your case with an insurance adjuster.  After a thorough investigation, if necessary we can reconstruct the accident and pinpoint the primary cause, secondary cause and other contributing factors.  Call the Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, LLC to discuss your accident with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer who is interested in helping you.
