What to Do When You Have Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident in Traffic
As Phoenix motorcycle lawyers, we handle motorcycle accidents and talk to victims of motorcycle accidents every day. We see that many motorcycle crashes take place in traffic. Why is it that so many Phoenix motorcycle accidents occur in traffic? That is because many times there are stop and gos and driver's attention is diverted to something else going on in the roadway. Distraction when there is traffic is something that we see from drivers that cause many accidents. With motorcyclists in Arizona, when you are in stop and go traffic, you are in a position where there is already little protection around you. For motorcyclists, there is nothing that can be done but to rely on vehicle drivers to pay attention to the roadway. When a vehicle driver is not paying attention to the roadway, this is when serious motorcycle accident injuries occur.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident and were in an area where it was stop and go traffic, it is important to never give a recorded statement. Many people ask us if they should talk to their own insurance company. Our opinion as motorcycle injury lawyers is to wait to talk to your own insurance. Make sure you understand the facts of what happened in the accident. Many times when motorcycle accidents happen in traffic, it is because there is more than one driver who is at-fault for the accident. It is important in those cases for the injured motorcyclists to understand what drivers are at-fault and what percentage they are at fault. When it comes to percentages of fault, this can be confusing and is something that should be left up to an attorney who has experience in these types of accidents.
