We Know the Causes of Alabama Motorcycle Accidents and Who Is Liable

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) reported 1,865 motorcycle collisions in one recent year. Almost 1,200 of these motorcyclists were hurt, and 95 lost their lives. This makes motorcycle accidents a serious risk for riders in the state.

Some of the ways other drivers can cause these collisions include:

• Failing to yield when turning, often turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Changing lanes without checking blind spots
• Following too closely, commonly called tailgating
• Opening car doors into the street without checking for approaching motorcycles
• Running traffic signals or signs
• Speeding or aggressive driving
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Misjudging motorcycle speed and distance

When another driver causes a crash, the motorcyclist can hold them accountable if they can show that the driver acted negligently. Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care. This often occurs when a driver violates a traffic law, such as:

• Failing to yield (Ala. Code § 32-5A-111)
• Improperly changing lanes (Ala. Code § 32-5A-82)

If you are hurt in a crash, prioritize your health and well-being. Get medical care immediately and take pictures and video of the scene only if you are able. Be sure to contact law enforcement and avoid discussing your accident with the insurance companies before talking with us first.

How Our Attorney Builds a Case to Hold the At-Fault Driver Accountable

Our attorney and his team will take the necessary steps to build a compelling case that shows the insurance company or a jury that you deserve to receive fair compensation. This requires us to gather evidence to show fault and evidence to document damages.

Evidence to prove fault may include:

• Police accident reports, including documentation of any citations issued
• Eyewitness statements about how the crash occurred
• Surveillance, traffic, or dashcam video of the accident
• Expert testimony from accident reconstructionists explaining fault

The evidence we would collect to prove your damages may include the following:

• Medical records and bills
• Photographs of injuries and vehicle damage
• Damage to helmet and gear
• Lost income documentation, such as pay stubs or employment records
• Expert testimony to explain prognosis and future care needs

Our attorney will use this evidence to present a strong case and convince the insurance company to pay a fair settlement. If this is not possible, it may be necessary to present the evidence at trial and ask a jury to award the compensation.

In Alabama, the statute of limitations (SOL) for filing a personal injury lawsuit is typically two years from the date of the accident under Ala. Code § 6-2-38. If you do not file your lawsuit during this time, you will likely lose the right to seek compensation. However, some exceptions exist that could extend or toll the statute of limitations, such as if the victim is a minor or legally incapacitated.
