Motorcycle Accident FAQs

In order to establish fault after a motorcycle accident, it is critical to conduct an investigation as soon as possible. Skid marks on the road, the damage to your bike and the vehicle that hit you, and other forms of evidence can all disappear if not photographed and collected promptly. In addition, it may be necessary to subpoena the driver’s phone records or obtain a copy of the accident report to help prove that the driver was distracted or drunk at the time of the accident. There are many other ways to prove fault as well, and the key is to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation.
