Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in MD

Motorcycle accidents are not uncommon here in Maryland. Unfortunately, they are almost always preventable. In many cases, motorists neglect to show motorcyclists the respect they deserve and cause accidents. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in Maryland are as follows:

  • Inclement weather conditions
  • Poor road conditions
  • Drivers failing to check their blind spots before merging
  • Drivers tailing motorcyclists too closely
  • Drivers failing to look before opening their car doors–dooring accidents are not uncommon
  • Motorists speeding, texting while driving, or driving while intoxicated

Satisfying the Burden of Proof

After a motorcycle accident, it is important that you document the facts surrounding the accident to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim. Simply put, the “burden of proof” is that to recover compensation, you will have to prove that you were injured because of another party’s negligence.

Some of the most useful forms of evidence can include pictures/videos of the accident and its aftermath, a copy of the police report filed at the scene, witness testimony corroborating your claim, medical documentation pertaining to your injuries, and more. In many cases, an experienced Prince George’s County motorcycle accident lawyer can subpoena surveillance footage of an accident as it happened. This is often the most effective way to prove a personal injury claim.

Recovering Compensation

As long as we can prove that you were injured as a direct result of another party’s negligence, you should recover financial compensation to help you deal with the economic and non-economic damages you’ve sustained. Economic damages include the cost of medical care, lost wages, and more, which non-economic damages deal with non-monetary damages, such as emotional trauma, pain and suffering, the loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
