Negligent Drivers in NH

When you take to the road on a motorcycle, you place your trust not only in your skills as a driver, but in the other vehicles on the road. You trust others to operate their cars and trucks safely and effectively and to prevent harm to yourself and others. When this trust is breached and another driver takes actions that endanger your safety, the negligence of another driver can have serious consequences. Read on for more information on negligent drivers and your rights:

While motorcycle crashes are primarily a one-vehicle affair, up to 56 percent of all motorcycle crashes involve more than one vehicle – and these accidents comprise 85 percent of all motorcycle fatalities. Motorcyclists who are struck by other vehicles are at especial risk, and the motorcyclist dies instead of the other in a whopping 98 percent of fatality crashes.

If the statistics are this striking, then why don’t drivers exercise more caution when sharing the road with motorcyclists? Unfortunately, many do not watch for motorcyclists or know the rules of the road. They may cross a motorcycle’s path inappropriately or turn without looking, violating their right of way and striking the motorcycle. They may fail to brake or make aggressive, sudden movements that compromise the motorcyclist’s vision or balance. And they may do so with devastating consequences – broken bones, facial disfigurement, burns, even paralysis, disability, or death are common outcome of motorcycle accidents at the hand of a negligent driver.

Luckily, the law allows individuals who have been injured due to another person’s lack of care to file a civil lawsuit taking them to task for their negligence and demanding monetary compensation for their injuries. However, filing a New Hampshire motorcycle accident lawsuit requires extensive investigation and evidence collection and can present a challenge to individuals who have not armed themselves with the right personal injury attorney. It’s a choice that becomes increasingly important when you realize that the consequences of the injury sustained could be lifelong.
