According to recent motorcycle and bicycle accident statistics, crashes involving motorcycles and bicycles are increasingly common. Unfortunately, more and more riders are getting hurt and killed. After helping dozens of victims of motorcycle and bicycle accidents, Sagi Shaked and the Shaked Law Firm know how to take on the insurance companies and win cases involving any of the following types of motorcycle and bicycle crashes:
Crashes involving cars and trucks: Three fourths of motorcycle and bicycle accidents involve other vehicles. Most common type of accidents are those in which the car or truck did not see the bike and turned left or right straight into the bike’s path. They either collide or the bike is forced to swerve and crashes.
Wrecks with car exiting a parking lot: How many times have your heard a friend or a loved become of victim of a car or truck pulling out of a parking lot without looking for oncoming riders. When these events happen, the rider has little if any time to react.
Single-bike accidents: Usually, the police report blames the biker for a single-bike accident, but all too often it is actually due to dangerous road conditions or defective equipment. Low siding, high siding and “endo” (end over after jamming on the brakes) accidents are most common.
Bicycles: prescription drugs without prescription Bicycle riders have special concerns, the threat of being “doored” — that is, being hit by someone opening a car door. Our firm has handled many bicycle accident cases.
Chains and ropes across trails: Sometimes property owners will put up chains or ropes across trials that they don’t want used by off-road bikes. Too often, bikers won’t see these ropes until they have caused accidents. Property owners do not have the right to cause injury this way, and must mark trials to warn any off-road bikers about obstructions.
Rear-end collisions: Many accidents are caused by cars rear-ending motorcycles, bicycles and scooters that they cannot or did not see.
U-turns: Car drivers, seeking parking spots, make unexpected u-turns, suddenly braking and crossing lanes of traffic without warning, and crashing into unseen and unsuspecting motorcyclists and scooter riders. With little time to react, and nowhere to go, motorcyclists and bicyclists usually end up injured, but still to blame.
Road debris: Grease, motor oil, loose pavement, uneven concrete or blacktop surfaces, pot holes: all are potential hazards the motorcyclist and bicyclist face every day.
Car doors opening unexpectedly: Car passengers are usually not expecting motorcyclists or bicyclists. While most car passengers probably do not look, even those who do may still fling the car door open because they did not look closely enough to see the motorcycle driver approaching.
