SUMMARY

Single Bike Accidents: Not Always the Rider’s Fault

According to “The Hurt Report,” a collection of motorcycle accident statistics, around one-fourth of motorcycle, bicycle and scooter accidents are single bike accidents, in which a rider hit something or wiped out. Around two-thirds of the time, the blame for the accident is put on the rider — but keep in mind that even something as seemingly authoritative as a police report is not always accurate. At the Dolan Law Firm, our lawyers have taken on many cases in which the police assigned all the blame to the rider for a single-bike accident, and our lawyers have successfully proven that other factors were truly to blame.

For instance, single-bike accidents are often due to  road hazards or defective equipment. For example, our chief trial lawyer, Christopher Dolan, took on a case in which the police attributed 100% of the fault for a single-motorcycle accident to the rider. Chris Dolan represented the rider, who was badly injured, and proved that the accident actually occurred because of a roadway defect of loose gravel left by a construction crew. The injured man received a $1,650,000 settlement against Lake County.
