Motorcycle Accidents

San Diego Motorcycle Accident Lawyers 

Motorcyclists endure a higher risk than the operators of other motor vehicle. In fact, they are five times more likely to be killed when involved in an accident. A motorcycle's smaller size and its weaving in and out of traffic makes it difficult for the operators of other motor vehicles to see the motorcycle. This is especially true for drivers of large sports utility vehicles and 18-wheelers as they share the same right of way on the highways.

Unfortunately in many cases, the motorcyclist is killed as a result of the accident. In this regrettable scenario, a family member may file a wrongful death lawsuit, depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident. Family members may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit if the motorcyclist suffers fatal injuries.

Interestingly, insurance companies sometimes offer very low amounts to settle the claims because they believe they can portray the rider in court as a "hotshot" who brought the accident on himself. Because of this, The Law Offices of Andrew MacLaren Stewart prepares every case for trial.
