   4. Document the Scene

      • Take photos and notes about the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any injuries.

   7. Contact an Attorney

      • Seek legal advice to understand your rights and options.

Liability in motorcycle accidents is determined based on negligence. Key factors include:

• • Duty of Care:

    • All drivers, including motorcyclists, have a responsibility to operate their vehicles safely and follow traffic laws.

  • Breach of Duty:

    • A driver fails to meet the standard of care (e.g., speeding, distracted driving).

  • Causation:

    • The breach of duty directly caused the accident and resulting injuries.

  • Damages:

    • The injured party suffered losses due to the accident (e.g., medical bills, property damage, lost wages).

Navigating the legal process after a motorcycle accident can be complex. Having experienced legal representation is crucial to ensure your rights are protected and to maximize your compensation.
