Beaverton and Washington County
Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Motorcycle accidents account for more than 11 percent of all traffic accidents that take place in the U.S. each year, reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Considering the fact that motorcycles only make up about 3 percent of all registered vehicles in the U.S., this disproportionate number of motorcycle accidents may be shocking. Motorcycle accidents can lead to severe injuries, including spinal injuries and head trauma, which can have long-term impacts on the lives of riders and their families.

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident, you may also have claims for property damage and other losses, which can add further complications to an already stressful situation. Pedestrians are also at risk of serious injuries in accidents involving motorcycles, highlighting just how dangerous these collisions can be for everyone on the road. Additionally, motorcycle accidents involving larger vehicles, such as trucks, can result in catastrophic injuries that require extensive medical care and recovery time.

Dealing with insurance companies after a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming, especially when you’re focused on recovering from your injuries. The legal process can be complex, and having the right representation can make a significant difference in securing fair compensation. Understanding your rights and the potential avenues for claims is crucial in ensuring that you and your loved ones are taken care of during this challenging time.

Linda Weimar is a Beaverton and Washington County motorcycle accident attorney dedicated to helping victims obtain the compensation they deserve.

What is potentially more shocking, however, is the fact that the majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by some type of preventable human error. In fact, according to the NHTSA, human error is a factor in more than 90 percent of all motorcycle accidents.

• Champion victims’ rights
• Hold negligent parties accountable for their role in causing motorcycle accidents

Negligence and Motorcycle Accidents

Some of the more common forms of negligence that often play a role in causing motorcycle accidents include:

• The negligence of other drivers, who may be drunk, intoxicated with drugs and/or driving while fatigued. Additional forms of driver negligence can include driving while distracted and failing to comply with traffic laws (by, for instance cutting off riders or failing to yield the right-of-way). In the event that other motorists’ negligence causes motorcycle accidents, these drivers can be held liable for compensating riders.
• The negligence of equipment manufacturers, which can cause essential equipment on motorcycles to malfunction when riders are on them. For instance, brake failures, tire defects or other issues with equipment can be triggered by the negligence of equipment manufacturers.
• The negligence of parties responsible for keeping the roads safe, as potholes, uncovered manholes and even objects left in the roads can cause devastating motorcycle accidents if riders are unable to avoid these obstacles. Such negligent parties can include a city, a county, a homeowners’ association, etc.

There are many other forms of negligence that can be a factor in causing motorcycle accidents, so it’s critical that victims consult with Attorney Linda Weimar to receive a professional case evaluation and learn more about their best options for obtaining compensation.
