Wrongful Death Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders face many dangers whenever they get on the road. Due to the open nature of a motorcycle, any accident has the potential to end in death. Unfortunately, the antics of careless motorcyclists make all riders look bad, meaning that even motorcyclists who were behaving responsibly may face blame for accidents in which they were involved. This view can adversely affect insurance payouts to families or color jury decisions in wrongful death lawsuits. You need a knowledgeable and determined Phoenix wrongful death lawyers of Breyer Law Offices on your side, pursuing justice on behalf of a family member lost while riding a motorcycle through no fault of their own.
Common Arizona Motorcycle Riding Hazards
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the following are some of the things that motorcyclists should always do in order to ride as safely as possible:
- Watch out for other vehicles violating your right-of-way by abruptly turning into or merging with your lane.
- Remain alert for unexpected objects in the road, like fallen debris, potholes or loose gravel.
- Obey legal speed limits in order to retain maximum control of your bike.
- Reduce speed when traveling in dangerous weather conditions such as ice on the road.
- Be extra cautious at intersections, in heavy traffic or at night when other motorists may not see you clearly. Use reflectors and lights.
- Never drive a motorcycle without first getting proper training and obtaining a license.
- Never drive a bike under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and avoid other vehicle drivers who appear to be intoxicated.
- Always wear proper safety gear such as thick leather clothing and helmets; though not legally required in Arizona for riders over 17, helmet use is a wise decision.
