What Are the Leading Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Motorcycle accidents often happen in an instant, but the factors behind them are usually preventable. Because riders have less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, even a minor collision can lead to serious injuries.

Leading causes of motorcycle accidents include:

Distracted driving
Unsafe lane changes
Failure to yield the right of way
Speeding
Drunk or impaired driving
Following too closely
Left-turn collisions at intersections
Poor road conditions and hazards

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle accidents can cause serious injuries that often require extensive medical care and recovery time. Because riders have less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, crashes often result in injuries that affect mobility, independence, and everyday life. At Goff Law Group, we help injured riders navigate the legal process and advocate for the support they need after an accident.

Common motorcycle accident injuries include:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Road rash and severe skin abrasions
Internal injuries
Neck and back injuries
Soft tissue injuries
Facial and dental injuries

Handling Complex Insurance Claims

When dealing with the insurance companies, motorcycle accidents often present a number of unique challenges. There may be a number of at-fault parties, such as another motorist on the road or the manufacturer of a defective motorcycle part. Additionally, insurance companies often have a strong bias against motorcyclists and try to blame them for their own injuries.

What Compensation Can I Receive After a Motorcycle Accident?

After a motorcycle accident, the financial impact can extend far beyond immediate medical care. Depending on the circumstances of the crash and the severity of the injuries, different types of compensation may be available to help address both short-term and long-term losses. Our attorneys work to identify all available avenues of recovery and pursue the full value of each claim.

Compensation after a motorcycle accident may include:

Medical expenses (past and future treatment)
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Rehabilitation and therapy costs
Loss of enjoyment of life
Emotional distress
Out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident

We Are Fearless in Our Approach to Motorcycle Accident Cases

We can see to all the legal details of your situation, taking this weight off your shoulders and affording you the time to recover and get your life back on track. We can also help you prepare a claim with your own insurance company to help make ends meet until your settlement comes through.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

How can a motorcycle lawyer help me?

At Goff Law Group, our motorcycle lawyers can investigate the crash, gather evidence, deal with insurance companies, and build a strong claim while you focus on recovery. We work to protect your rights, prove liability, and pursue the full compensation available under Connecticut law.

Who can be held liable for a motorcycle accident in Connecticut?

Liability can fall on multiple parties depending on the circumstances, including a negligent driver, a commercial vehicle operator, a motorcycle or auto manufacturer (if a defect contributed), or even a government entity responsible for unsafe road conditions. Our team evaluates every potential source of liability to determine who should be held accountable.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

In Connecticut, most motorcycle accident injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation, so it’s important to act as soon as possible.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, but your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

What if the other driver is uninsured?

If the at-fault driver does not have insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. These claims can be complex, but we help clients navigate the process and pursue all available coverage.
